Also noticed you can convert the hi beams to 8000K HID with a simple kit, then the hi's, low's, fog's will be all same color.

I think the car looks great. Do you find that the ride is bone jarring at that height? When mine is that low, it will knock my filling out!

Thank You, I appreciate that very much. Everyone has a dif style but I'm glad people like to be open minded and can understand what I was going for.

For 2011 I will be working mainly on the interior of the car along with the Engine Bay, something def different than anything that has been done. I was thinking about the SL63 rear bumper with a carbon fiber diffuser but not sure if that would look cleaner than my original one.

Because of the height, yes the ride is not all that comfy, however, the wheels along with my tire setup don't ride as rough as I was originally thinking. When I raise the car using airmatic, the car rides really smooth as if on original wheels.
