I agree on the spoiler... the CF spoiler looked hot.

Regardless, confused by your comment (bolded section, my emphasis)... where do you find forged one-piece 19" wheels, custom fitment and offsets, and a few finish options, for ~$1300 for all four wheels (or about $325 per wheel)? Admittedly, these aren't forged - but they're not your run-of-the-mill generic cast rep's either.
Like C32AMG DTM said

The two license plates on the back look extremely stupid. Lose the European one.

Thanks guys! Here are some pics I just snapped plus some from SoCal Euro. You can see the new DTC Motorsports grill, commissioned by yours truly , which has 3 slats and is full carbon fiber, and no vertical bar. Furthermore, less air restriction should make it more fun

I just put black lug caps too

Reviving an old thread.

Not sure if this e55's still around, but does anyone know which front lip that is?

I actually can't tell the diff between the lips available for the 211 amg bumpers. Can someone point out some differences?

Thanks,

Im guessing this is a Euroteck front lip.. Just order one from Gary@Suveen though, they are basically all the same.

He did sell his E55...But he did have our Euroteck front lip on there http://www.etkms.com/index.cfm?fusea...ct=5&pageid=41 along with our rear diffuser http://www.etkms.com/index.cfm?fusea...ct=8&pageid=41

Keep in mind, we are the originators and creators of this front lip. Now it seems every Chinese or Taiwan company is whoring out replicas of them on this forum as well as ebay. We are flattered yet disappointed at the same time. Whoever you buy this style from in the end, remember who designed it.

Way to support the innovators!!!! All those companies do is sell copy's of other parts. You put the companies who create them out of business and there will be no market anymore. (on both sides!)

Sorry, I just dont see the point in spending double the price to get something of pretty much the same quality.. Your diffuser on the other hand is top notch and is easily the best one of the market

Im petty sure after the special pricing he always does, the parts end up being only around $100 difference or so. IMO, it is well worth the small xtra to get the Euroteck parts. You bought a Benz, not a Chevy.

Euroteck parts are the best quality carbon parts for these cars hands down.

Anyone that confuses chinese replica quality with this hasn't seen the real thing.

Thank guys, always nice to hear that our quality is noticed. We always can work with people on the pricing, so this is why we encourage people to check with us first before buying something they regret that wills devalue there car in looks. Also, please show me a overseas company that offers a 3 year warranty on their parts?
