2013 E550 4Matic
Coming From American "Muscle"

Hey all. I just snagged a 2013 E550 4Matic with 73k miles. I'm looking forward to doing a few aesthetic and performance mods - I'm in central Texas so I plan to go to Eurocharged in Round Rock for their TCU and ECU tune, and I've got a theme planned for my exterior and interior. I've got a guy that has done all my custom forged carbon work on old cars, we have some fun stuff planned.
I'm coming from a 2014 V6 Mustang - I was the first in the world to do a fully functional twin turbo kit and daily drive a 600whp+ stock block/trans 3.7 Mustang. Put a lot of work and research into it, ended up going built block and trans big single turbo setup, and I had it for about 8 years before just now moving to the Mercedes.

Enjoy some pictures, and a little peek at the custom forged carbon pattern I created that I dubbed "Volcanic Ash" and a steering wheel for one of my old cars that was a custom project that I think turned out really well.
