LIME GREEN AND BLACK!
Blacked out my whip. Door handles, window trim, all emblems, side marker lights, grill, BLACKED OUT.
Inside of headlights taken apart and painted black. Stock stripes in the headlight (previously chrome) are now matching Lambo lime green.
**** looks sick! The painted wanted another day or two with it to do all the finishing touches but I needed the car for last night. I told him I'd bring it back soon with a list of little fixes, touch ups and new mods.
Future ideas... LEDs to replace fog lights, like off the new style S class... If I can find those same style LEDs somewhere.
I'm thinking about taking off the hood emblem and having him fill in the hole since I need to repaint my hood from all these stone chips.

Thanks for all the great comments guys
I was extremely worried about "ricing" the car out, and the lime green isn't everyone's cup of tea
I'm very very very satisfied with the results. My painter is a great guy. He's encouraging cutting my hood Brabus style but from what I read online the water hitting the engine bay messes up sensors in our cars?
Any suggestions on other mods? I don't know if I want to bring green in the interior. I was thinking about the KP logo green in the head rest

Friends suggested lime green ///AMG on a black roof spoiler, but I'm not a huge fan of them
Gonna buy a smoked out license plate cover tomorrow to match the smoked mirrors/fogs/headlights, was thinking I could paint the frame green or repaint the chrome strip we blacked out and do that in green, or the Benz logo on the back... decisions, decisions

Congrats on the work. Even though the color combo is not my "cup of tea", I'm happy to see that you stuck with your gut feeling and finished your project.

I actually called this guy, after a bit of talk I drove over to him and he quoted me on several ideas.. This guy is IMO very serious about his work. Several cars parked outside including a DA integra that looked like it was boosting but I couldnt see the front bumper.
regardless the dude is pretty excited to start working on my car and so am I!
btw I had to mention "a black and green benz" like 4 times cuz his spot is a MISSION to find but made it there! hope u dont mind
