Looks nice, but it would look much cleaner if you took off the decals on the tail light and quarter panels.

Just my 2 cents.

nope, you just reveal some wire from the running light and some from the rear fogs and tape it together. the whole bottom row will light up now like the 05s, opposed to just the corner lighting up. you will lose the use of your rear fog though.

That sucks about the scrape... sorry to hear that.

I think that the scrape might not be as eye catching as the white decals... your car looks really nice and those decals really dont do the car justice.

Good luck and keep up the good work!

$40 is expensive man. check out www.europeanplates.com $27 or $29 shipped. like $5 bucks extra for the bracket which you don't really need. you can customize standard 9 characters which the Europlate's only suppose to have 9 characters.

looks good man, btw i'd prefer euro impact strips rather than what you have right now. It gives cleaner look. Btw you should take pictures of the whole car.

would you mind resizing down the size a little bit? 800x600 pixels would be great. Btw, $250 is too much! I got it done for US$180 in canada(CAD$200). I dont know if the labour there is more expensive. Usually shops in here quoted for CAD$250.

'06 E350 Iridium Silver with pano
looks great...
just a few things that i did to make the tail lights look better....
get chrome bulbs that reflect amber for inside the taillights.
this eliminates the egg yoke look. also,
the light intensity for the inner bulbs are brighter than the outer ones
when the taillights are on. i replaced the bulbs for a more even look.
