Black grill looks a ton better, but I'm still not a fan of the large emblem. I think of this when I see it.

Lol. Thanks for the feedback HeissRod. I think I prefer the black better too and will go without the star only if I can find an OEM or OEM fit grille that does not have the small logo on top or the cut out for it.

The alternative will be to go for the OEM grille and then return the flat hood emblem to the standing star. Not really sure I want to do that either as it gives the car a dated look. Decisions, decisions lol. Where are folks getting their black grilles anyway? Not willing to part with almost $500 on the E63 grille sold by mboemparts.com.

On a side note, I like your wheels. What size are those?

The grille I got from Gary had the indentation. I filled mine before I painted the grille. If HeissRod found one on eBay then that would be the way to go. Hell, I'd have done that and saved myself the time .

Thanks guys. After so many tries of different grilles with the big mercedes logo, I gave up because none looked like it belonged. I also could not find any grille without the badge indentation on ebay so i went back to the OEM grille and returned to the standing hood star to avoid the "double badge" but did bling out the badge on the grille lol (looks real cool in person especiallyin the sun). I am happy with final outcome. Wheels should be here in a week and I'm all set.

Sorry, crappy cell phone pics...

long shot here, but is there any chance that anyone has a black painted e63 bumper they would want to sell? My current bumper broke this winter, and it would be much nicer to just have one I could swap out quick.

Did you ever get this sorted with the E63 front end conversion? I have a FTP HE sitting here waiting to go in. I'm thinking maybe I should sell it to get a PLM for fitment?

211-880-07-03 Center Inner Plastic Support

This method you can trim and fit the E55 Energy Absorbers aka Foam Inserts

If you don't want to trim your E55 foam inserts and get the perfect fitment right off the bat then you need these.

211-885-13-37 Impact Absorber Center
211-885-15-37 Impact Absorber Left
211-885-16-37 Impact Absorber Right

But if you want to go all out i would also get these

211-885-05-16
211-885-06-16

^^ these attach to the inner plastic supports and provide an attachment for the inner wheel well.

I personally order them all, the cost wasn't too bad, but this way its a perfect fitment and will be reinforced all over the bumper.
I copied this parts list from a different thread. Can someone confirm if these part numbers are correct. I checked on parts.com and they do not have;
211-885-15-37
211-885-16-37
211-885-05-16
211-885-06-16

Thank you

Would anyone know if we are able to turn off the bumper lights in the corner of the bumper, with the STAR/DAS system after the e63 conversion has been installed on our E55s?

There are no corner marker lights on the E63 conversion bumpers that Gary sells. I just had mine done. Body shop praised the fitment and quality.

Thanks again, Gary!

Love the car WideRide.

I know that there are no bumper lights on the E63 oem or aftermarket. I've had mine done since last year from Gary. However the E55 does. I am trying to find out if the light can be disabled with DAS instead of just leaving the bulb in the socket behind the bumper. When the bulb is removed the light error on the dash comes on.

My bad man.

You have a good question there, then. I just left the bulbs in the socket and tucked them.

Not a problem my good man.

Yeah that's my main concern, I had my bumper off the other day, and I thought let me see how hot it gets. It was burning to a point that its not really safe.

I've seen some ppl use resistors to not allow the dash light come on, but I rather just turn it off from the source, being the computer through DAS if possible. Just need more information before I take it to the stealership lol

Thanks for this!

Where is the Central Gateway located? I remember seeing the ROW option, just don't remember what menu its under. Does it effect anything else if i set the car to ROW?

I'm assuming by setting it to ROW i'm getting more options with the car with features vs the restricted north america? Sorry i'm still new to the ocean of information to do with STAR and i'm trying to be more hands on with this car.
