I'm subscribing to this thread. I just picked up my 2014 E350 sedan last week. Always love looking for mod ideas. Trying to decide if 18/19/20 wheels. Def doing black though. I have a few mods in the works. For now the only mod I have is my license plate registered to this instead of my old car. Haha.

I haven't had a chance to take any pics of my own - here are the ones from the dealer.

Not sure I want 20s due to ride quality. I don't plan on lower it at all though.

In my opinion lowering it is one of the best mods you an do. It almost always causes people to look at the car twice as they try to figure out what is different from the other e350 they just saw. That said, the ride quality does change.

I lowered mine and put 19's on it. When I park it and walk away I look back and say to myself "Man... I love the way that car looks!"

Whatever you choose to do, enjoy your car.

Still on the fence about that. I was lowered on S techs with 20" Fx35 wheels on my 06 Infiniti M35 for almost 7 years so I might not lower this one. Maybe links later. I was thinking maybe some some black 19's some time after the exhaust work is done.

Just want to have an idea of what other members have done to their white Es and hopefully help other members who may be wondering the same. Ready..go!!!

PS. I haven't got a chance to take pics of mine because of weather. :/ Can't wait till it's sunny to do a little photo shoot!
Hi , I`ve got e550 2010 which I purchased 2 months ago and I`m new to the forum , but I really like how your car looks. Mine is light gray not white, but I think still close enough. I haven't done anything to it yet ,so My question is if you can give more info on where/how did you get/do your side mirrors black, as well as the clear side markers. Also is it a good idea to plastids the front grill and is it durable enough ? thanks !




here is a photo ;]

Thank you and congrats on the new car! So the side mirror housings can be removed. I think there's a video on youtube showing how to do it. Then you can just plastic dip it. Plastidip itself is very durable as long as you have enough coats and clean on a regular basis. As far as the sidemarkers you can find them on eBay for less than $50. I believe there's also video on youtube on how to install them.

You can never go wrong with plastidip as you can retouch, remove, or redo anytime for a few dollars and a couple hours.

what sucks about palstidipping mirrors , is that , it looks cheap on mirrors. (ive seen some vehicles with them painted in black)
like it just dont go there.
id suggest to buy a new used set or have them painted(you can even use that gloss spray http://www.us.autodip.com/do-it-yourself/#buy ) or wrap it with vinyl.
