You should do the facelift mirrors. it will compliment the facelift bodykit very nicely.

I've never been a huge fan of lowered vehicles personally, but yours looks nice.

I agree with Just1time, next steps would be facelift mirrors and facelift headlights and you'll be in good shape.

Congrats and welcome to the forums

Thanks guys, yea I thought about refinishing the wheels, brushed aluminum centers with polished lip. As far as the headlights, it's too much of a rip off for the conversion in my opinion. Maybe if it ever reduces in price in the near future. The side mirror upgrade, did you guys see it on eBay as well for about $130 shipped?

Something about a white W221 is just pure sex!

Looks goods and ditto on refinishing the wheels. I think it would add a bit of contrast so we can appreciate that ginormous lip you have in the rear.

That price isn't bad with tires if the rims are real not replica.

Will have to post some pictures for us when you change the finish!
