Flint Grey E55 AMG Photoshoot!!!

Hey guys,

So I went out with a buddy of mine last Sunday and he took a bunch of great pictures of my car. A lot of the photos were taken around parts of La Jolla.

I hope you enjoy, once I get a few more mods I'll have another shoot taken..anyone in San Diego want to come with me when I do it?

Enjoy...

Not an AMG :(


This is my favorite - beautiful car and great photos!

Out of curiosity, whose 'drop' do you have on your car? (e.g. RennTech or STAR lowering?)

Thanks...the rolling shot seems to be everyones favorite. The car was lowered with a Renntech ELM by James@ACG (pm with any questions regarding the install)

Thank you for all the kind words guys, we did all the work here at my body shop so if anyone has any questions please feel free to PM me.

Very sick. Some of the best shots I've seen. Let me know if you are doing photos again... I'd love to get some of my ride. I am in Orange County. My ride is bone stock though so may not be able to share the same camera lens with that phatness you're cruising around in

Thank you very much..I'll have to ask my photographer what the pictures were taken with. If I recall it was a Nikon D300...not sure about anything else. I'll find out and post it up here.

Thanks aleksandar..the tails were smoked in a two-stage process to get the color how I wanted it. The paint is a mixture of Spies Hecker black paint (Mercedes 040) and clear coat to get the transparent look.
