Wow, what a difference the new wheels make....no contest. That's one sick-looking E not to mention it's stealthy as heck. Very well done.
For some reasons, 18's on the W212 look really puny.

I'm usually not into the "Murdered Out" look at all, but I've seen some W212's with that look and due to the nasty-aggressive and downright mean look that the design has in it, it looks SWEET. Just like this one here! Looks amazing.

I've been thinking about a diffuser...I think that will be next. I have a trunk spoiler coming from JBSpeed. I had the grill and chrome trim painted. I cf'd the highbeams and eyelids. The rest is tint. It rides a little rougher (not as much as I expected), but well worth it.
I think I have a obsessive compulsive disorder for shiny black objects! I probably should seek help....

Sick. If I had gotten black, I would have gone for a very similar look. Love the blacked out lights in front as well.

The ones I've seen range from $500 to $1,700 (Vorsteiner of course). I'm thinking of painting mine gloss black first to see how it looks. I haven't seen one that looks right to me either. I also need to look into HID's since I've tinted my headlights...

what size tires are you running, do the tinted headlights mess up any light output at night ?
Great job !!!!

Thx, or wrap it matte white. That would look good with all your gloss black trim and wheels.

Would like a nice CF diffuser too but I think there is only one kind on the market.

Tires are 245/30/20 in front and 265/30/20 in rear (Conti DWS). I thought I needed to go 275's back, but my local shop owner said to stick with 265's. The headlights are slightly affected, but I plan to put HID's (6k) on in the coming weeks.

You mean you used CF wrap on the eyelids and parking lights (the inner eyes) I assume? You have a picture of that from up-close? If that is the case, and you completely wrapped over/blocked the light out from the inner eye/parking lights, along with that tint hampering lots of light output, and no HID's on top of it (I've heard that even light Tint blocks out a lot of HID output on the headlights, which is why I didn't go with it, as a light clean tint can look good IMO), be careful!

Here are a few I just took - a little bright outside. The HID's should be good enough. Better than the current lights with the tint. It's not bad, but since I CF'd the highbeams, I figure I should add HID's to be safe...

Lol, damn dude, I'll bet you're on extra alert at night, you've also blocked out all traces of your blinkers.

FYI the inner lights you CF'd aren't the high beams, they're the parking lights. Thanks for the pics. Car looks super sinister and dangerous.... literally, lol.

When I hit the high beams, no impact, I can see a little glimmer from the the lights I covered (parking lights) - just assumed they were the high beams. If the HID's don't add more light, I'll probably just remove the headlight tint. What's the use in adding these mods if I can't drive it at night!! LOL...good thing the fog lights are bright!
