HID in the fogs, pictures don't do it justice (damn camera phone), looks really nice in person.


Crappy quality pic but looks cool:

Looks great!! Is it that blue in real life? Any check lamp problems? I mean both the head ligths and the fogs.

Looks awesome! Really makes me wish my car came with it's foglights. You should smoke your side marker lights or get the clear ones. Picture with all lights on?

Looks ok.

Can you give us the details on the HID's (make, model, price, part #'s, etc..)?

It is blue in real life, I have no check lamp errors using slim digital HID ballasts that have built in error cancellers, our fogs use H3 bulbs.

Greg: Clear corners are coming, my camera does not capture light too well, headlights look all flooded when on, but i'll get a better camera and post some pics.

AMS: They are 20" Monoblocks

according to your profile you have a 2001 E55. It should have come with
OEM foglights. All you need to do is do the same as 888

20" monoblocks ?! I don't even want to imagine the amount of rotational mass that is.... you could probably pickup 10-15HP on the dyno just by going back to stock wheels . With that said, they do look amazing.

Haha, yeah im aware of the performance loss with the 20's, its quite noticable on launches and get more of that "dead pedal" sometimes but I ordered the sprintbooster, hopefully it will help that issue. They do look good though.

Nice, post some pics.

Greg: here is the link to the SB's http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123

just mention your model and that you want the AMG version, its the cheapest price out there, $260us shipped for a new one. most vendors are charging 300+ shipping and thats from hong kong or wherever else.

Looks tight, I know you stated that you didn't want to change out the springs/shocks but consider the #1 spring pads that should lower it enough to give it the dropped look

I would give you mine but I promised Leerod he could have them- Just swapped back to #3 pretty big difference imo

big difference eh? im still trying to figure out if I should just swap the pads or cut the springs because I don't want it to drop too little or no difference with the pads and waste $300 on labour..

See, that's what I was thinking. Maybe not "Authentic" but, definitely different!
