Some new pics to share...

I just installed a Carlsson decklid spoiler and new grill, so I thought it would be nice to snap a couple quick pics in the parking lot today. It is gloomy out, so consquently the pics aren't that good.

Like the spoiler, but don't like the grill. Your car looks amazing as always Josh. Always makes me wish I got 20's.

Ya... I'm with you guys... the grill doesn't look as nice as I though it would. The OEM grill is at the body shop being painted right now and will be ready Friday. This was just my temporary grill so I could still drive the BEAST!

Painted? Black chrome?

A black chrome grill without the star would make your E friggin perfect.

Glad to hear it. I need to get my grill painted too. Can't decide if i should color match it to the car or just paint it black. Black chrome would be nice too.

Car looks good Josh.

Spoiler completes the rear end. I agree with everyone else regarding the star on the grille.

Thumzup!

Josh, as others have said, one of the nicest looking cars on the board. I REALLY dig the black badging WAY cool. I just ordered a blackout grill and an E63 decklid spoiler. As soon as they are installed, I will snap a couple pics and post. BTW, with a K3 that looks that good, GET THE BOOBIES!

Josh, looks awesome!!!!!

I agree that you need to lose to the front grill. I also think you need to lose the European plate, unless you're planning to move to Germany soon.

The Euro plate is only there because I have holes in my bumper from the previous owner (I guess in New York it is a law to have a front plate), so my options are:

1) get it fixed (this means a week or so without my car, which is very hard for me to do)
2) use a nevada plate (NOPE)
3) leave the holes exposed (NOPE)
4) use the euro plate

It is looking sweet. That fin looks mighty aggressive. Are there different models? How does it compare to the E63? i like it and the rims And the emblems!!

Oh yeah, another option is to use silver plugs in the holes. i've done it before and it is less loud as a plate.

Not sure if there are different models. The E63 spoiler isn't agressive enough for my tastes, so I went with this one. It looks amazing IMO, even better in person. One thing it's not is cheap... this puppy will put you back 700 smackeroos.

your car sits perfect, i love it! the grill looks funny cuzz its black i think if it was silver to match the car it would look nice.it wouldnt stand out so much (maybe paint the star black and grill silver)thats just my opinion.

I actually bought the grill because it's black I was thinking about painting the star black as well, but I'm probably just going to lose it all together.

About the drop, thanks! I finally settled on a height that is comfortable and looks great just a few weeks ago and about 5-6 hours of tweaking/adjustments.

you already have the grill get it painted silver and star black. it might look good. or you could get a rattle can and do it your self just to see if you like it.

Nice!!! I know you already get the point, but take that grill off ASAP! I would drive without a grill in the meantime.

I'm with everyone, the grille is hideous. Your car looks great, but that grille needs to go.
