Finally got my E55 the way I want it...... Pictures Enclosed / Opinions Welcome !!!

Note the black belt-trim side moldings, above license plate, etc.

Chrome surrounding black grille. Haven't seen that done before.

Also glove-box button painted silver to match shifter surround & back of instrument cluster. The silver ties your eye into a triangle in the black interior.

I like everything except the smoke tail light. I think better smoke only the red part and leave the white part.

I was actually thinking about doing that (tail-lights were already painted when I purchased the car.)

Thanks for feedback gentlemen.

Thanks a lot Gene! Ordered the HID kits we discussed - my last mods.
But figured I could take daytime photos first, was anxious to see reactions.

Hey Bryan. No I didn't go over there at all. My good buddy that was much closer to me did all the work. Hope all has been well with you.

Why replace the pins and pedals with oem? Those are better than the oem!

BTW, nice looking car! You in the east valley? Also, is your trim painted matte black or still chrome? It is hard to tell by the pictures.

Mikey,
Thanks! I'm in the Biltmore Area. I'm sorry but what "trim" are you referring to?
