Den Racho has always been a fan of German cars, especially Mercedes-Benz, and says he picked the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300 as his platform because of its unique modifying abilities. He also says the bagged C300 AWD is the only one in Texas, and with a custom hardline trunk, it sets him apart from the rest.
“I love everything about my car,” says Racho. “I think my carbon fiber parts are my favorite, and also my wheels.”
Racho plans to install even more carbon fiber and is also looking to upgrade his audio and lighting.
