Few new Mods

Once I had my new Project6gr wheels installed and lowered the car some more I decided to add a few more suspension goodies to dial in the alignment. Installed the BMR CP001 Camber plates and the BMR TR005 Rear adjustable toe rods. Alignment is now dialed in :D

BMR TR005 – Toe Rods, Rear, On-Car Adjustable, Rod Ends:



I also had some custom center caps made with a Ruby Red pony to match the car:

Again, I just have to say your car is in my top 3 for the greatest S550 builds. You have helped me more than once and have given me ideas for my new build that you might recognize when you see them lol.
+1. I think it is the best one of the forum. If you look at the build list on paper, it looks like he threw the kitchen sink at it, but then you see the pictures and it looks extremely tastefully done where everything compliments each other. Definitely the pride of the forum IMO.

[MENTION=24573]Lorne34[/MENTION] thank you, appreciate your kind words. For me I was set to order my car in Magnetic till one day I was on a lot and saw the Ruby Red in the sun and I was sold on it. For me you have to see it in the sun to fully appreciate it. The Modesta coating just brings out the extra brilliance of the color and adds tremendous depth to it. It also gives it a layer of extra protection. Everyone who sees me on a regular basis always ask how my car is always as shiny as it is. It's because the Modesta coating.

The Ruby Red is one of those colors that appears to be very different depending on if it's in the sun, shade and even at night. In the shade often times it looks almost burgundy. Really comes down to your personal choice and what you're drawn to. Cool thing about these cars is they look incredible in every color. Wish you could the best in your decision :cheers:
Thanks Dennis, I appreciate the input. Definitely sold me on the Modesta Coating... Was at a local dealer last night and had a Grabber Blue, Ruby Red and Magnetic all lined up in a row... You are right, this s550 model looks great in any color. just have to make a decision on what I'm drawn to and how I want to cosmetically modify the vehicle...

[MENTION=24573]Lorne34[/MENTION] Make sure you go back during the day when the sun is out and I guarantee all three cars will look different. This will give you a good perspective :cheers: Can't go wrong with any of them :thumbsup:

That is a mouthful but I couldn't agree more daltron...I see you are out here in Cali so I don't know if you have seen his car in person - wooooow! Thing is so tastefully done it brings tears of joy to my eyes every time I see it. Somehow He has managed to tastefully apply Carbon Fiber all over the car, both inside & out and it does not look ricer....at all! Just a gorgeous S550.

And it stops & goes like a possessed stallion (I know that was chessy but it's true LOL). Hope all is well [MENTION=16215]SC_Ruby[/MENTION]

[MENTION=15112]DarkHorse5.0[/MENTION] Thanks Jay :cheers: The Nor Cal / So Cal Cruise was just crazy busy and such a blur with meeting so many new people. Please excuse me but I certainly hope we had a chance to say Hi while we were there. If not please except my sincere apologies for not reaching out to you to say Hi. We ended up with 110 cars :cheers:
