Ever See Hydraulics on a Mercedes Before?

Yes, this is my car. I have a few more things to do before it gets another full detail again (A few magazine photoshoots coming up). As of right now it has about four coats of FK 1000p, and the flake pop in the sun light is just awesome.

An "in the sun" pic (see how great the 1000p looks?):

Oh yeah, here are the hydraulics (will have a little more work done in here as well):

Hope you guys like seeing something a little different! :bigups
 
You can go lower than that! Just mount the wheels ON TOP of the vehicle and bury the frame UNDER the ground!!!

Looks good.



Slightly surprised you went with hydraulics instead of airbags.

Interesting you say that. It's just so cliché for me to have air bags. Hydraulics are much more complex, but with its complexity comes a much greater reward. You get a better ride, higher lift, and more puzzled faces when people see the setup. It's very simple to understand how air bags work; it is just the opposite with hydraulics.
 
I'm usually not a fan of hydraulics (more into race setupds) but you did it very well! IF it was raised up just to match the wheel well with the outside of the tire that would look really hot IMO. Car looks really really clean too! Great job.
 
yeah what mag?! VIP CAR?



Man you did so good on this ride, your setup is so clean... I want to build a sick JDM a s f*ck VIP car. WALD ftw! I love car stylin' trends..



shake off the haters, some of these guys just don't understand. :(

YUP.

Also to me hydraulics have that "old skool" feel as well and when put together properly and securely in a clean VIP it's just so much better..



let me know if you ever want to sell it.

This one looks almost like VASupershine's project car:

That thing is sick! I only have a 24 volt system so I definitely am not superfast as that car is, but then again my system is meant more for a daily driver and not for hitting combinations. As far as what magazines it is going into, I don't want to say which yet as I have several possibles, probably ones you have never heard of anyway.



As far as having a VIP style, I certainly think I do, but true VIP enthusiasts would consider it a travesty to call my car VIP, which is fine by me. I like having a car that can appeal to many different people, as well as turn off some people. I like how I can enter my car into Euro shows, Lowrider shows, "VIP" shows, etc. I definitely have a diversified car. And yes, WALD ftw!

This would be my typical ride height. High enough to where I can hit a large dip and not scrape and the right height to where I get no camber wear.
