I do like the LED DRLs (to which I am converting to myself next week) but I am not
too keen on the extra skin of the Renown Auto Style wide-body hanging out...

Just the DRLs from new S550 and modifying / custom making the black inserts.
The bumper remains the same. If there are no complications or unforeseen challenges
all is scheduled to be completed next WED.
