[Khalil]

Nice man.

We have the same car almost, and the same wheels. Mine are 18s though, going on soon.

Holy shit! Wheels are mental. I have 18's. Are they genuine 19's or re-lipped and barrels?

They are genuine 19s the rear where just rear barreled for a wider barrel and lip. I've been trying to find some that can get me new barrels for the front but not have much luck.

Thanks for the kinds words

So while deployed to the Paradise of Afghanistan I had this great Idea that I would give my Wife my 2009 C350 Sport that I bought back in 2010 as my first benz.







This was her previous car that I would now be driving as a DD







Needless to say she had no complaints lol... I chose to have the car repainted same factory color as well as purchasing a mirid of upgrades from HKS and TRD parts. Well while scrolling the net I came across pics of some stance E46 M3s and said hmmm, the IS300 is kinda slow, I already have a turbo'd car so I need a faster DD.


Checked back in with the wife about buying another car before we selling the IS300 as if I find a deal I want to jump on it, she said yes and so the 2 week long search began to find a M3 in the price range I was willing to spend.


I wanted to have a matching White but after realizing any one selling a white coupe wanted 22 and up I said I'll have to settle for another color. I was on craigslist and came across an ad that was a bit odd. One could say it was shady as there was no way this car was not a scam. A 2002 SMG second owner from 2005 fully loaded with every option given from factory completely stock other than wheels and no accidents at 13k.


Well I said what the heck I'll give it a go. I called the owner and to my surprise the owner was a 55 year old man that did architectural work in north Carolina that was looking to upgrade to a GT2 911 as his kids were out the house and he no longer need to have a car with a back seat.


After about 30 mins of speaking with him I was sold. I ask him to take down the add as I would have my wife and friend up there in two days to get the car with a check for his asking price. Well here she is an unmolested 2002 SMG 96k on the dash, no cracks in the sub frame, with a full maintenance record.

After a 12 hour trip shes home





Well a week later a buddy that had been eyeing the wifes car for a few months drove down from TN and scooped her, up. TIME FOR THE MODSSS>

First on the list was a Iconz Lip.





please don't ask me what was up with my nieces face lol....

Next was a set of DEPO eagle Eye Tails.



Since no one like rasp I purchased a Gen3 terminator rasp pipe section 1



After searching for about 3 weeks. A set of AC schniter type 2 racing 3 19s rare facotry sizing.

rears were rebarrelled to an 11


19x8.5 ET 17 front
