Here are a few examples of stock 55 / 63 brakes with just paint and a Brembo logo. The stockers with Evo rotors work just fine IMO.
HAHA!!! You snagged me. My bad. I meant to say that they were not Brembo branded. They are Brembo's OEM division. That isn't to say that they suck and I definitely didn't recommend upgrading, since I do like the ones I have.

I just like to give VIC schnookies for posing the red brembos first

Since we are off topic as can be, can I get some painted side markers for the C350? That huge orange patch makes me wanna puke everytime I see it.
Does HMS have hookups for tint for me? Hehe, maybe we can just paint the windows??

Yeah, just bring it by and well paint the sidemarkers on the spot. Tint is no problem as well. We have a mobile tint guy that comes by when we call him.


The wheels on the Vorsteinier E55 are DPE wheels with flat black center and gloss black lips

AMG E55, Stage 1, Strait Pipe from Primary Cats
I was at HMS yesterday and saw it, Ed was installing the black painted logo's on it. The wheels do look better in person I must say, they tend to wash out and lack the detail in the pics, kinda like a black blob. I would not want to make any right hand turns into parking lots etc.with that drop, I can hear the wheel hitting the fender now.

Super OT but its about the products so since you modded and made both my current rides as sexy as ever, whats left. Maybe a SpeedArt wing for the 997TT?? But what about the M6?? I think it might be done.

I love the cosmetics you did on my 997TT:

That Turbo is beautiful as is, but the Wing would only add to its beauty
The M6 is by far THE best M6 on the streets right now, and I dont think anybody would argue that. Lets see that crazy pic of the M6 on your new KW V3s

really only one day or two? I was thinking a week+ or so.

If you drop your wheels off early in the AM they should be done the following evening. The Calipers are one day if that.

Now, I just need to find a set that is CHEAP. I have an 05 e500, in case anyone is thinking of upgrading.

The split-5s (both the HREs and DPEs) look hot. Of all the wheels I've been looking at, 5-spokes and especially the split-5s have caught my attention lately.

Drop a feeler post in the E55 room. I know of quite a few that tried the Brembo GTs or RennTech's

yo Ed, those rolling shots are nice!!

My ride is over at VRP. I may just grab it and bring it over to you guys for this week. I wanna get LOTS painted (calipers, white part on mirrors, that type stuff), bulbs all around, and some cosmetics.

Since its the weekend, maybe you could ask VIC to come by and open up for me.....?
