Just picked up my new wheels, 19" Vossen 084. Car is lowered on Eibach springs, but the rear needs to come down about a 1/2 inch to look right. What do you guys think?

very nice. Personally, I like to have the front lower than the back. You car stands neutral with the Eibach springs, the coupe lines make it look sitting higher in the back, it looks more agressive this way. Can you post a picture from the back?

From the rear

looks really good my friend, it just sucks the E350 coupe doesnt have the AMG bodykit option only the E550

jdmstuff

You're right, I would have preferred the AMG kit on my car, piecing it together from MB would cost me more than going for the 550 in the first place.

how much did you lower it?

jdmstuff

I used a set of eibach springs to lower the car about an inch all around.

Nice job! the wheels really bring out the lines of the car. You should look into smoking out your lights, it really finishes the car. If I were you I would smoke out your tail lights, turn signals on mirrors and the side markers. I did this on my E500 and it compliments the design of the car perfectly. I also smoked out my fog lights but I dont know if it would work as well with the LED bars.

Little OT on the thread sorry..

Did you do use the Lens painter spray or did you have it professionally done? I plan doing this in the next week or so.

Any issues with the law yet ?

Thanks

I just used tail light tinting film. It is the same concept as window tints but it is a thinker film. Same application process. It is much cheaper than painting the light itself and it can be taken off at any time. I got it done professionally for $90 including the 3rd brake light bar. I got some extra film from the shop that did my tail lights and used it to smoke my fog lights, turn signals and side markers myself (its pretty easy for smaller lights). For painting the actual lights i was looking at $250-300. One downside to the film is that under direct sunlight some red comes through. this is rare tho, i have been overall happy with it. The picture attached is an example of direct sunlight. 95% of the time it looks completely black. I have had no problems with the police. I live in Washington state and they are supposedly one of the stricter states on window tint. California was no problem either. All my friends get pulled over for their window tint but I have never been and I have had my tints as is since 2007. I think they just dont like messing with nicer cars to be honest. Especially since I have 5% tint all around and 20% on my entire windshield, very illegal. But my friends driving jeeps, hondas, ect get pulled over for 20% tints and no tint on the windshield. I have never heard of anyone getting pulled over for tail light tints, Im pretty sure its legal. I would highly recommend tinting your windshield, it is my favorite tint on my car. It looks great. I got 20% but if you are worried about getting pulled over get 35%. I attached a pic of the windshield tint too. Send me some pics of you car when you get the tints!

Looks good!

Thanks for the comments guys! The car is lowered on stock shocks. The ride quality is nearly identical to stock with no rubbing issues.

@Vossen, I have a few higher res pics if you want to use them. PM me.
