Yeah the first one is what I meant the dark tinted tail lights. I think they would look great on a black E but I'm not sure about a silver one what do you guys think??

I'm really diggin that tinted look....too bad I have the tinted reverse lights already or I'd really go down that route......Alex, I guess he beat you to the idea we had 
Now, you going to do it and tint the blings on your mirror like the CL? Black and white all the way.
Mikey, always a pleasure to see more of your ride. Personally, I liked the Lowneharts more with that kit but that's JM(useless)O and it still looks great with the VI's

i dunno, i like it the way it is ...i think it'll be way too much if i do the tinted tails......it already attracts too much attention...next step is i'm painting the trunk lid black and maybe i'll paint the lorinser roof spolier black or wrap it in carbon fiber?

My wheel guy may be able to help as he deals with a lot of SSR's here in HK but it really depends on how bad you want them cuz they'll be shipping costs if he finds them (then again, the wheel itself may be cheaper than what you would have to pay in the US). If interested let me have the model name or number (or both) and offset (I presume similar to the AMG setting) and I can ask - no harm trying.

Thanks again, Whitey....
I need 2 SSR Integral 9" x 18" to fit M-B W210 (2000-2002)
Lug pattern is 5-112 with offset around ET35. Need proper lug bolts that come with wheels also.
See what you can do.

He used VHT Nite Shades, the same thing I have used before. If you go that dark, maybe the photo is deceiving, usually not very much light will come out. The candy red paint seem to be a better alternative because it may not block as much visable light. The tint or smoke type of paints seem to work just like sunglasses at night.
Incidentally, the finish of the lights on the fake E55 seems to be very dull. I found it to be true because you basically have to fog nite shades on to the light surface. I was able to smooth things out with a clear top coat.
