Awesome! I am sure its a rocket. And good choice on going with Renntech 👍

I had the chrome handles wrapped in black vinyl. If you look at my pictures of my car on the 1st page of the thread you can see what they look like.

Here are some photos of the satin black powder coated wheels and the red brake calipers. All work was done by The Auto Firm here in Miami.
I still need to take better photos but these will do for now..

Next mod- change 35 percent tint to 15 percent tint all around with 65 percent on the windshield.

Here is a photo of the 15 percent tint all around and the 65 percent tint on front windshield.

Click on the link since MBworld seemed to have changed how to upload photos on here...

Haven't posted on here in a while, but I finished up most of my car. Added AMG quad exhaust tips with the stock diffuser. Then had the front grill completely painted matte black. Also had the Mercedes emblem in the rear and the "E550" badge painted matte black as well. Superior Auto Design did the work and here is a article on it with some professional photos.

Here's another pic I took

I believe so but I don't ever use it. I have paddle shifters as well but I hardly ever use those either. I do how ever drive in sport mode a lot by just clicking the sport button.

Thought I was finished with my car but I decided to add carbon fiber parts! Installed Boca big carbon fiber spoiler and Boca carbon fiber side mirrors. I bought the parts through www.moderncarbonfiber.com. MCF is a great company to deal with and their customer service is top notch.

Here are some pictures.

Recent night video of my car leaving Lamborghini Miami. My car is louder now that I switched over to just straight pipes all the way to the mufflers. No longer use an x pipe.


Also ordered my Piecha diffuser from Germany and it comes in July.

Finally installed my original Piecha diffuser and had it painted matte black. I'm now having my Revozport carbon fiber front lip installed.

Here are some pictures of the diffuser.
