Sorry bro I just saw this, I left after my last post. It was cool, hung out for a good amount of time but Ed was up in Santa Monica at the Luxe Meet (or something like that).

Fresh, Nick, Mikey, Jon, Brandon, and Sam were there for a while plus the daily regs.

One of the only CLSs that I have ever liked. Very sweet. (one of the others is the white one in the pics with the black grille)

I like the wheels on the E55.What kind of wheel is it?

BenzoBoi

There ya go...

Thanks.

I was wondering if power coat charcoal color does look better on black car or go with the solid black rims?

I want input from you guys, Ed, this means you too. As of right now, My car is stock. Its white with black interior. Im having HMS paint my sidemarkers white. Thats about the only exterior mod I plan on doing. Right now I'm not sure how long I'm gonna keep my car for (depends what kind of warranties I can get) But I'm thinking about blacking everything out. Rims/rear lights/mirror blinkers/sidemarkers/tints/emblems. Basicaly everything except the grille. What do you guys think? Even if I am keeping the car I need to decide, cause I love trhe stock one and I love that one too. Tough choice. If not, I already decided that the next 4 door I'm getting is gonna be burgandy, so I'll do all of that blacking out to the burgandy car. What do you guys think?

DO IT!!
White car with black accents is Perfect IMO. I would also definitely get the roof painted black, White E with black roof is sick IMO.

I just got my V1 in the mail today and I need to have it hardwired. No concealed display, just the V1 itself. How much is a good price? I dont really have any money left after buing the V1.

If I try to do it myself I will F up my car to the point that the MB techs wont knoiw how to fix it.

Haha!!!! I knew thqat pic would come back to haunt me. If it wasnt for him, my license plate would have been flying everywhere that day. I'm driving to Palm Springs in the morning. Obviously cant have it hardwired by then, but I can definitely test it out...

Edison from HMS is truly one cool guy. Last time I went down there he did some stuff with my lights, and before I left we thought everything was good. I got home and I realized that it looked a little funky, it wasnt really a F up, but we couldnt tell when it was light out. He offered to meet up with me while he was near my house to fix the problem, instead of me having to drive to HMS. He came by last night.

Amazing service. I dont think anywhere else would take care of its ppl like that.

Thanks Edison!!!!

No Problem, Im Glad I can help

ed,

pleasure speaking with you today over the phone regarding the DPE S10's as you def convinced me to go for it as i'm now trying to scoop them up from rareamg? (hopefully not too late)

the pic of your ride with them on sold me since my e55 will be silver as well.

thanks for all the suggestions and definitely expect me come see you to get my grill and badges blacked out, tint, hid for my fogs, and am now seriously considering getting the roof painted black for the wannabe pano look

thanks for being cool about me basically telling you I want my car to look exactly like the picture

we'll talk soon

jangy

Those DPEs should be hot n the ride, especially once you get the wells filled out.

I am hoping to swing by HMS today to pick up my parts. I'm hoping i can get the car in there in the next two weeks to get the paintwork cleaned up. The lip looks really cool to me. Kudos to Jon for the creativity.

CrazyDonkey

i know im comming in a little late, but anymore pictures/specs of this CLS?

xzibit

Jangy, thanks as well for the quick replies to my pm's and questions. I will work with ED to see if i can get 285 in the rears when its time to replace the tires.

I'll post pics as soon as I get them on...have to wait a couple weeks since my beast is going on a truck tomorrow

But again I'm basically looking to make my car look like this with the exception of having my roof painted by HMS (hope ed doesn't mind me postin these)

jangy

I dunno if Jon has anymore pics, but the car has had more changes. it has a new interior with the quilt like stitching, engine bay painted, VRP / PC tunes...

CrazyDonkey

oh i saw those pictures in another thread. i really liked the way it looked in that picture he posted earlier though. and those white faced HRE's set it off i think.
