Yesterday I installed Morimoto HID kit, white side markers on front bumpers and carbon fiber trunk spoiler.
HID kit was fairly simple to install but still took a while. Side markers were easily accessed with the fender liner being off. Rear spoiler did not have a good fit. I had to ( carefully ) grind some parts of it in order to make it lay more flush, and still it wasn't perfect but much better than originally and OK for now. If some of the gaps on the sides bother me too much, I might just pull it off.... well see.

Since the carbon fiber lip did not fit perfectly and I had to modify it in order to get it to lay flush. It's still had gaps on its ends so I found a way to take care of that. I purchased black silicone caulking that's used in bathrooms (cracking, water and fade resistant). I taped around the perimeter of the lip on the trunk lid and the spoiler itself leaving just the gap that needs to be filled. I then filled the gap with the caulking cleaned it up and removed the tape for a clean finish.
I also installed original AMG badge on the trunk lid. I'm not trying to claim or fool anyone that this is E63 AMG, but since my car has the sports package and the wheels do you say AMG on them I thought this would be a nice touch. I left E550 badge on the car as well.

ohh man ....Get ready for the AMG poser police!!! lol All you need is that E550 badge IMO! Anybody that pays attention to badges would know you're running a V8.
lol I was afraid of that, but whatever.... I just like how it looks. Like I said, Im not claiming its an AMG, just thought it would be a nice touch since it has the sport package, etc...
Thank you PAMIBOY
It did not bother me much, I know it looks clean and I like it
Couple more things arrived in the mail today that I might install sometime this week.

It's your car you do what you want.
As you said the AMG badge on your car represents that you have the sports sedan that came with AMG wheels etc and nothing more.
If you removed the E550 badge and were falsely advertising you had an E63 built by AMG that would be a different story.
Let them take the tears to the grave
I think your car looks great. I particularly like the exterior color, the spoiler and the chrome seat buttons for the door.
