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.

YEah adjustable links from adjustableairride.com although I'm thinking down the road to add the ELM to the setup so I can fine tune it better.

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.

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.

Your car is pure sex. But you should just add a trunk lid spoiler to it in my opinion. But still sick.

Too much accessories and it starts to look tacky lol. I agree. Spoiler only
