Floormats at night,

Wonderful look I love it!

I just want an alacantra headliner with the A-pillar, thicker brabus steering wheel and a cf diffuser then it will be perfect.

Awaiting AMG doorpins, brabus rear spacers and the AMG indoor car cover.

rear 3/4 shot, honestly I am very satisfied and I love modifications as you can tell from my posts.......the car feels more stable now not necessarily stiffer as its unnoticeable because I just jumped back to this car after driving an S-class so its stiffer.

The lowering makes the wheels pop up more,

Do the wheels scrape if you go over a speedbump at speed?

I went over several speed bumps on the way back home, it didnt scrape and i didnt clear it sideways, its not my daily driver so i dont have to worry.

It has the perfect stance now. Did you order the rear diffuser?

Looks great ! Small but an important upgrade.

BTW, I would advise you to re-do the wheel alignment in a week or so cuz those springs will settle a bit more which might disturb the current settings. I usually wait a week before I do any wheel alignment after springs...
