Is that an E55? Those don't look like smoked rear taillights. Maybe its just the picture. I'd make sure to get tint and smoked/clear front bumper lights. Other than that, lookin good. Body kits don't usually work in my opinion.

How's that possible that that is an E55 when the tail lights aren't smoked? Should be standard on that E55.

You need to pull in that side by side shotgun...errr I mean exhaust pipes. They look to be sticking out really far or maybe its just the angle of the pics.

I know 2001 and above E55's had smoked tailights but what about before?

I know about the the exhaust, Remus comes standard like that and I understand why. The tips get quite hot and the purpose is to keep as much heat away as possible from the rear bumper. I had dual and it's too much weight, plus I love the Remus sound...

First of all, no matter what this guy says, the remus is not suppose to stick out that much. Burning the bumper is a poor excuse. The stock does not burn and looks like its 6 feet closer to the bumper. I'd peronally have it closer to the bumper to prevent a law suit from someone tripping on them walking behind the car!

Pretty good, I'll take that joke. It looks was too far out in the pics, you're right, in reality it cuts off exactly as far as the rear bumper extends--the picture is deceiving, neways was I thinking of LEDs, anyone have them, what do think of them?

that car is not an E55... Note the sport badge on the front fenders. That only comes on the E320 and E430 sport package cars.

Still a nice car being that the W210 is a timeless shape. But yes the exhaust could sit a bit more inboard. Looks kind of funny.

Leave the lights alone, bring the exhaust in about 6in and lower the car about 2.5in and you will be fine.

Agree w/ CynCarvin... It's NOT E55.

Clear tail-lights, sport badge and the rear bumper, right above the exhaust... E55's should curve up following the exhaust shape, while E430/E320 sport is straight just like OP's picture. Of course, OP could change all that.... but who would do that, especially w/ the bumper? Worse bumper IMO.

And if I concentrate enough, I could see the engine doesn't have AMG cover...

Maybe the exhaust has a hard on!

I agree with the others. It is a poser and not an E55 AMG. Plus, the b-pillers are black and a real E55 has fake carbon fiber. Remus does not make an E55 muffler and the tech that put those on probably cut the pipes in the wrong spot causing the ill fit. Also looks like a homemade cutout for the pipes.

Maybe the exhaust has a hard on!

Nice try TASHO, NOT! OK - you get 1 point for the trunk lip spoiler.
