Yeah, I believe it's only offered as factory option on the AMG cars, but apparently people have been purchasing the trim pieces from the dealership for around $600 or so.

As far as I know Night Package is offered from the dealers for non-AMG cars as of recently. I have seen a few regular cars with black trim being sold at local dealerships here in Canada.

Everyone has their own taste. For me. I've always been a custom kind of guy. I can care less if people know it's a 550. The badges take away from a clean body imo. I didn't go straight up black out. I left a bit of chrome to tie it all together.

and also imo no way does a stock e550 look nearly as good as a modded or even slightly modded one. As long as it's done tastefully.

I also did not buy this car to race. I bought for the options and superior quality over a 350. I do however like the power plant. It's peppy for a big car.

Took the e550 to a euro car show/ race day today at Lime Rock raceway in NW CT. Nice having a sick track local to watch super cars race.

Yeah, I have the S7 Edge too, amazing camera and phone...just when I thought my S5 couldn't get any better...

Have you seen the new camera features they added since the 7.0 update?

Just much more photo manipulation/edit options; and the camera interface is smoother and easier to use. Taking screenshots is quicker; taking selfies and getting to camera options is easier/quicker, etc.
