Silver stands out just right!


My Savini wheels and tires are in, hoping to put them on in the next few days, still need to ceramic coat them before installing them.
Lovin' it! The silver does make for a nice contrast paired with the blacked out look. SV F2's correct? That'll really make it look aggressive. Which finish did you opt for?

SV-F2 yes. Here a couple of pics. I’m waiting for the dealer to completely fix the front axle clicking/clunk front axle noise before I install them...can’t wait to see it complete. The paint correction and the decals are already making it look a lot better.
Gloss Graphite is the color


Looks great against the black

Wow that's gonna look sick. And how in the heck were you able to find Super Sport tires in that size?! Did you go with something other than 265 and 315?

Looks great! Small touch, but makes a huuge difference. It was probably the most satisfying part of the whole correction process for me. Nice work!

Speaking of small touches, I think I'm going to have to plastidip the small portion just under the center grill lip. Since my car is white, you can see the painted portion the black plastic grill is attached to. It's small and no one really notices it, but when I approach the car from the front, it catches my eye every time. Gotta black that bit out so it's truly unnoticeable.

So I purchased my ECU tune today from Eurocharged. I know, tuning these NA cars wont yield much gains, but EC claims 20hp 20lb-ft tq with no supporting mods, so I think it's worth a shot. I also have the BMC air filters installed to go along with this. I won't be doing any before/after dyno's, but I sure hope to feel a difference with the good ol' butt dyno and it not just be a "placebo effect". I have a stage 2 CLS AMG via EC and the gains were definitely as advertised...The whole process will probably take a week or two as I have to wait for them to ship the programmer to me, then send them my stock file, etc.
