I got the same wheels on my E550, hey where did you order your E63 Bumper from? and how much do they cost? Does it direct fit to my 08 E550, I have AMG front bumper style, but want to convert to E63 bumper.

On the fog led combo maybe one being the led is for looks and the fog more for function when needed... just a guess if they can turn them on and off separately

I didn't buy that when I order my conversion.
That looks sick.. I definitely want to rip out my fogs and get those leds, especially since they come with the custom grills. Can you let me know where I can get them or if I can obtain them through you? I wanted to do something like that when I originally converted to the 63 bumper. Now I want to more than ever.

The LED's are awesome, but it looks like the mesh is far back, so it kind of looks like it is not there. Is this how it looks in person or does it look uniform with the center mesh?

Very nice! So what does an E63 front end conversion like this cost, without those LED strip foglights?
