why do people do this? Fine, he wanted the updated look and that is fine and all is good there. Actually did a good job with the conversion. BUT why change the E55 badge to say E63 and the side badges to the 6.3 AMG badges. whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

And forget that, but why in the hell would someone spend that much money (new rims, new front fender, new trunk (at least part of it is new) new rear lights) just to make it look like a newer car. Are people really THAT shallow?

CLS55 AMG & RRS S/C
would have been nice if he didnt put those badges on.
nothing wrong with it being a 55!
i actually prefer that engine
but i still have much love for the 63!

E55
Yeah- that really confuses me. You already have an E55- no reason to pose as an E63. I mean really- it would actually make more sense if he had a non-amg E that he did all that work to. The 55 is already a badass machine and doesn't need the looks of an E63 to be a baller car

2007 E63
What's up with those wheels? I've never seen those as OEM on any E class AMG. I understand the desire to do the front bumper conversion and wheels, but the roof and trunk spoiler look horrible, and he should be shot for rebadging to an E63. Like everyone said, an E55 is "baller" enough.
Funny enough, I saw a CLS550 this morning in Paramus, NJ that the guy had rebadged to a "CLS63" and "AMG". Is this a NJ thing

The car was probably in an accident, that would explain the gap as well as the entire conversion as a whole. For the cost of the conversion he could have sold the 55 and bought an actual lower mile 63 for about the same out of pocket cash.

i love all this "badge bashing" on these forums but im willing to bet half the guys that start these "the guys a douche" comments or the "kick them in the *****" wouldnt even make such comments face to face.Not trying to call anybody out but im always lurking these forums in search of good mods,help on issues with our cars,and if I can to help out a fellow mb owner,but these posts just keep popping up,I swear I feel like I was in grammar school where if your sneakers werent authentic jordans or reebok pumps all the kids would laugh.just my 2 cents
