Opinion: Silver E55 with 20" 63RS's - Next mods?

Hey everyone... I finally got out and took some pics of my ride. I have done a few things since I bought it back in '07, but I hadn't posted any pictures until now... I can't decide if I'm done, or if I should do something else. I'm thinking about maybe a CF front lip and diffuser.... Anyway, my camera isn't the greatest, but hopefully you'll get the "picture"

Any thoughts on my next move?

Looks very nice! I am in the market for a 55 right now and I was looking into those wheels. How do you like them thus far? how is the finish? what setting is your suspension on in the pics?

Thanks! So far, the wheels have been really nice for me. Initially, there were some issues with my front tires because I'd gotten the wrong size (they were too tall), but it's all good now. The finish is nice and once I polish the chrome lips, it really pops out... I have my suspension on Sport 1 right now... I keep it there, for the most part.

Looks good...but I think a drop would set off the car perfectly!

Just my humble 2 cents...

"comfort power" and the "K" in the back? Hair dryer and slowly peel those stickers, but other than that..... nice. I love the tinted front side marks

Thanks. The mirror covers are CF, so I figured they'd match the front lip nicely (once I decide to pull the trigger on it!)

Will the Sport 2 suspension setting change the height at all? (Right now, it's in Sport 1 mode.)

Ok, thanks.... I may look into those methods (except for the washers).
