Actually the previous owner had the eurocharger exhaust system installed last year. The weird part is the exhaust only had placements for a single tip.. so.. he welded the other tip to the existing tip to keep the dual exhaust tip look but actually runs through the outside tip only. It sounds amazing but looks funny. Going to paint black paint in both tips to keep an even look until I can get a full custom exhaust done last this year. Have too many other projects with the car right now to worry about the exhaust.

Those matte black rims are this shizzle!. If my car was any other color than black I would do matte wheels. 4 sure. But I have to stick to silver..my thought is to polish my rims (as opposed to painted) and a clear coat with the AMG inset in black. As far as I know nobody has actually polished the cls550 AMG rims.. I see black and white..silver and chrome..but no polished. This may be my direction.

its rubbing a lil but not as much.
And as you know with H&R, the rear lowers more than the front as shown in this photo.

Very NICE!. I was considering mrr's but my son talked me into keeping the AMGs. He said "amg rims were engineered for mercedes Dad..any aftermarket rim will not be as balanced"..he's right and now we're going to have em stripped (bead blasted) polished (cuz I've NEVER seen polished AMG rims like these) and clearcoated. Not painted silver but polished aluminum..not chrome.

Which rims/tires, and what you do with them, chrome, matt, painted, bead blasted and polished etc. is really a matter of personal choice.

Noooooo way you got an E63??? Badass! 
You deserve it man, I really want to go to either an E63 AMG or CLS55 AMG for my next car. What a sexy machine, and in black again too.

thank you, thank you my friend. I think you will like the 63, its very drivable around city. I even got around 400 miles on a tank when I was transporting it from Chicago. But from the research I did, the 55 blower engines are barbaric in a good way, a lot more trq on low rpm and way more modder friendly.
