Is it me, or is that V8 Kompressor a tad high?
Thanks! I would add the spoiler, but it is not my style.

Thanks! Yeah it is the photo's angle on the exhaust pipes.

Thanks! I agree with you on not having a spoiler, I think the spoiler is just too much, less is more

Was it the pain in the A that everyone says?
Thanks and yes it feels like a new car! I average 1-3 complements a day when driving around in public The only pain in the *** was messing with the parktronic sensors and having to super glue/epoxy them in place. Everything else is easy if you are used to messing with this car

What was total cost from beginning to end?
Thanks! With all the parts and painting it was around $5,000 including doing the whole front end with a 3m clear bra.

Thanks! Check above ^^^^^

It is a little bit more than that

Thanks! I thought the emblems were a bit high, but they assured me they put them in the factory location. I actually had the whole car taken down to bare metal and repainted factory 744 silver and clear coated using Penske Automotive for $5k, but I only paid the deductible because my car was vandalized and the paint was scratched up all over The car now looks floor room new and is stunning from all angles, it is amazing how clean the car stays now with the fresh paint job!

By the way, in this picture it almost seems like your parktronic sensors are pushed in a little more than they should? Or is that just the angle of the picture?

Thanks! You have a good eye because a few of the sensors are about 1 to 2mm indented because I could not get the parktronic brackets on the inside to go as flush as the factory ones. They are all dead center, but it just was not possible to get them to perfectly protrude and be flush.

The car definitely looks like a whole different type of beast for sure! I get so much looks and complements now compared to before

Thanks! The exhaust tips are extremely clean, but they are not stainless and that is why they might not look clean. The were jet coated in silver.

Looks Great Mickey.. Why not go with the 5.5 AMG side emblems? I bought a set before I even owned my car.. and waffled on the change until last weekend.

In terms of placement, the emblem should be (approx) 4 7/8" from the lower trim. It looks like they just went high. Regardless, your car is A W E S O M E!!!! Nice Job!!

Hey Mikey what are your offsets on your forgestars? I just ordered Gunmetal F14's 32 in the front and 40 in the rear. Is that what you are running? Flawless conversion done on this beast!

I might in the future, but am modded out lol. I have been messing with the car non stop since I bought it and need a bit of a break.

Thanks on the complements

Thanks! I am not sure on the offsets, forgestar told me all the e55 wheels have the same offsets so I just ordered 19" and that was it.

No sorry, everything is very easy to do to be honest. The trunk lid takes five minutes, the tail lights take about 20 minutes, the front end took about 1 hour, and the mirrors took forever lol. If you need any help lmk

Wow! Looks killer, bro!

A quick question, if I may. Do they sell an E63 front grill without the emblem on it? I think both of the emblems, one right above the other, looks out of place. Other than that, it looks killer!

That looks TIGHT! Love it.
The exhaust is addicting. I find myself turning the stereo down, more than up.

Thanks, I believe on eBay you can buy an after market grille without the emblem!

I bought them from a connection in Germany, but I do not want to disclose what I paid lol. The mirrors are plug and play in regards to wiring, but not the installation. They are a major PITA to install and requires drilling holes into the door panel.

Thanks The exhaust is very addicting! The only time I really get on the car is just to hear that sweet sound

Super Clean, Mikey! I'd like to do this to my ride also, but it just ain't a priority right now.
