Well, I said my modding days were over.
So I said to myself when I got my car 2 years ago(exactly to the date), "I won't mod this car, except for a quiet exhaust system and ecu tune. No external mods."

I was wrong.

I just spent 4k on mods in ONE night. Getting some 265/30/19 action, some Brabus action, some more Brabus action, and another Brabus action, and one AMG action.

Pics to come later when I got them in.

ps. Anyone know where to find matte black paint?

I think I will be one of the FIRST on the island with these specific tires too.

This tire's thread pattern is INSANE. The place I was getting it from was out of stock and I paid extra to have them shipped from EDM land.

I know how it feels...
Once, I spent $10K in a day on mods before my car even arrived at the dealership. lol.
Cars just look "right" with mods.

I thought you already went through a big hoopla about choosing rims...are these the rims that you were trying to pick from? What tires are those?

Long story short Blake,

By the time I picked the wheels, they went out of stock(for months). Job security problems came out(State FTL) so decided to hold off until it settled.

The wheels I wanted came back in stock, and I'm picking them up as well as a ton of different parts.

Oh...it's up to 5k now. :/
