After months of searching, I purchased a car that was local to me, from another member on here. It's an '03 with 42k and CPO until 4/10, some nice touches such as HID fogs, 3M tint, large star grille (CLS) and slightly lowered. As for mods, VRP Pythons, 80mm TB, K&N and Sprint Booster. Yes, I know TTIWWP. I'll take some tomorrow if the sun is out.

I'll probably keep it the way it is for a while. I think the only thing I need is the Chrysler warranty for when the CPO coverage runs out.

Post some pics, but ditch the grille. The stock grille is much cleaner looking IMHO.

Congrats...I've had both the star grill (5 years) and now I have a OEM grill (1year) in carbon fiber faux finish...I've got to say I like the cleaner look of the OEM grill. Whatever the case, enjoy the car and whatever fits your eye... keep it...it's easy enough to change if you decide to go the other way.

Congrat's on your purchase, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Here's a link to Curt's web site for all your MB performance needs.

Thanks Brian! I didn't know if you wanted to be identified as the seller. I just need to get her registered, so I can start driving. It was a pleasure to do business with you.

Well the sun came out, so here are some pics. I need to give her a bath, but not today.

Why debadge a E55? or was the truck repainted?

Nice car none the less...

X2Board

All original paint, the previous owner liked the clean look and I usually debadge all my cars too. However, I am thinking that some black badges will look better than the naked rear on this particular car.

Congrats. Enjoy in good health, hope you lose that front star grill

The star grille does not photograph well, but I like the look in person. I do like the look of the regular grille too, so it may be one of the things I will change when I'm ready for a new look.

+1 or paint it in black at least. That grill looks so awkward

Black badges (incl. fender) with that CF lip would look so good!

+1 just look at godfathers for a reference

Those chrome headlight covers are BUTT! Looks like the left rear is sitting a lot higher then the right rear????

Yeah, you can see it in the wheel wheels. The car doesn't look to be sitting right.

Congrats on the new ride

But like everybody says, dump the grill.

Very cool X2. I'll be making a purchase soon too, and CPO and extended warranties are the next things I need to research. Congrats and enjoy your drive time.

The car sits fine on level ground, my driveway slopes to the right for drainage and I had raised the suspension just before I pulled the car out of the garage and shut the car off before it was fully raised.

X2Board

Funny you should say that, I was looking at his car last night and it is the hotness

X2Board

I also have a black one that came with the car. The swap will be coming soon as I held it up to compare, and like it better than the one that is currently on there.

X2Board

Thanks Shooter. Take your time and find the right one, good luck with the search.

Good looking car Marlon....now get some wheels!

X2Board

Thanks Marcus!

Time to go a little

What can and cannot be retrofitted to an '03?
I just want an updated command with NAV, IPOD and BT connectivity.

emoving

You can do it all, start with the Command first!
