That is BADASS!!! sweet AMG man love the wheels...are they HRE's?
Some questions I have:
1) Where did you get those headlights from? ( They dont look OEM b/c they are clear like the 03's and up.
2) What did you paint your badges with? Im planning onto just using the Touchup paint kit and painting the emblems myself.
3) A suggestion: I think if you used 3M Smoked film on your taillights it would look sweet and complete the look of the rear.
Once again man...Sweet ride!!

4 wheeled car.
www.dubfestusa.com It's a VW/Audi car show. I was there to support my friend and his Audi A4.
Thanks Ricky :P
1 The headlights are DEPO headlights. There are a few different brands out there but all are pretty much the same, though some swear DEPO is the best. I don't know where to find DEPO's but Zam2000 does.
2 I painted the E55 after sanding it down a bit w/ primer and then glossy paint. The star was done by the bodyshop, and the AMG was purchased on ebay as is (black plastic).
3. I wanted to make the red part darker, but not smoked dark like the black part on top. What's that 3m thing you mentioned?
Thanks Ricky :P

The 3M film im talkin about is the same stuff that is used for Clear Bras except its much thicker and made for headlights/tailights. They offer Smoked, Clear, Light carolina blue, and yellow. My tint guy had this stuff, ask Tint guys and people who install clear bras...they should have it.

Dubfest...must be a Volkswagon get to together? Two guys at my work have tricked up Jetta's and they wear shirts that say Dibs on Dubs, and Dubs Hate Honda's etc.
The monochrome look is a nice on a lowered black car. Where do you get that rear window visor?

It's a beauty Mike. Thank you for coming to visit! You are my special "neutral" friend. LMAO I don't know what you did to Carmen's friend but she still can't walk. I heard you are quite the man. I think you have James beat on the looks, but he has us beat hands down on the engine mods.
Keep up the good work on the car! I will post my new makeover pics this afternoon.
MUAH
