When is the hood coming in man?

Viet_Amg408

i just got off phone with them.. they waiting for the old hood to arrive at their wharehouse, before they can send me correct one..blah blah blah,

something tells me, they going to make the same mistake again...

when i search for parts online, i notice sellers list "FITs: 2000-2006 w220"..they don't know that 03 change facelift..so end up with wrong parts..

i give up trying to tell them that 2003 and up are different...

ShangoAshe

wow... i hope it doesn't turn out to be too big of a trouble...

its hard dealing with operators man... Hopefully the next shipment will be the RIGHT one!

Viet_Amg408

i hope so... how about you? decided on next set of wheels?

ShangoAshe

yah man haha i ended up with the Concave 10's from 360Forged!

If it doesn't turn out that great I'll probably sell it and get another set. I got them for a deal anyways so it's not too bad.

360 Forged just finishing everything as of today and should ship my wheels friday!

Viet_Amg408

what color finished?

ShangoAshe

not sure if i told you but i'm gona give 285/25/20 and 255/30/20 a shot haha hopefully i can sort out the rear! (Pulling and Rolling the Fenders) haha

ShangoAshe

chrome lip and brushed finish for the face, I'm planning to paint the area in between the spokes black! but that's just a thought!

Viet_Amg408

how wide the rear?... u can fit up to 11inch width in rear, depends if the offset is really agressive..

look like this cls

ShangoAshe

very similar but unfortunately with our cars we can't get that much concave because of the offset and brake clearance...

I'm running 20x10.5 et35 and 20x9.5 forgot the offset for the front... haha

so with the offset my concave might only look like the front wheel of the CLS... but i'll still get some staggered looking concave so we'll see how that turns out!

Viet_Amg408

Im just worry 285...thats alot of meat.. the more agressive the better though lol.. can't wait to see it mounted

ShangoAshe

I have a feeling I'll rub like a **** but you'll never know unless you try it i guess... haha the reason I went with 285 is because no one makes 275/25/20... so the next up is obviously 285/25/20

fingers crossed dude

Viet_Amg408

countdown starts...2 more days huh

ShangoAshe

haha they ship on friday haha i should get them in a week or two

Oxygen

That CLS looks KILLER!

Viet_Amg408

Just finished putting everything back. (painted valve cover black)

benz_addict

Looks good man everything is coming along quite nicely. The SC and intake look CLEAN! I like the valve covers I was thinking of painting them black too but it would hide the oil leaks etc etc.

Just a question why did you get rid of your stock ram air setup? What are the benefits of running a single cone air filter at the TB? Wouldn't it draw too much warm air?

Viet_Amg408

I still have it, i been testing it out sigle intake for couple months now..it seem great..just don't let it sit in the rain.. lol

i removed the center vent tray, so its sucking in air from that area..

Viet_Amg408

WTB: anyone got oem center grille assembly 03-06?

ShangoAshe

the black valve covers look sick! I'm going to get mine powder coated black as well a long with my top mounts!

02S430

i have 285 30 20 on my s and i rolled my rear fenders and had the back pad where the wheel meets the rotor professionally machined down to make the offset more and it rubs a little still. think my problem is the tires are tall not round edges.

Viet_Amg408

lol you need stretch tires.. ..yea go with smaller tires

Viet_Amg408

yea i figured black valve covers bring out the contrast of the supercharger

hopefully i can soon....
