2006 E-55 AMG customzations

hey guys i just bought my 06 e55 amg about a yr and half ago, and I love the car, i love the power and torque and how nice the car looks! ...but now i wanna do something to it such as:

-add wheels
-do some body modfic,
-try to do some carbon fiber
-change lights or add different lights
- etc...


I HAVE THE SILVER COLOR BENZ WITH THE PANO ROOF


are there any suggestions? or websites i can use to get aftermarket parts? the reason why i ask about the website because i cant trust some of these websites, and im not sure if they are approved for Mercedes parts so i need some help


THANK YOU GUYS IN ADVANCE FOR THE HELP !

I would def. start with wheels and some lowering. Wheels and lowering changes the entire stance and look of the car so I would go after that first. After that some Carbon Fiber extras would be nice like a rear deck spoiler and a front lip, and maybe a carbon rear window spoiler. The front grille in black would be a good addition to the car as well.

As far as parts go

Wheels - www.dpe-wheels.com
Lowering links - http://www.adjustableairride.com
Grille - I think your best bet is ebay for that
Front Carbon Lip and Diffuser along with spoiler you can find sponsors on here selling them on specials a lot of times.

Good Luck

SILVER IS THE BEST COLOR OUT THERE

Smoked side markers
LED side marker lights (5000k)
HID low beams (5000k)

It seams like almost every visual mod was mentioned.. Another thing that would be a nice touch would be some cf mirror covers. Suvneer is a sponsor that sells them..

One could also consider it "low hanging fruit".

DPE makes some sick wheels in my opinion but there are tons of other companies out there now that make an amazing product. Look in the wheels pic thread in this section to get some ideas.

That I bought and had installed at a local chain. I chose the Pioneer because it has the ability to run iphone apps through it that you can control on the touch screen. And also that I've had 4 Pioneers in the past.

Pioneer App Mode --

Model I bought w/some other bells and whistles
