some pics of my MODDED 05. First pics ever

Yay. Its not terribly modded, but it looks pretty good to me. Stands out in a crowd, yet underestimated. Just like I like it!!! Let me know what you guys think.

BTW, the mods are

Star Diagnostics + 2 Front Washers lowered (did tonight)
Smoked Tail Lamps and3rd brake light
AMG 3 Piece Rear Spoiler
Silver Sidemarkers (did tonight)
19x8/9 WedSport Bavaria II Wheels
245/275 Kumho Tires
de-badged (did tonight)
blacked exhaust pipes (did tonight)

coming soon to a street near you:

RENNTech Pulley/ECU
Carbon Front Lip
Carbon Rear Diffuser
Lorinser Roof Spoiler
resonators go bye bye!

WHATDYA THINK??????



BEFORE front washers.(plus you can tell how dark the lights are)

before the debadging



debadged and dark


hard at work

I think it looks OK...... but if you tint the tail lights you should tint the windows, esp. on a silver car.

Let's see some larger pictures in the light of day.

Remember if you like it, thats all that really counts!

Your car looks very nice, post some pictures in the sunlight

FYI - AMG does not make a 3 piece spoiler

I like all the mods except the debadging and the paint job on the side markers.
You need an opaquer to block out the light from the bulb or get a clear lens.

Nice work.

First guy I have ever seen that showed his plate numbers. How come everyone is so paranoid showing them. Can you really find that much info off them. Didn't want some whacko to show up at your house middle of the night Rocko. (Psycho music here)

NICE PICS!!!

It is a MB spoiler for the E series, you will not be able to get an AMG spoiler until the E63 starts shipping and it will be a 1 piece that fits only the trunk lid.

'03 G500, '13 G63, '17 GLS63,
19x9 in the rear? While you're upgrading, why not just g 10-11" wide on the rears to get more rubber down?

they didnt make the wedsports in that size or I would have.I dont mind them being 9's because I really wont have the car for more than 2 or 3 more months. Plus, the wheels were a great deal so I couldnt turn them down.


AMG/Mercedes....same thing. I dont really think it matters but then I guess it isnt an AMG spoiler, but a MB spoiler


Oh, we are a Porsche dealer, so that is why it is a Porsche plate!

Why are you doing all of this work if you are getting rid of it so soon? What are you looking at getting next?

well, I normally mod cars up pretty good, then sell them. I do it for my business, and do it for free, so why not!

Next I have an ML63 on order, but I really want to back out and do a 997TT. We will see I guess!

I wanna know the same thing, the side markers only take about 2 seconds to take off.

i painted the sidemarkers on the car because I was actually sitting there having a conversation with some buddies, and I didnt even realize that I was taping with painters tape around my side lenses. I really just had the tape in my hands and wasnt thinking about it, just doing it...so when all was said and done with the left fog light, I said screw it, I'll do both and just spray them. Figured it would be a challenge .


What are the few things on my car that dont make sense?
