Hey Cuz...good job with the interior lighting!

AMGTestDriverNJ

Very nice sir. Can't wait for mine to be finished! I believe we are like one of four or five with the full Brabus package on the W211 that I've seen on the boards. BTW, you still interested in letting those CF pillars go?? Would be a great touch with the pano on mine. Let me know. Great pics bro. Would love to see it in person 1 day.

Sik!!

Are you still thinking about the E63 kit? I thought long and hard about the Brabus kit but... just couldn't do it.

Very nice. I've seen a lot of cars on campus with Platinum Motorsports plates on them.

BRABUS_E500

No no on the E63 kit. I'm going to finish this car and move into a AMG ... a bigger Class AMG

BRABUS_E500

They do good work. My plates are HELLA old! I use to sport that one in front before I took it off and had the holes filled in

I like those Platinum plates. I used to sport Exclusive Motors (EM) ones that came off my dad's CL500, it was the dealership we bought the car from. Lol, it was probably the least expensive car there besides the CLS55. Those are my favorite plates will never give them up. Ah, there's a question I would like answered. How hard was it for them to fill the holes? What was required? And can you give a rough number on how much it cost? Thank you. I've been thinking of doing that as well.

I see you have a brabus wood shifter? How hard is it to change the stock one since the leather wraps all around it? I really want a wood shifter like on the new E550's and CLS550's.

IMO, probably the brabus E500 will still get you more looks than even an AMG car. I'm always into sticking out from the crowd, that's why I love my pano roof and the color of my car.

BRABUS_E500

To fill in the holes it was fairly cheap. But I got a 'discount' guess you can say. Most places will charge $150 or so including paint and it should take 1-2 days.

As far as my shift knob I have the BRABUS steering wheel, pedals, shift knob, illuminated door sills at home. I drive my E everyday and they started to show some 'use' so to say.

As far as the AMG I plan on purchasing. Come April I have a family friend that is going to sell his 07 S65 for cheap. Since it already has 54k on the odometer. Its loaded with distronic, parktronic, PANO roof, etc etc etc That will be the ONLY car to replace my E sicne I love the E Class so much.

Ya, I'm gonna try and get a "discount" too since my really close friend's dad owns a body shop. Also, I have like two or three cousins that own body shops. The idiots who put the bumper messed up and there is actually 4 holes instead of 2. 07 S65. Sick!!! I love pano roof on those cars. I wish the CL would come with a pano roof, but I don't think there is enough space for it. Ya, I love the e-class though for practicality purposes. I used to have a 94 S420. Loved the car, but too big for me. The new ones are a lot more sportier, which I like. Didn't like the W220 at all though.

SPNJHockey

Will do, after I get the LEDs done on the plate light (that's to say if I don't burn the car up in the process ;-) )

AMGTestDriverNJ

BTW do you really get away with those euro plates in jersey?!

BRABUS_E500

I would like to know too! I get away with my Platinum plates

SPNJHockey

No way, Bro. That was the first photo I took of the car when it was new. Actually, it was the first time I EVER took a photo of one of my cars.

Decided to get the resistors from SuperIllumination, since the Radio Shack(less) didn't have them at the Rockaway Mall.
Install should be done by the weekend, and I'll let you know how it turned out (well done, or medium rare).

Mackhack

Hey Brabus, can you take another inside picture sitting in the back of your car? I think you car is more illuminated than the 80's KITT from Knight Rider!

Very nicely done though! Respect!

K-A

That does look really illuminated, I dig it. Am I mistaken or besides the dome lights are all those stock lights? My buttons and speedo guages, etc. don't seem that bright but maybe it's the Photo's?

ruffrob

That is one nice ride,and as others have said,the illumination is sick. In your signature picture,your front tire looks almost flat...,but I know it's not.

The camera took some great pictures,anybody can be a pro,as long as they have a great camera and 20/20 vision....

BRABUS_E500

Thanks I will take a much better one tonight. I left the Apeture open for about 4.5 seconds catching every ray of light in the car. It was actually pitch dark outside and my window tint is soo dark it helped conceal the light within the car.

But I have been told by other E Class owners when riding with me that my interior lamps are brighter then theres especially when I turn the settings all the way up. Dash lights etc etc. I honestly have never touched them?!

The lamps you see in the middle of the roof are the Ambient lights. I have a PANORAMIC roof and those mid lights come with the car as part of the package.

I really appreciate the comments guys! Bad or good their are always welcome

Mackhack

Hey Brabus,
