New Houston E55 owner with mods and pics

Thanks to Newbie and Blownbenz for obvious reasons.

I just picked up my 04 E55 12-30-09. 36k miles, 1 owner, 2 year 75k warranty.

Mods done so far:

-20" Euro63 wheels w/Nitto Envo Tires
-Adjustable lowering arms
-Carbon Fiber rear diffuser
-Eurocharged ECU
-Flat hood emblem

Not yet installed but purchased

-Front carbon fiber lip (installing it tomorrow)
-Eurocharged Pulley (on backorder, but on order none the less)
-Euro impact strips with parking light delete
-Matte black emblems

I am also thinking about smoking the tail lights. I am on the fence though. It's kinda ghetto to me for some reason.

If your gonna do the Black emblems do ahead and do the Chrome trim around the car. Are the top and bottom of the door handles already painted blk or is it just the light ?

Love that look, IMO, don't tint the tails, it looks ok on some, but that car is sitting perfect right now with what your going to do. Sometimes, less is more.

Thanks for all of the positive compliments. I put the front lip on today, it looks really tough. I want to finish all my other mods before i post more pics.

I am super happy with the outcome so far, esp since this is my new daily company car.

I just sold my 335i this morning. Great car but it didnt have the heart and stance of the E. Next, is to sell the 996TT. I am thinking about a SL55 weekend car. Man, i'll be like AMGFAN when i grow up!

Nice work

I'd skip the taillight tinting. As 007Benz said, "Sometimes, less is more"
