Btw, I know my wheels are dirty. Did a quick car wash before the pics and didn't really spend a whole lot of time scrubbing the wheels.

how hard is it to wash around those rivets in the wheels - I think they look awesome, maybe a nice soft bristle brush?

oh - and you should get some locking valve stem covers LOL j/k that's just too funny, I wonder how many tire jockeys went to twist off the caps and ended up tearing the valve stem off

Wheel cleaner + wheel brush with soft bristles. Takes about 10 minutes per wheel to clean thoroughly.



^^ My rear fitment. My wheels are 19x10.5 +19, and my rear fenders are pulled.

The headlights are just the OEM lights with CF pieces installed (tryings something different):










The grille is an OEM grille with the center line/stave shaved. The grille frame/chrome piece was painted Tektite, and the plastic insert was painted gloss black:

Car is looking good.

What bulb/lighting set up do you have for the inner smaller running lights. The ones touching the center grill. I am running 6k HID for fogs and low beam and need something to match and I think yours might work perfect.

If I do, I am leaving the MB/AMG family, after owning 9 MBs in a row... (Also expect a major part out)

If I don't.... Expect a crazy change to my car.... I mean really crazy!
