Hey folks,

heres a few shots of the ride before.. and after

Big Ups to John Meyer (DRANGED) and Sonic Motorsport. Yes, I was the unanimous buyer for John's wheels and Im very very happy with them. I bought my Complete Mtech kit from DARWIN and the SonicMS Family to include a trunk Finisher and Bilstein Coilovers. Unfortunately, I've decided to not lower my ride. Nothing really major. I know it would look great slammed, but I personally think it looks fine with the sport suspension and would rather put the 1200 bucks into a wheel and tire package for my EClass benz so Darwin has agreed to take em' back and in return I will purchase the package from them (with a small fee). The shop I got the car painted at was reluctant to paint the PDC sensors because they had a bad experience and wanted to wait for the Go or NoGo from me. I dont think it looks horribly ugly, but kinda tacky so I'm having them paint over when I bring it back for the final touches and flaw corrections. I've read a few posts about painting over them on the forum and Im getting a bunch of mixed emotions. Any suggestions? Also has anyone successfully installed a remote start for their e6o experiencing no problems? Pondering whether or not I should move forward with that.

JR

oh. and im returning the Bilsteins on Monday when I put in my order the the wheels. If anyone is interested the price I am getting back for them is the same as I paid minus the return shipping fee. I paid 1200 and the shipping is 70 bucks. I hear this is a pretty good price Holla!

The roof was actually already Jet black. That was my stock color. But the shop refinished it without me knowing which was a plus. I went to a local Mom n' Pops Spot in San Jose

I love the black roof on white. The finish on those M166 looks great; I like the contrast

Wow, you would never know that the before and after was the same car. Sort of like E60 Extreme Makeover.
