What's next on the mod list? Red out vinyl for the tails and painted calipers?

Yeah i need to redout the tails. There is actually film already there but it's cheap and you can clearly tell it's not doing the job. Conisdering polishing the calipers instead of painting but not really on my list right now.

Next is getting the DigitalDesigns sub wired up, slap the figs stuff on, and alignment. I have honestly been considering the Aimgain fenders LX-Mode grill. Don't really know... so im just stacking and searching.

Ha, I did that first too. Bought cheap film that didn't quite do the trick. The precut ebay stuff is a lot better than the Chinese roll I bought.

Polishing the calipers sounds like an insane amount of work and upkeep.

Yup I had a roll in the garage from when I had my GS. The inner tails faded and it worked great on those but prob cause they were already red. Not so much over orange and the clear reverse lights here.

if I did polish the calipers I'd honestly hand them over to Chris at Dipsht.com. he is only 20 min from me... but yeah the up keep is my concern. Specially with this wheel pattern there isn't much room to get in there. Back burner mod though.

@is250916 thanks but it's honestly baller on a budget with a spouse and two little girls lol. But I'm trying.

Good fitment but I'm not feeling it because the wheels hide the beautiful IS350 calipers!!! But hey, if you like it, be proud and enjoy it! Some people don't like my TSW Nurburgring wheels either but who cares as long as I like it! because it is MY car

Very clean car! What tires are you running?

Thanks - I do miss seeing those calipers and rotors but I wanted to do something different. The infinitewerks I'm going to order will show those but with a Futura BBK.

I got the tires for $200 new ... Mayrun MR500. Not a bad tire actually even though the name itself isn't that appealing lol. Just couldn't pass on the deal. But I'll step it up with the second wheel set.

Everyone has different ideas of what looks good... that's the best part of modifying from stock.

Maybe I do miss my E-class more than I'd like to admit lol.

I appreciate everyone's input fan or not... at least it seems like everyone likes the fitment lol.
