It's one bad bitch!

RennTech Modifications:
ECU Upgrade
Crankshaft Pulley Upgrade
Handling Package 1 Upgrade
RennTech Lowering Springs
RennTech RS118 Wheels - Chrome Dipped by WSI. (These things cost more than 90% of the cars on this forum)
RennTech Deck Lid Spoiler


+/- Comments are always welcome. I know the rolling shots came out kind of shitty but I guess thats what I get for taking them in the super harsh sun.

Enjoy!

p/s isn't too bad and once you learn that, other adobe creative soft ware comes easily.
I'm sure you can find some starter tutorials online (or hell, even in the program itself).

nice

thanks :thumbup:

Very nice... I almost traded in my old Denali for a E500 on Renntech air ride lowering adjustment on some 19" Lowenharts... Much love for this body style... Very good photos!

it's downtown. theirs lots of it down there. I actually just kind of stumbled upon this place.

thanks, My boss is kind of an impatient guy so setting up the shots was kind of a pain in the ass. he was one of those "I think it will look good like this..." type of client. Really pissed me off too. I really just wanted to tell him to shut up and let me do my thing. Ohh well, i did what I could.

I'm going to be setting up a shoot with a Bentley GT on 22" lowenharts here soon so I should be able to have a little more free reign with that one.

You know whats ridiculous, the Renntech air ride lowering system is just a control module that uses the stock components on the car lol. Regardless... that Renntech shit is EXPENSIVE!

I love those AMG's. A customer of mine has a black one with over 650whp with a best of 11.2 on drag radials.

I've shot at that graffiti wall in phx before too. Its amazing what you can do to that wall to make it really pop in photoshop.

A shot I took a few years ago:

Jon;1493072']Nice amg!

they cost 1450 PER WHEEL + the chrome dipping at about 160 per wheel. so... a little over 6000 for the set, not including about 1000 in tires. 19x9 fronts and 19x10 in the rear.

ohh thanks for the compliments on the pics.
bigc: we should do a shoot together sometime!

volks? are you kidding?! those rims cost more than your life!


the car is sick as fuck but the rims bother me a little. i dont know why, i just think the design is a little plain, and could almost pass as stock wheels. DOPE pics though

i was thinking the same thing... volks? what, like almost every other Subaru, Evo, JDM MAd tyte honda, and VW? No thanks. I'll take the wheels that were designed to clear the big ass brakes and still offer a fairly aggressive stance.

thats the same car. I can tell by the sticker in the windshield.
The wheels were JUST dipped like 2 weeks ago.

Do you know a guy by the name of Serpe that drives a Bentley GT on 22" Lowenharts? he's the one that found the car for my boss (who bought it)

No I dont that guy, I know the car was sold by desert autosport to a guy (is it still owned by the guy? I was telling him not to turn off the traction control in the rain LOL) (I used to do alot of work for the owner of desert autosport) I always like driving the car, it was nice. I remember the guy who bought it picked it up on a rainy ass night, and he got a good deal on the car.

I think he bought it from Desert Autosports. I'd have to check though. I do know that he got an AMAZING deal on this car and he loves it. He hasn't actually given the car a full foot yet as he is kind of scared to. Luckiy, he let me put her through her paces and HOT DAMN does she move! My boss had a white knuckle grip on the door handle all the way up to 135 ish. He requested that I shut her down at about that point lol.

Yeah he got it at desert autosport, he got a smoking deal, I stayed late that night to help get him taken care of. Randy (the owner of desert autosport) is a great guy, just not to work for! I drove the car for about 40 miles the day he picked it up to make sure all was good, was alot of fun!

I think it was like 36k or 37k out the door.
Let me remind you that these cars sold for $90,000+ at the dealership brand new and the car has over 15K in RennTech upgrades.
theAngryMarmot
06-09-2009, 05:26 PM
actually the upgrades came to 26k and the list on the car was 110k

and I think he paid like 37 or 39 for the car.

I was tempted to get it myself, but did not want two payments.

after installation, I'm sure it did. I was just counting cost of parts.
Fuck these things are EXPENSIVE to modify.
