car looks stunning.

I am not hating on your car. The only thing I would do differently is the front bumper carbon inlay. I noticed that you had it "cut" off by the fog light. I think it would flow better if it actually went around the fog light instead of right before it.

For a second when I looked at the picture in the Driveway I was like
....EHHHHHH!!

I hate it when i hit the driveway concrete and scrape the bottom!!
It hurts!

But that car is SICK!! I love the look completly, I must agree with BLUELEX.. the carbon fiber in the rear should be somewhat minimized..IMO.

BUT OVERALL BADD AZZZ!

Holy cow, SoCal, that thing looks AMAZING. And my favorite thing on the whole car is the blue-painted inner rims. SIMPLY AWESOME! Such creativity, so glad you did it.

The hood does throw me off a little bit, with those two holes....but hey, as long as you like it, that's all that matters.

Great car, sick paint job! New wallpaper time!

Amazing wheels

The ride looks great with that fitment. I think a wheel like that would
look great on a 3GS too.

Wow... thread from the dead!

Thanks again, guys. The car continues to snap heads wherever I go... it gets
WAY more attention than the CLS on 20s we have here at the office. I can't
stop at the gas station without someone asking about the car - this is exactly
what it was built to do.

Unfortunately, now I'm scared to drive it to clubs or anywhere that's at all
questionable... for that, we take my brother's car or I rent a car.

On the carbon fiber; in person, the proportions of these sections looks
terrific. The concern on the rear bumper was that if the c/f strip
was too small, you wouldn't be able to see the texture. In the sunlight
the c/f weave has incredible depth. Visually, we were trying to create
the look of a rear diffuser, and in this, I think we succeeded.


Here's a different look with another set of wheels I had on the car for a quick minute.

Those wheels look terrific Bob.

What is the color of the center? What size are they? 21's?
