I used this:
http://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommerc...09&prmenbr=361

Looks WAY better in person then in the pictures I took...Ill take more when it's clear....

I debagged my car and put E55 AMG...Some people wont like that, but you know me...I dont care hehe

Yes my car is still **** green...It never got painted while I was gone (not happy)....Instead I come back to a car that is SCREWED up...Everytime I drive and stop at a red light my car dies....It's also running hot so I cant use my air....The car goes in the shop Wednesday to get fixed....I have a feeling this will not be cheap

Good job! That stuff looks like its what u'd been looking for all along (except, seems it won't work on the headlamps....). But does the natural red really appear when the lights are on?

Hope ur ride gets fixed soon. Good luck.

put some clear coat on. After not too long that tint job will look flat. Not very glossy.

This stuff wont chip or flake away...I read alot about this stuff before doing it...In the picture it looks very flat but its actually shinny in person...The pictures just dont show you what it really looks like

Just a thought Benz, why not paint or get some matt black badges (AMG etc.) to go along with your theme?

Benz, If you are going to be a poser and pretend to be an E55 at least get a AMG dual tipped exhaust, AMG body kit and monoblock wheels, etc.

How about better alignment of the badges?

Benz- I did the same thing a few years back to a '94 540i, I would still put a clear coat over you NiteShades paint. After exposure to the sun and normal washing, the NiteShades paint will progressively get lighter. The clear paint prevents this.

Before I got my smoked E55 lights, I went all "red".

Here is a pic.

Hank..Get better glasses cause they are lined up perfect ( I made sure)

E55 Kev...I know you dont like that I did a E55 AMG badging cause you have a real AMG...But I like what I did and I'm happy with it...Most people who post in the W210 non-amg section know me and they know im very diff and i try many things....So if you dont like what I did...Please keep the bad comments to yourself....Not trying to bash on ya or saying your trying to start something..Im just sayin i dont want flames to start in my thread I started...I have a E420 with E55 badges and I'm proud I have the matching AMG interior that should count for something lol.

Common Kev, easy on BENZ

Benz, Lights look much better since you have posted a clear picture.

Kev is PART right about the exhaust, but if you dont have it, I guess it doesnt matter.

Benz, how fast is your car without the exhaust, did you defeat ASR?

I think that you are still missing a few pieces to complete the dash.

Are you still going to get it painted? Put a body kit on first and then rebadge it after it is all done.

Benz, your car is nice and I like it and any car that the owner shows pride. It is obvious that you love your ride. You probably have many upgrade plans in the works and adding the AMG badge on the right is cool once a person adds some AMG stuff (other than the badge). However, many think it is phoney to rebadge a car to something it is not while people snicker behind their backs (eventhough you don't care if they do).

Adding E55 to a car is akin to a bald guy getting hair plugs or wearing a toupee and he thinks no one knows he is bald.

Keep up the good work because you are truly innovative for doing the mods that you have done - but adding E55 to your car is not a mod.
