Cool The Resurrection of the Beast

Finally picked it up on Thursday. The car was ready Wednesday, but I had a surgical complication so I didn't pick it up. The body work turned out great and the paint looks good, although the down time was a little long. Here're a couple new pics. Waiting for new rims (Maya STM 19") to arrive from Neal.

Frist Pic: (At the very same spot of my sig pic)

Notice that the 40% Huper Optik tint does not really change the color of the glass that much. Just a tad cooler / darker.

Second Pic:


Third Pic:

Right front wheel at Sport II after the car has been lowered through Star Diagnostics. Didn't get that much from the Star lowering, probably about 1cm to 1/2".

Fourth Pic:

Painted side marker lens from Evosport, highly recommended if you don't want to mess with the bulbs dangling inside your car if you replaced the whole rubstrip with the European version impact strip

Fifth Pic:

Thumbs up

That color is awesome. That is one of the best looking E55s I've seen, even better than my Black Opal! Enjoy!

Nope, it was designo mocha black to start with. The wrench monkeys at the stealership knocked off one of the sensors while performing the air pump recall, which later caused my car to lose control. It was a relatively minor collision, nothing structural though.
