1st place in Mercedes Category at RPM CHICAGO CAR SHOW

Hey,
I decided to hook up with a local tuner shop out here in Chicago and go out to the RPM Car Show. I took first place in the Mercedes Category. Here are a few pictures so far of what I could find on the forum. Great show with over 300 cars that entered. I will post more pictures as soon as there are more around the internet.
:drive:

That is a good question. I got to the show late after work, put my car in a day before so it stayed overnight. When I got there the car was already judged. I'm not sure how many Mercedes Benz cars entered but I will find out from one of the show organizers. I was busy chilling by my car so that no one would mess it up.

Congrats man! Love the stance. Best looking car out of all those pics.

I'd tell the show to get models that compliment your car next time though

Why do the wheel lips stick out past the tire rubber? Is that intentional?

Congrats on the win.

Yes I can drive it that low. I sometimes drive it like that, and sometimes I pick it up just 1 step up and drive it.

Thanks, and yes that is intentional it is a tire stretch.
