Pimpin the MM

[bigslim]

This is a MM that is at my job. He just put these 22's on it and I had to take a picture. By the way, he has the TV's inside too....

^^^^^^ :laugh:

Wheels are definitely not to my taste!! :rolleyes: But I do like the Blue. :D

[bigslim]

That is someones else's car. At my plant it is nothing to see 10-12 MM's sitting on at any one time. My site has 5 Ford Plants and the Steel Mill. So there are a lot of employees there.

[bigslim]

22" look good on the 300 but not on a Marauder. They just don't sit right. :down:

[ridinclean]

I dont like the wheels on the blue one, but that black one looks real nice. :cool4:
I have 22's on my Vic and had to cut out some of the corner of my bumper to lessen the rubbing. I dont know if I could bring myself to cutting an MM, but I sure do like that black one....

I understand customizing, but, 22s? :confused: Got a TV too! WOW! Guess its still a free country.

:eek: Slim, please track down this sorry bastard and shoot him. :nono: :shot:
If he hits one good pothole he can kiss those hideous rims goodbye.

And while your at it you may as well shoot the owner of that ugly ass Jeep also. :puke:

Look how the front tires stick out beyond the fenderwell, that is just assinine. :shake: And stop talking on the cell phone and snapping pictures while your driving! :cool:

Ya think so? I've never seen one that color. It must have been a limited run of one. :coolman:

Thats the Mothers three step plus I use Rain-X quick wax for a quick touch up.

You know it's funny you posted this Slim, my wife works over on Rotunda and Oakwood acrooss from the proving grounds and one of her co-workers asked if I was going to put 22's on the Merc. :rolleyes: I told her not in his wildest dreams , 18's are good enough for me. She agreed with me.

[MARAUDER S/C #5]

put 22's on the Merc.

Maybe the ride quality with those hideous rims will knock some sense into the owner!!

[bigslim]

This is the difference of what 22's look like on a car that can wear them. This is my buddy's car that he just posted on the 300C forum. He really is a nice guy and one of the guys I am working with on a Race day.

Those on the 300 look tastefull. The garish 22s make a Marauder look stupid IMHO. My personal feeling is that some poor Ford engineering slave spent long hours designing my suspension to work well with a certain size rims and tires. With fresh tires, alignment and balancing on the beast, she glides as if on oiled glass. I like the stock look, and thats part of the reason I bought the car. It was already customized for me.

Those 22s look great on that 300C, they fit the wheelwells great.
In fact...... it would look even better with a slightly 'taller' (higher profile) tire.

The space between the tires and fenders in due to the fact that this is an "AWD" 300c.

I think our cars lose a vital part of their character when the rims are switched out.

Now someone show me Marauder rims in black chome please! That would be kewl!! :burnout:

[THE_INTERCEPTOR]

I had to cut a little too, because I'm running such huge tires (305/40/22)

And I agree, I wouldn't NOT have shaved my car if I owned a marauder. Just would've bit the bullet and ran 265/35/22's. :D

Remember fellas, to each his own. :bandit: :beatnik:

BigSlim,
I have looked at these pics over and over since you first posted this. :cool: I have come to the conclusion that this MM does not have an original Dark Blue Pearl paint job. :rolleyes: It just doesn't look the same shade of Blue as my MM. Maybe it is the lighting or the photo quality. :D Ask the guy and see if that is a repaint of a Black MM. :confused:

I wish I could talk to him but I don't know who he is. He works on the SeverStal Steel side of the complex.

There's nuthin' like that tricked-out-SUV look to let the world know you're an a******. Man, will I be glad when this "wagon wheel" fad finally dies.

Not the same car. Rims are different.

[Donny Carlson]

Not the same car. Rims are different.
There are some interesting mods done to this car --

1) A custom molded trim piece for a DVD/TV screen where the factory radio head goes, and a single DIN head is where the climate control is normally -

http://i1.ebayimg.com/01/i/04/28/9d/22_1_b.JPG

2) A custom molded trim piece in the overhead console houses the relocated climate controls (it looks like the console was extended) -

http://i17.ebayimg.com/02/i/04/26/c0/26_1_b.JPG

3) The CD Changer is in the center console instead of the trunk -
http://i23.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/2e/b3/7c_1_b.JPG

4) Suede inserts a la Legal Knevil, though this guy went a lot further, including and insert on the steering wheel leather -

http://i6.ebayimg.com/03/i/04/27/59/eb_1_b.JPG

5) The suede inserts and the console cover must feel great, but I would be concerned about keeping these clean since the oils on hands/fingers will eventually cause some staining.

http://i9.ebayimg.com/02/i/04/25/f0/c7_1_b.JPG

6) There's some kind of decal or emblem on the door, can't make it out..
Marauder?
