I didnt need pre acceptance for a price, It was the best priced nicest looking e55 in ontario. 2003s for the same
price more KMs. so I guess im bragging not checkin prices.

Depending on the miles, I was gonna say that $31K might not be the best "good buyers price" at all, but seeing as to how you're from Canada, it's probably a great price.

The picture of the fellow showing off that terrible outfit on the other hand....

Negative. A "Homo" wouldn't be in such bad taste.

Literally LOL'd, LLOL if you will, on that one. We get it. You and your partner are loaded. The R8's a sweet ride; so is the E55. No one on this forum is going to deny that. Congrats for you both.

Can't tell if you got a great deal without a)mileage and b)carfax, or better yet, an excellent bodyman to see if its been hit and repaired prior to purchase but not yet on carfax.

oh yeah, and c) your friend is either very young, very immature, or an idiot. Just saying. Nice car, though.

Not a fan of the ricer yellow lights myself. Really clashes with the amber too.

Tell your boy to stop wearing Canadian Tuxedo's, regardless of how much they cost. Nobody cares about his Hublot when he's dressed like a tool.

Looks good but I would rid the hood ornament and the yellow fogs. How did you paint the OEM rims?

Leave the hood ornament. And leave the yellow fogs. If the inside head lights are yellow, I would put those back to stock.

One thing I miss about my Lexus is the HID headlights and Yellow Fogs.

You must have had a IS300?
I first put 3K HID fog light setup on my SC300. I was so impressed that I did it on my E55. Everyone that has seen it has done it as well. Believe it or not the light output on my POS Lexus SC300 is better than that of my E55.

I only did the bulbs only, my fog lenses are still OEM.

the inside lights just look yellow all they have is a light tint. hood ornament is staying as its my crosshair for people of certain "cultures" that I am not a fan of. yellow fogs wer first done by benz so its fitting. and I only temp painted my wheels with plasti dip, they wer really damaged by some sort of acid.

yes im on the side of law that makes my wallet fatter not thinner.

For the fogs....what are they? Yellow capsules with regular bulbs? Where did you get them. And can you take a pic at night with them on? One from the front and one from the side?

Nope. GS 400. It did not have the headlights like the benz with the ball in the middle. They were just like normal lights with the reflectors at the back of the headlights. And let me tell you, they blow my Benz HID lights away. I thought I was the only one who thought the HID's in the E55 are not that great.

I miss the yellow fog look. I just did a set of 5000k HID's and 3000k Fog HID's in my Brothers 2010 Altima, and it's badass. Those yellow HID fogs look amazing.
