LoL yes lame pun. But ya know gotta capture your attention somehow.

I finally took her out for a nice car wash. No wax though, I'll get to that sometime soon! It was just getting a bit late out and I needed daylight for some picture time!



No clue on what I want to do now for mods. Except for little things like the rear Stillen Lip + Jdub sides... But I'll leave her as is until I get more funds. Modding has definately taken it's toll on my bank account.

List anything you think would compliment the car though. I like to see what ideas everyone has. Nothing ricey though please! LoL

The things I'd like to keep the same are the headlights and grill. The theme I'm going with is silver/chrome + grey.


A nice overall shot.

Color Matched YAY ... I love matched wheels with polished lip

Thanks for the compliments!

maxboost - Damn now I wanted z32 calipers, but you have em. So I need to get wilwood or something to be different lol.

When I get a set they will be color matched

BTW I wondered if your brakes in the rear were stock or after market? That's the only reason I haven't made the switch to a BBK.

I have a set of D2s just don't like being slammed since we've got some pretty crappy roads around where I work. Maybe will do it for a show though.


Chubbie - Are you gonna be at the Vars. this Thursday?




Before with H&R -


Wow now I remember why I had em color matched. The light grey was wayyy off lol.
Front is higher and rear is lower. Looks like it's sagging...became worse after I put in a 15" sub w/box lol.

Can't tell the difference. I'm being honest. Ever since getting 19" wheels all I know is I hear and feel a lot more than I used to with the stock GLE wheels lol. At times the D2s feel smoother over bumps and at others it doesn't.

The noise from coilovers is another thing though I must say. You can hear me reversing or getting into a parking spot at times lol.

Even with 350z wheels which were 17" on the H&R setup + stock shocks. It was smoother quieter with a few bumps here and there.

Nothing beats stock ride in a GLE. I mean other than the whole bouncy bouncy thing.

These Privats don't clear BBK without spacers. You need at least a 10mm up front.

I was sure they'd clear a set of BBKs! LoL I was wondering what was with the large spacers in the front.

Makes sense TY for the tip!

Really sexy whip lady... All you need now is my CF hood. Did you black out the fogs??? If so you should match it up and black out the side markers in the front too... Then again it matches your headlights... I dunno, maybe get some clear fog lights so it all matches or tint ( like me ) everything lol.

Keep it up lady, really nice set up you've got.

Not much in performance mods just a simple I/Y/E and IM spacer kit.

Tint was done by me lol 20% window film tint that I cut out myself. I had it leftover from a different project. I like how it blends into the bumper.

I tried to tint the side markers, but the tint ended up bubbling so I may try the spray tint method.

Pic of the progress - I can do it for anyone local if needed!


5% looks good on black cars and platinum on light cars.

The spacers are 5mm front, 15mm rear.

Should be more like. Can we race?

Kinda sounds like you're allowing me to race you lol.

Why race when I've got heavy 19s and an auto? But if you absolutely want to then I say you race Mattyblacc He lives up in your area and a much better opponent.

Man these 19's suck. They added about .5 seconds to my quarter mile time. No joke.

That's why I'm trying to get a set of SSRs or something else that's light. Got a set of 350z wheels though teehee.

I would if I didn't use my canon A510 lol. It's like 3.2 Megapixels so pix don't look that good when they're larger. I'll get some better ones though for ya.

Will ask my friend if he has that one pic I posted in a larger wallpaper form

Been thinking about headers, but will wait since I've got a Y-pipe right now. It's definately on my to-do list.

H&R rears and D2 fronts. It was a temp setup for NOPI to make the drop look even
