E55 AMG / Gallardo
New member -- E55 AMG

So I've had all kinds of cars in the past, and I've had a ton of BMW's (mostly M3's), but this is my first time venturing into the Mercedes world. I have been a big fan of the AMG E55 for a while as they can look real good with subtle mods, and are extremely fast for a 4 door car with just a few mods.
I'm a big time DIY guy and have done anything from engine builds, fabrication, general maintenance, rearend builds, etc in the past. So, I'm sure I'll fit right in with making some helpful threads in the coming months as I decide to mix it up or add some mods and document them with threads.
Anyways, here are a few pics...

thanks, it's got interior led lighting, as well as side markers and tag lights, and then the fog lights. here are a few pics:



It all looks really cool at night, but I can't seem to capture it correctly with the camera.

Thanks. Yes, it's a Gallardo. Here are a couple random pictures. It's a really fun car to drive as well. It just lacks the torque of the E55.

That's correct. I suppose we have pretty similar taste, because the wheel brand, carbon pieces and mods are exactly how I would've started on one if I bought it stock. So it worked out great.

I just realized it wasn't in my profile so I added it. Yes, you are correct on east cost. I live in metro Atlanta.
