Well, like I said earlier...definitely looks like it's encroaching into E class territory. Although I do like the thinner eyelid lights. LED's I assume? They look quite nice in color. More white than mine are. Mine are a tad too blue IMO. Also, nice HID fogs and wheels

I like that. Pretty original and looks pretty good. Wondering what size your rims are cuz they look HUGE but still look good! And what are you dropped on?

not a fan of the headlight mask. The bulbs looks a bit oddly out of position.

I made a pattern from yea the new E class but changed it some also. You cant just use vinyl since light will just shine through and it will look cheap. It took a little time but thought it turned out good.

Looks very nice. I like your car a lot, do they make your rims in a 18 or 19"?

FYI, they only thing that looks a bit odd is the eyelid. I like how it is thinner, but being separated makes it look a bit weird at night. Perhaps it would look better if the portions closer to the grille were completely covered and the eyelids were only on the outside of the main headlight? Either way its your choice and will look great. I love the s-class look from your rear taillights as well! All you need now is gullwing doors and you have an all-in one mercedes! haha

Thanks, didnt think about that but might have to be in the works now.lol The wheels are not available in 19's with the high offets you need. There are 19's but at a mid offets so this will not work as well as the 20"s actually. There are several other options in those sizes just alot of them are played out already.imo

The headlights are not effected at all at night. It dosent cut any of the low beam out but high beams are just cut across slightly but at the same time I dont think I have ever use my high beams here either. I will post up some pics tonight with the headlights on also.

Looks pretty good from several steps back but when you get a bit closer(blown up pic) it looks a little tacked on. It is a great styling idea...maybe a vendor will start making E Class style replacement lights for the W204??

Oh for real? It seriously looks like the beam pattern would get cut towards the middle for both projectors. Good stuff then! :P

Its just the way it is sitting. You can see that im backed on a small hill but I am going lower with it cause it does sit higher than I want. Thanks and kind of does look like a 4x4 in that pic.

lol...I know...I guess I was trying to say the idea (and execution.. :-)) is great. Good enough that maybe an aftermarket company may want to think about developing something based on it.
