Also on the Mirrors I didn't just mean the housing, I heard you also have to replace the actual mirrors themselves to make the swap possible?? Is this not true??
I have done all the cosmetic 03-upgrades that you have + full 03-up OEM AMG body kit, and just got the new Bi-xenon's installed about a weeek and a half ago, except for the mirrors, and the SuperCharger+SL55 air/box, I'm going to go w/H-P-S I'd go w/Kleemann but I've allready dumped way to much$$ on my 01 S 500..
Have you got any
performance #'s w/blower ie-0-60, 1/4 mile times???? Thanks Sean......your car looks excellent....

This isnt my car, its for sale at my work. I photograph the cars and put them on ebay and autotrader so I thought I would share some pics I took today cause they are pretty good. This car is an 02 S55 Lorinser. I think the engine was modified or whatever by renntech given the carbonfiber cover.
By far my favorite photo I have taken out of thousands so far
Ohhh sexy xenons
I dont post on here much anymore so I thought it would be fun to post some pics that I take as a job haha.

hahahha! no they're not undercarriage lights. they're LEDs that only lights up when the doors open. they're hooked up to the interior lights. so when the interior lights come on, they would too. i think it's the same concept as the brabus LED side skirts.

Here's my 2002 S430. Just bought it a few months ago. It isn't anything special.....yet. When I bought it I was going to keep it pretty much stock, but then I started to go on these forums and that totally changed my mind. You guys got me addicted, now I'm on a mission to build the perfect S-Class!!!

The toyo tr1's have a more rounded tract which makes the side wall apprear smaller. but they do not rub. I have not seen many benz's on 20's sit as low as mine does so perhaps that is why it looks that way to you but I assure you I had to mod the fenders alot to get the look.. In my opinion I would run 19's if I could not get the low profile look... I see many benz's in The OC where I live with 20's and not even lowered and they look like they are riding on stilts (lol) ....just awful...... Low and Wide is the hot look an the W220'S in my opinion. Thanks

I to would get 20"s but I don't like how it kills the off of the line acceleration...I'm looking into CCW 19"s low and wide can you tell me more about exactly what I might have to do to my fenders to get your wide tire wheel combo to fit? I know about the traditional fender rolling but what else was involved??thanks great looking ride BTW ps..I re-read your post...So it's the toyo tr1's that give that effect like Mae wheels....I love that...but how do they ride I've had problems w/viberation at highway speeds wheen using other brands besides Michelin pilots...Please ttel me how your toyos handle??thanks...
