Introducing Myself and My S class
Hello everyone. First I really really wanna thank all of you because without all of your experience and knowledge on this board I really could not have gotten as good as a result fixing up my new car while doing it quickly and efficiently.
Purchased my new used S550 about 3 weeks ago and I couldn't been any happier. It's fully loaded black on black with all the bells and whistles. ABC, Wood Steering, AMG Package, Ventilated seats, sunshades, and all that. The only one thing the the car doesn't have is automatic truck,
Although I can live with that
.
So I finally done all the mods I wanted to do (thanks to you guys for much help) and is now exactly how I like it and wanted it..
Here is what I did
1 Added 22" wheels. Really Really happy with my decision on the design and really love them especially the deep lips (really impressed with the ride as I was expecting a lot worse from what people told me)
2 lowered car using the links
3 Painted the side marker lights.(at first after painting when the light was on it looks little tacky for my taste, so I then took out the light bulb, After doing that I was getting the a message on dash telling me that side marker light is out, then I put back the bulbs and detached the light socket out of the lens and mounted inside the front bumper where you can't see any light from that bulb any more, I think it look great now).
4 Tinted windows
5 Finally added the rear wing.
Now I'm just enjoying my ride
Here are some pics,(Not the best place to take pics and car is dirty but still came out good)
Thank you all very much again

Congrats...looks very nice. Enjoy your car.
P.S. I hope you are not in NY metro area. Nice wheels, but in NY you'd be a permanent customer of a nearest tire shop..sometimes even twice per day

If You live in the tri-state area i think 17z are the best option to go with. I have the S63 wheels on my car and i can no longer count how many times i bent them
