It still needs some work (mouldings, align exhaust, detail, etc...) but here's the official debut. Taken on the way to my office this morning. Better pics to come next week.

)
Dunlop SP9000 tires 245/35 and 275/30
Auto Couture "Complete Version 2000 looks" body kit (prototype model)
Auto Couture full SS exhaust, cat-back (needs aligning)
Auto Couture custom floor mats
Renntech custom 3 pc decklid spoiler from Brumos Renntech (thanks Randy aka renncpe!!!!)
2000+ E55 taillights
European Xenon headlamps from Bekkers (thanks Tony!!!!)
Lots and lots of fender work

That is one sweet azz ride! Great work!
lee2375, Can you post or email me the procedure/difficulty of swapping/adding that Bekkers Xenon kit. They are the same OEM Hella units. Are they really "plug and play" or more like "plug and plug and plug and then play"! Thanks.
Does that AC stainless exhaust system consist of what? Rear muffler, front muffler. How is the sound?
With all the fender work do you think it is possible to use:
255/35/19 front
285/30/19 rear

Thanks for the words!
The Bekkers kit is the easiest thing to install.
1. remove old lights
2. bolt in new lights
3. attach plug
That's it!!! They look so much brighter and clearer (the lens, I mean). They are original Hella units from Germany (whole lights). All bulbs are included.
I don't think those tires will fit. Mine BARELY fit, and we pulled the living **** out of the fenders.
Because the exhaust is cat back and full stainless, it sounds awesome. Not very loud, but DEEP. Front and rear mufflers, middle resonator, and 3" duual piping all the way back. Now all i need is shorter hangers.

Very nice, what suspension have you used? The rear is sitting just right!
I read the review in the July edition of European Car on Auto Couture kit, which they said was very reasonably priced.
The wheels you have used are much nicer than the chromed five spokes that are usually shown IMO.

The kits and wheels are less expensive than Lorinser and Brabus, but not by too much. If any one needs this stuff let me know!
