Hello stanceworks! ive owned my 2008 c350 for about 2 years now...and in the 2 years... i learned alot and i had a great time learning about my car. there were alot of ups and downs in my build such as car accidents...stuff falling off but in the end everything turned out okay
so i guess ill start from the beginning to where i am today
my dad drove an S550 and my mom had a GLK350 so as the Son i KNEW i loved mercedes...and at my age of 17 most people go with japanese imports...but i knew i had a love for european imports.
well this is the first day i got my car! after a long day at a mercedes dealership
my relationship with my parents and me with modding cars were very opposite...they didnt want me modding it at all...but i have a big passion for cars and i ***** seeing it stock while all my other friends had alot of fun helping each other out with their mods...so i started it off very slowly...buying tint...vinyl wrapping my roof...blacked out my grill and the center of my bumper...red calipers...and new amg centercaps also window visors! :y
Nothing very serious at all...as you can see all the mods so far can be done at any tint shop pretty much...LOL
through time and car meets i would ALWAYS ALWAYS see lowered cars in my area of southern california.......my car was SOOO high! my friends would angle down driveways and what not and i would go straight down haha but with that being said i decided to go for it and lower my car....i bought a set of H&R SUPERSPORTS on ebay and that was my first kinda real serious mod. :naughty:
didnt have any money for coilovers yet :\
anyways so my car was lowered....kinda...i think buying springs isnt even a big drop at all...or it didnt satisfy me as i wanted to be lower but oh well i bought springs already theres nothing i can do...eventually i saved money for wheels...and by now im 18 so still in highschool and really liking the car scene! i LOVED gold wheels and i dont really have money so i decided to buy a set of BBS LM REPS cause there were so cheap
at this time...i had now bought a carbon fiber lip and bbs lm reps with new tires! i thought this was gonna be done! i was so happy with everything...i didnt know too much about fitment..or wheel/tire specs so i was very happy with my car....
Gold bbs lm specs are
18x8+40 SQUARE setup!!!
eventually i was very content with my setup...but throughout the months i found out more about wheel fitment/widths and i knew i could do better so i eventually got a good deal on coilovers....me and my girlfriend both bought a set for ours cars
after coilovrs were installed in the same week or so i bought wheels!!! and one of my favorites i found on craigslist! CCW LM20'S!! ALREADY IN 5X112!
18x8.5+36
18x9.5+36 with a 8mm spacer in the front and back!
oh man!!! i cant tell you guys how excited i was too put this on!! i eventually even did the bolt conversion to use aftermarket lug nuts
i have PLENTY PLENTY more mods too name...like my interior and lighting...but ill just post up a long list of how my car currently sits....and pictures
blue window tint, junction produce curtains,
im alot lower than this picture now haha
