Thanks Tal and Vazha! Heiss, I know the feeling, tried to resist with new 55 lip and fogs and a week later gave in to the 63 bumper. Smart decision

Dude

Your car turned out great with the painted grille. I just mounted your old one 2 days ago after a detail and will shoot you some pics tomorrow. I like your plan to hit the star as well. While doing that, why not add the hood vent by the windshield.
Car looks solid.

Contrary to popular belief, white will stay looking cleaner than all other colors. Do the calipers!!

Lol, yeah man, yours look great, I almost bought the same set. Im happy with these though, 18's (no more f&^%** pothole worries) and I can touch them up whenever.
Oh yeah, did I mention it looks BADASS? Breaking my neck everytime I walk away.

Nope, no prep at all. I know it sounds weird, but none necessary.

Already got those Akebonos on Evosport rotors. One of the very first things I did to the car (thanks tgoss).
I'm giving into the caliper paint. Going to order that G2 kit on amazon I linked earlier http://www.amazon.com/Temperature-Br.../dp/B000AUMOQI
I'm thinking of doing black "Brembo" logos instead of AMG.

I'm glad you guys liked it, I didn't expect this much positive feedback. Also didnt expect it to look as good as it does either
Thanks again fellas Cant wait to do the calipers now.

how did the evosport rotors feel when you put them on? i am thinking of getting them and i read they are pretty decent rotational weight savings - did you notice any difference?

Its def an improvement over stock. Plus the weight, the look, and their "floating" ability add up! Got a great deal too.

I did the black wheel thing with my white WRX a few years back and wouldn't do black wheels on a white car again. IMO - it's kinda played out but the biggest reason is the wheel wells totally dissapear when you go flat black. It gives it a lost in space look.

The wheels in your signature pic look a lot better IMO. I think you need a white lip ring or like was suggested - a white calipers and a white lip ring. But of course your car is your expression. I'd like to race ya though! Wish you were closer

Here's a set of dark WedsSports on my "rice rocket" before I swapped them for lighter ones after my 35R turbo.


So ya, I'd love to race that subie too lol. The E55 isnt stock either

Well, I'm on E63 18's for a reason. And I sure as hell wasnt gonna keep them stock looking. In the last 6months I've owned many sets of wheels for this car. I cant even look at wheels anymore LOL. The 20's looked the best but lasted two weeks on our wonderful roads. Since winter I've had SL500 18's, 19" AMG reps, 19" bbs lm's, 19" sportecs, 19" forgestar f14 twins (cant remember name), the white lip 20's etc.
The problem is, I think 19's look too small. If I have to dodge potholes everywhere - I'm gonna run 20's.
I settled for comfort and cant say I dislike the look of the e63 18s. I nailed 2 potholes today and did nothing but smile because I knew it would DEF take out my 20" and cost me a tire or two for 19.

I do a lot of driving and frankly am tired of dodging potholes like a retard, I enjoy the ride in comfort now
Your ride looks sweet my man, like I said before you definitely pulled off those 18's. I'd love to run/snap a few pics of the cars together too
