Default New mods!

The car looks clean with some nice upgrades! The future mods should compliment what you have now really well!

I think that chrome on the side of the car "ghetto-fies" it. Take it off!

hey mark. i paid 200 for everything. Since a lot of people have the supra third brake light...i was looking my c230 and thought i'd do a mercedes thrid brake light. It's red and it flows pretty clean with the car.

I wouldn't bother explaining your choice of mods though...most here have never seen a vip magazine or knew that it existed. Others are used to the old CL where we use +43 offsets and +38 is "pushing the bar"

ssaristo, the escalade white is too yellow in my opinion. I would think about the lexus dpw, when you put both colors side by side, you'll see what I'm talking about.

yeah...i was thinking gunmetalic, desert gold, Black, DPW, even dark dark candy red, but it's been done, and I haven't seen the escalade white on the gs, VIP styled yet. so i thought I'd give it shot.
