A few shots of my 55 after the visual mods.

Here are a few shots of my 2005 E55 after I did the following;

Tinted windows and windshield.
Tinted corners
TInted Tails
Laminex headlights
Matte black painted grille
Debadged
Flat hood emblem and matching rear emblem

**Added the carbon Eurotek rear diffuser but it was after the pics.

I would love to hear your opinions.

Not sure about aftermarket wheels. Been going back and forth. May do 19" CLS wheels.

I love a blacked out White E55! Only thing I would change is to keep the headlights clear, I love the black grill and tinted tails.

I would love to hear your opinions.

I really like the Jeep SRT8. That color is bad ***!! They really did it right on that suv.
Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for all the opinions guys. I am really torn about the wheels as of right now. The Laminex may come off. I am not sold on the look of it, and the light output is SEVERELY diminished. That coupled with the windshield tint make driving at night interesting.

Thanks for the opinions on the SRT. Thats a great truck to drive. I still love driving it, just now compared to the benz, the seats are really uncomfortable.

I did the lamin-x on the headlights and went with only a 30% tint...what percentage is the one you have on your car?
