Finally got my car back!!! Some pics

Genesis_SLK350 · 10-14-2007

Some pics of my car with the new Vossen wheels, Carlsson kit and lowered with Eibach... got it from the shop after the crash... will take better pics soon... I did a few mods on the side skirt since I didn't like the gap on the quarter panel...

**etyu** · 10-14-2007

What did you do to the side skirts? Can't tell very well from the pix and reflections. The ride looks very good after the repairs. Did the body shop or was it MB that sorted out the electronics issue?

**FishtailnZ** · 10-14-2007

Looks good!

Genesis_SLK350 · 10-14-2007

the body shop was the one who sorted the electronics issue... they had to hire a tech from merc to be able to use a star diagnosis... here's a pic that shows the side skirt... if you look at Wallance's car, you see that the side skirt has a little gap...

**Duo-Art** · 10-14-2007

It's not my taste but thanks for sharing the photos.

**-1-** · 10-14-2007

Are you satisfied with the body repair work?

V8SLK · 10-14-2007

the carlsson kit looks tough... nicely done. i also like the stance with the lowering kit. what size are your rims and tires?

Thanks... I copied YNOT's setup on his 19's, I have 19x8.5f 235/35/19 and 19x9.5 265/30/19... thank god no rubbing!

**alroumi** · 10-15-2007

Two thumb's up Genesis, now that looks very clean, sporty, scary and subtle at the same time.

Enjoy the new look!

GregoryGR · 10-15-2007

Well done Genesis! The car is like it is out of the show. To tell you the truth, i would be really discouraged after a crash (knowck on wood), but you really made it!

Baron7700 · 10-15-2007

looks nice, is that the carlsson diffusor too?

**Ynot** · 10-15-2007

Looks brand new, very aggressive.

RacerCub68 · 10-15-2007

Hmm, nice... Thank God you don't have the dolts down here in SOUTH Florida!

**nevets** · 10-15-2007

Looks Good!

...would like to see some more pictures especially of the side skirts and the front.

cyberdrakon · 10-15-2007

Wow! very nice...i love that bodykit! now you gotta post some larger pictures!

Zut · 10-15-2007

Good Job! That's one aggressive-looking piece of road machinery! Scary!

Genesis_SLK350 · 10-15-2007

Thanks guys!!!

Gregory, I know, I was really discouraged after the crash, it happened 1 week after I got the body kit installed, so you can imagine how broken hearted I was after the crash especially after thinking that the car could have been totalled by the insurance

Baron, yes it is the complete carlsson kit, sans, the quad pipes, its just a generic dual tips since I'm trying to save up the money for the carlsson exhaust system, I'm also thinking about either piecha or supersprint so any input from you guys would help a lot...

Ynot, thanks a lot, you helped me more than you know with getting this look achieved with the tires and rims sizes and also the lowering springs

RacerCub, i also live here in Southwest FL, i dunno what you mean by DOLTS?

Cyberdrakon and nevets, I actually have the larger picture but the problem is i can only upload a certain file size so I dunno how to shrink the file size without resizing the pic...

By the way, sorry if the pics aren't that good, a.) not a very good photographer b.) the tires doesn't even have tire black hehehe

will post better pics soon though!!!

Upload the files to photobucket.com and it automatically resize to 800x600. You still get to keep your orig. pix files. copy the IMG link and paste that in your posts.
