Nice, clean, white looks good with those wheels. Have you thought about changing those side orange markers to white too??

E420
Question???

The car look great. How do you take off the rear E320 logo?

Side markers

Definitely get the side markers changed to anything else but that hideous yellow/orange. I bought some paint from a shop down in LA and changed mine to silver.. but I may invest in the markers sold by evosport. Definitely get white for your car.. simple upgrade that makes a good deal of difference. I saw some clear markers being sold on Ebay too. Not sure how well they fit though.

Nice

Nice ride, dude! I agree with dumping the yellow front side marker lens. Getting ready to do that myself. Would look good lowered a bit, too.

I also removed my E430 badge from rear. Heat it up a bit in sun or with hair dryer, use dental floss carefully to separate emblem/adhesive from trunk lid. Clean up with WD40 or some type of paint-safe adhesive remover. Hit it with some good wax.

how big of a drop did you do??springs and shocks?.. i dont really want the fenders to sit on the tires.. just make the gap even all the way around.. only looks like it should be 1" or so...

to remove the badging, i find fishing wire works better than dental floss. it won't snap.

H&R springs will do the job nicely.

Wrecked,

The Eibachs dropped the front and rear a little over an inch. The one bump pads took the front down another quarter inch or so. However, when I changed the shocks, the ride height increased almost 1/2"
