First day I got my car. 2008 ivory pearl with 29k miles.



Three weeks later with Ipl front and sides.

Added the wheels on.





Excuse the dirty pics. I just got the wheels put on today and it was raining earlier. Next are the brakes.

Got my aero bumper put on.

 

^Pretty sure those are the OEM sport 18's on the Mercedes Benz E350's 07-09.

Yeah definitely not Vossen wheels. Looking forward to seeing those Meister on you ride. what finish? Any plans in the suspension department?

 

Wow, threw me for a loop because there's vossen center caps on them.

 

It's the standard black finish. I picked up some 10mm ichiba spacers so hopefully they'll clear the akebonos. It's already on bc racing coils. I haven't adjusted the height until I get my spacers and wheels installed.

 

No point in adjusting the coils til the wheels are on, makes perfect sense. Meisters were on my wheels of choice list when I was in the market late last year. It'll be keeping a close eye on your build thread.

 

Nice coupe man and love that IPL bumper. Just got my Works about to put them on soon can't wait

 

Indeed, I don't know how much lower I'm going to go. I have some gnarly roads I take in the morning to work. I'm hoping they fit with the spacers in all honesty. I guess that is part of the reason I've only seen one pic of the workmeister s1 on a g37. These akebono calipers are huge lol.

Thanks man and do post pics when you get them on.

 

Maybe you can contact whoever sold you the car and get some money back since those are not vossens? Especially if they sold it to you with those aftermarket rims as a feature. Clean car

 

I bought from a dealer so can't really do that. It also had stillen intake and exhaust. Minor changes and I'll make it my own. Thanks for the compliment. I'm really contemplating the rear ipl bumper now too.

 

Why..why..why did you put on the front plates! Unless houston is pretty strict on it cause in DFW it's really not that strict.

Car looks good..I got mines with 29k miles as well!

 

Lol, my friend said the same thing. I just don't want to get haggled for a front plate by the police.

 

I need to snap pics of a few things but picked up my fogs and slim washer bottle today. Ichiba spacers came in as well. Now, all I need is tires.

 

Is the bracket for the plate drilled into the bumper? Over 4 years with no front plate, a cop stopped me once and gave me a warning. What size spacers are you going to put on? Are you keeping those wheels?

 

I'm guessing it is. I doubt I'll get off that easy but who knows regarding the ticket. I went with 10mm front spacer for the front. I'm getting rid of those Mercedes wheels. I have a set of workmeister s1 in 19x9.5 +24 r disk and 19x10.5 +23 o disk.
