Auto Couture Kit ON!!!
thanks to Gene Arch for the deal, Bruce Nomura for the installation help, and T&C Body and Paint for the paint and crack repair work (the kit is thin in some places and I know it'll crack again as soon as I meet my first bumper stop)

yeah i know...unfortunately lowering isn't an option right now wheels are Brabus 9.5 inch all around and i would have issues in the front and with the hubcentric rings the way they are spacing the rear out may not be a good idea...i have been contemplating going 20x8.5 20x10 Auto Couture Stimulous...got a HOOKUP?!?!

Are there any weird or annoying resonances at lower rpms with the top up? I put a tri flo on a 540 I had and it had a great idling tone but in normal traffic (1500-2500 rpm) it was horrible inside the car. The sc430 is my daily driver so I don't want to repeat the mistake. What's your experience in traffic?

looking good J....you know my opinions....too bad you can't go lower.....what are the offsets on those wheels? Perhaps we can help you move them on MBworld or something? I think that those ACs you mentioned would be sweet!
