MY E350 PROJECT
Hey Everyone, I'm close to having my car paid off finally and starting to do some mods here and there. I've already installed the carbon e63 godhand lip from GaryLo over at SUVNEER. And testing a retrofit for his DRL's soon, as well as getting the carbon high kick spoiler and diffuser for myself next payday. I'm running Miro 111 19x9 et35 front and 19x10.5 et38 rear on 255/35/19 & 295/30/19 Michelin Pilot Super Sports.
This weekend I lowered the car on eibach pro lowering springs and plan on doing all of the ball joints with the comprehensive kit from FCP before the snow comes, starting to develop some squeaking.
Hopefully picking up a set of E55 calipers and rotors along with the quad tips from a wrecked donor car this weekend if the guy gets back to me.
I WILL NOT BE putting any AMG badges on my car or anything like that, I just really want it to look better than it does to me.
I've also started a youtube channel for the build, link below, and will be making videos and tutorials of mods if you guys need them or have any requests.

DanQ -- I didn't have to mod it no, but there is a 1in section where the fins at the bottom of the bumper don't really sit against the center lip. But it's not noticeable and honestly it looks like they're supposed to be there for airflow when looked at from the front. I secured it with 3m tape to line up and then 15 self tapping screws. It's been on there for almost a year with no issue and my bumper feels alot more sturdy with it on and no flex at all.
Definitely worth it. And Gary's packing/shipping is impeccable.

@scotty68 the ride is a little more stiff but no noticeable difference in ride quality as far as it being harsh or anything. I did have to go down from my 295 to 275 rear's to get rid of the rubbing though.
Thanks @2MERKS and @OnlyGerman i appreciate it!

Car was in a little fender bender (not at fault) so she will be back together this week with some new goodies from Gary over at SUVNEER. I'm test fitting his new carbon led DRL's into the sport bumper. Will post pics and videos as it progresses. Also rear high kick carbon spoiler and switching up the tire size. Was rubbing with the 295's out back
