What do you think of my E550 Cabrio??


Thanks to this forum, I learned and did a few mods to my E550 Cabrio and I love it. I wanted to know what you think so far and what you recommend to improve it even more! I would love to gain more HP and torque and would appreciate advice.
Also, I already have a lip and a rear diffuser on my to do list but haven't found the correct fittment yet, but hopefully will soon!!

I have never been able to understand why one darkens their taillights when doing so reduces being seen. And then there are those who darken the headlights, too. Can anyone explain?

Looks great. Can you post a pic of the front with your new grille? Also, what did you use to black out the chrome and where did you get the black rear emblem? THANKS

I appreciate the compliment guys! I really like the way this car turned out too and am loving driving it. I'm still looking for a non CF diffuser and lip for it so please let me know of a distributor.
I will post pics of the front and more angles in a of couple days.

For chrome blackout, I took it to a body shop, they removed all the chrome from the car, scuffed it, applied a special primer, then painted it. So far, so good!

Thank you again.

What are your tire sizes? Front 245/35/19 and Rear 285/30/19?? Any rubbing issues at all with the rear? Where did you get the Renn wheels (RS-51)?

Black rims just don't do it for me, everything else looks nice though, the darker lights actually look nice on this model.
