My E55 Had A Blackout...
After a couple of weeks of hard work and some stress I finally got it all back together 
I also had the front bumper repainted and holes filled where the plate was. I also added H7 HID lights and clear corners. I also had Xpel installed on the hood, fenders and mirrors and will have them come back once the bumper cures.
Just waiting on my 20" wheels with black centers and polished lip and tinted glass.

Very nice. details details details, especially on getting the chrome off the doors, etc. I will eventually go with the black out look. How is the grill painted? any clear coat? Is it gonna chip or dunno yet?

Ditch the black star, go for flat hood emblem. Otherwise very, very cool mod
When you see the car on its own it probably doesn't immediately ring a bell what has changed, just look a bit sinister.

On the emblems... before you remove any of them please mark the location with tape and mark each letter so they will be reinstalled in the right place. I used a heat gun to remove them. Each letter will have to be cleaned and re-taped big pain in the butt.
I used Fusion glossy black and sanded each piece with 220 sand paper.
On the grill, Fusion doesn't require clear coat, but I install Xpel on the grille and front bumper strips.

I want an "E SS" like you did before you rebadged.
HA HA, Just jackin with you. Beautiful job, looks way more complicated for me to do. I once had that much extra energy but that's way in the past. I'll just live vicariously.
