Edward's 2009 C300


This car as you see it no longer exists. This is Edward's 2009 Mercedes C300


When I first met Edward at the beginning of this school year the car was relatively stock, a couple visual mods but nothing to make the car stand out, H&R lowering springs and OEM shocks from his canyon running days on Glendora Mountain Road. After getting to college however he put those days behind him and decided to turn this ordinary sedan into something more. Something mature and refined, and that he definitely did.

A couple of weeks later Edward scored a set of D2 coilovers, bringing those fenders close to his Euro63RS wheels measuring 8.5" in the front and 9.5" in the rear, and custom powdercoated white with a polished lip. Now you may be saying okay, a slammed car with wheels, no big deal. But here's the cool part. Rather than just doing coilovers and wheels Edward also decided on a VIP theme for his car. Running Junction Produce curtains all around, with a Junction Produce Fusa, custom table, and a custom hardwood trunk the car incorporates a bit of Japanese flair to this clean European sedan. Meanwhile on the outside an AMG diffuser and Carlson lip provide a bit less ground clearance while aggressive black headlights and black grille give the car a meaner look. Finally Edward rounded it all off with a set of puddle lights and full LED interior/exterior conversion.

Having known Edward for a while now and having him on board with us at Storage Seven we've all seen all the work that has gone into this car, and that's why we're so sad that Edward has decided to part out his car.



But there is a silver lining. Edward has talked to the other members of Storage Seven and has decided on a new project car, keeping the C300 as his DD, albeit bone stock. Don't worry though, while I can't share all the details of this new car know that its going to be very, very, very low, fitted, and different. Definitely keep an eye out for what he's going to be doing next.

Consider this both a farewell and a new beginning. While this car will no longer be breaking necks all around SoCal from its ashes will rise something new.
