Wheels look good The grille isn't my style but different strokes for different folks

I really like the wheels and car.
I wonder what the grill would look like with a blacked out star?

Really nice!

Thanks everyone! I didn't know which grill would look better, the flat black one or this one, but I decided to give this one a try as most people go for the other one and I wanted something different... Haven't though about blacking out the star. I got a couple more things on the way, the PIAA 186 Xtreme Whites to get rid of the yellowy parking lights and some clear bumper lights... Do you think I should smoke out the taillights?

Thanks again!

I believe the offset is 32MM front and 38MM back.... I like the quality and the look, and the price was good. Plus, they are a German brand, so it goes well with a car...

I don't like the grille either... it just doesn't look right on the E-class.

the video sounds kinda messy to me.. cant exactly tell what sound is coming from the car, and what sound it coming from whatever else, im deleting my cats soon too.. wha setup did u do? 2nd cat replaced with straight pipe, and x-piped resonators? or all straight pipe?

Murtaza

Sounds mean!

Add another vote against the grill though.

I like the grill, if you like the grill, that's all that matters.

Have the star plated with black chrome, I've seen it done on black grills, it looks great. I have seen painted grills with the painted star and it just gives me the impression that whomever painted it was too lazy to mask it off...just my opinion. The black chrome, still allows for the black stealth look, but the star just pops a little more.

If you are interested in the black chrome, you should be able to call a local car dealership and get a phone number for the guy that comes out and replates badges for them. These are the same guys that do the gold plating on badges and grills and stuff. I believe it is some sort of electrostatic plating process.

I think simply blacking out the star will do wonders for its frontal appearance.

Overall, very nice looking car and nice sound clip.

III II I I AMG - I have: 2nd cat replaced with straight pipe, and x-piped resonators. Sorry for the quality, if you want more videos, I'll try my best to do them. Let me know!

Jrcart - Thanks for the info! I didn't know it is that easy, I'm actually going to a dealer on monday for a fuel injector recall, so I'll talk to them about the grill. Thanks .

Everybody else, thanks for your comments!

if your going to make the new vid soon, it'll help me out alot.. but about your muffler shop.. did you have to bring them the x pipe or they have it? my muffler shop said i gotta buy it myself cause its too expensive for them to keep it in stock, and never orders any

ATKM5

To be honest, try to find a new muffler shop. Mine had it and so did all the other ones that I went to in my area when I was looking around. They sold it to me for 180 CDN$... Its the 2.5 inch Magnaflow one. The whole job cost me about $490 CDN$, so around 450 USD and it took them 2 hours. I'll do my best with the videos, either tomorrow or monday.
