What she currently looks like



looks like ill be raising the strut towers in the rear. I know thats soooo 2010 but im just getting around to it ROFL . pics of the damage that is leading me to the raise!



bad side



good side



and what she looked like when the strut tower blew out

such a nice looking benz!!!

im also curious about the controls.

is your friend (with the alphards) on air or static?

Paolo is also static. hes a member over here.
i use portable controls that can go on any automatic thumb is gas palm is for brake



also a few recent pics + photo dump of old camber arms.
Rieger lip etc.



straight pipe





Home made adjustable camber arms.







Also had the valve cover off doing a gasket change/ sparks & coils so i decided to give it some color as it was turning brown and the factory coating was bubbling.






installed a rockford fosgate p2d2 bridged on a 2 channel amp coming in at 4ohms hits very nice





the day we lowered D&W's C43 AMG

thanks all, And these controls arent very hard to install at all they have 4 wing nuts you tighten the clamp over the pedals and theres a strap over the steering column. I would ideally want to switch to permanent controls someday but I do drive other cars sometimes. So these work good for now . the only permanent controls i would want to drive with are the european style right hand controls that go right next to the gear selector. you push the stick forward for gas and pull back for brakes.

Nice build, inspiring story. im glad i read this

[SD202]

so some of you who know me may already know but. This rieger lip didnt last long. not to mention the entire passenger side was missing after having hit a possum on the freeway. so i picked up a Polyurethane ebay lip





I was very very skeptical of the fitment and quality due to the very low price of $99 bucks. and the lack of pictures of the actual product installed on vehicles. But surprisingly the cheap C36 Knock off front lip actually looks pretty good and fitment was actually really great for the pre-facelift W202s as the lip contours the rounded down part for attachment.
on to the pics. the lip shipped to my door was $108 ... some mercedes 149 polar white and clear ran me $38 and I was able to shoot it myself.

[hi its me alec]

so legit

[loekaaz]

looks much nicer with that new front lip. good work!
