Would look so much better if you removed the tint from the headlights and instead took them apart and painted them black. The tint on the headlights really doesnt look good imho. Everything else looks great.
Look how much better it looks when you paint vs tint: https://mbworld.org/forums/attachmen...00807-1132.jpg

But they roll the fenders 2 ways.
1. Using a machine that bolts onto where the wheel goes and rolling fenders.
2. Using a hammer to pretty much just pound on the fender to roll it up.
Both are used in conjunction with a heating gun that heats up the fender/paint a bit to eliminate the cracking of paint.
Can't remember where I got my fenders rolled on my W211, but it was someplace near Los Angeles using method # 2. Rolled the fenders because of a slight rubbing issue w/ new shoes/drop.
You can ask Edison of HMS in Westminster CA and he can aim you in the right direction.

BTW i like your s550 better i'm not a big fan of body kits on an s550 because an s550 should keep that classy look instead of that ricey look. are you planning to get a body kit also?

anyone got an s550 like whiteonwhite's but black?
i'm still debating on getting a black or white one and whether to get 07 right now or wait until the 2010 or 2011 s550's drop to 50-60k.
