Hi, Im that kid that had the 98 E430 and was asking about puttin 20s on it, and all of you were like "omg oh noez" lol.
Well, since then, I bought a newer refreshed model, and put the 20s on, and Im glad I did, I think it turned out pretty well.
What do you guys think?
Everyone told me I would have to get my fenders rolled and that Id need to put spacers, but they fit just perfectly. And the ride quality has not suffered very much at all.
I want to do more, but Id like your opinions, and I have a question concerning compatability with the steering controls and a new head unit.
Things I wanna do
-------------------
-Tint the windows
-Put a new exhaust on it (And possibly cut the rear bumper to accomodate the twin pipes on the left side)
-Smoked side markers
-Smoke the clear part only of the rear light
-Possibly powdercoat the emblems black (Im undecided on this)
-Possibly install the star grille (Undecided on this as well cause I love seein that benz logo from inside the car lol)
And of course, I wanna put a new head unit in the dash, however I dont want to lose compatability with the steering controls.
If I install a new unit, will I lose that?
And also, Ive heard of people putting the ML nav unit in the W210, is that possible? Do you retain steering controls?
What other possible options do you guys suggest regarding the dash unit?
And finally, Id like to hear any other suggestions.
