Input needed on black side mirrors -spoiler -lower grill
This week im bringing my car in to the shop to paint my grill ,black out tail lights,install led's in license plate and parking lights.
While its there i was thinking about filming my side mirrors, the lower left and right part of my bumper, and my spoiler black like the e63 it looks great from the pics maddic posted in in w212 amg picture thread. Think it would be hard to do with all the cuts? dosen't look to hard and think it will look great. What you guys think?

I'll be honest with you, its not my cup of tea. If it was a honda/Acura, maybe. It just looks too "riced" out. MB's are known for their prestige and elegance. Those pictures doesn't remind me of either(my apology to maddic, no disrespect JMO).
P.S. The spoiler looks to be of carbon fiber and so does the inserts in the front under body spoiler.

That E63 looks to have the satin cashmere white paint job, which looks pretty sick. I too will be blacking out my trim, got the taillights and windows tinted, carbon fiber spoiler etc... I like my cars with the chrome blacked out, just a real sporty look for this classy car. Also, there are a ton of soccer moms who drive E350's where I live and since I have the E550, want to make it look a little different...

I really feel funny about adding more LED's....
the way it was explained to me is that the LED's pull next to nothing,
and your car thinks the bulb is wasted.......when in fact it's just the low watt being used....and it sends an error message to the dashboard......
the guy told me he found a work around for this, but I feel funny about a bunch of
workarounds (especially with electronics) in my expensive car......
changing a grill is one thing.....but screwing with the electronic pulse of the car bothers me...

I live in West Los Angeles which encompasses Beverly Hills, Bel-Air, Santa Monica and around here, the joke is that the E350 is the Beverly Hills taxi, it probably more common than a Honda Accord.

The W212 with little old lady's in them just looks so odd. The cars styling is so relatively aggressive and masculine, it just doesn't make sense. Why can't they all just buy F10 5-Series'?
