Brian your right about the plastic panals, the gray and blue contrast nicely. Just an idea I have toying with.

By higher rpms I mean over 4k, I like the sound of Cummins diesel's in the Dodge trucks when they get spooling. I probably wont do anything to the exhuast though because it does look newer. Their is also no rust on it so maybe it was replaced with a stainless system? Right in front of the first cat that is at the bottom of the down pipe their is a weld their. It looks like someone cut from the cat back out and welded in a new system.

But I think a slightly lower W126 would look nice, I just don't want it to ride harsher. I drive over a lot of crap roads and don't need it to ride any harder then it does. So maybe that will have to be writen off.

Part of the problem with changing anything on a Mercedes is it is real easy to get carried away. They look good stock, and changing things makes them look stupid real fast. So I will have to stick to little mods that are hard to find, like painting brake calipers black, painting the grill etc.

turbodiesel I have to disagree with you on the clear corners, I was thinking the same thing as you. But I got a set for free and tried them out, they do look very good on a dark car. On a lighter car the contrast isn't as great but on any darker W126 clear corners and euro lights set off the front nicely.
