The Godfather's E55 goes black....
...and it can't go back because it's painted! black roof, roof gutter strips things, and grill. 20x10.5R and 20x9F HRE 843R black with chrome lips. Next I'll do the Euroteck Motorsports CF trunk lip (again!) and I'm thinking about doing a roof spoiler in glossy black.

hey did you do the grill yourself? To finish it off paint the chrome part of the impact strip to black, just did it on my white E55 and it looks sick i can send you pics if you want?

No, I had the bodyshop do it. lol does it look crappy? haha
Yeah I'll do the spoiler. The vent grill... dunno, still got mixed feelings. I may do it.
Thanks! No, the sidemarkers are painted silver like the car and were sanded down to remove the serial numbers and crap that is embossed in the plastic.
I thought about it but I think I'd want to paint it silver if anything. Post up some pics!

Good lookin car. As it stands, it's tastefully done. I would vote against doing anymore black trim though, besides a spoiler of course. There is a thing as too much accessories lol.

As requested by the OP- merging this thread with his OG Build thread. I will change the title.
And again, Mike get rid of that stupid plate.

Thanks!
I need my CF trunk lip back! They in stock yet? Yep that's my plan! I'm gonna do the CF trunk lip first and then decide whether or not I wanna do the roof spoiler.
