Find me a baller E350/E320 that hasn't had at least 10k spent on it and I'll send you 5 dollars. The exhaust points at the ground for goodness sakes.

I never said it was cheap to mod the car. Im saying it will be baller when its modded.

Ex: my car: the coilovers im getting in about 2 months is 2grand

what I said earlier was it was prohibitively expensive to mod and it was all around a boring ass car to drive. What car are you getting coilovers for?

dang, those are the original Devotions, 3 piece forged. Looks like they held up well in cltgo's hands. Anything except stock will rub with a drop like that. Can't wait to see the shoot with the car done!

Hey ron! Yeah, they held up pretty well. They need to be re-painted/re-coated and have a bend/light curbaged fixed. OG DEVOTIONS BITCHES!

Nice progress! Glad you came back to the Ack!

I started to get a MB E350 or a BMW 335, but the bang for the buck was better for me with my Ack! The mod potential for these cars are like that!

Now I understand when people say pics do no justice.

The fronts on these have a +42 offset as opposed to a +37 for the rears (or all around for the 5AT).

Damn, that's low!

Its cold but my car sleeps in the garage so its not that bad at all. I wouldnt care anyway. I'd warm her up before driving if I had to. The knob is worth it. The knob plus the short shifter is sooooo sweet.

I stopped really quick to take a few shots before the gym. I didn't worry about shadow reduction or anything. Enjoy or not, whatever.

Yeah yeah yeah. I'm going to raise the front about a half inch to match the back. What are you waiting for? If you are worried about NC inspection a) find a

inspector or b) just cut your shroud like Eric.

Oh, I wasn't knocking it, just saying it's not my taste...in other words, not in the usual tongue-in-cheek way that people typically say it. It really does look good. If you want something to yeah, yeah, yeah...put your ASPEC kit on.

I don't care so much about the inspection, I'm waiting on parts (see signature). I've got plans, and my plans require parts. I already have the headlights opened and painted...just need diffusers.
