It's clean man. I wouldnt have done the fender trim though.

As for wheels, you should get some mono II's. Or I got some '00 W210 wheels that are like new ( one is actually brand new).

Is that tire mounted correctly. It looks as if the directional arrows are facing backwards. If those in fact are directional arrows?

LOL no those are not the directional arrows. Just some design.

They are Michelin knock-offs and have the same pattern and everything as the MXV4 and drive the same when I had those prior.

I am a little bit worried with these chrome fenders creating rust. I sealed them as tight as I good and did pack grease inside so its not bare metal.

Nice ride!

I wish the fifteen hole wheels on my 16-valve looked that good!

They arent as good as you think. Something happened to the finish on them while the car was in the body shop and its very flat and has no shine. They will be redone this winter when I have my winter rims on.

Your ride looks good. If I had just glanced at the picture, and not seen the 380 badge on the rear or paid attention to the door panel trim, I would have sworn that was a 86-91 W126. It's looking good.

The upside of the fender trim is they help protect the fender lips in parking lots. Most of the dings I have on my SD are right on the fender lips. They stick out just enough to catch every morons door. I've thought about adding them just for that reason. As far as the look, they do detract if you're going for the clean, debadged look. Personal preference I guess.
Oh, BTW, sweet car!!
