The Pewter Beast....part 2.
I did some cosmetic changes to the car and reverted back to the chrome grill and added new headlights and lip. I also went back to the silver calipers a while back. Anyways, I have the 07-09 tail lights at home but haven't installed them yet.
So...
My rear tires ( Pirelli P-Zero Corsa System ) were WAY wider than my Toyo's T1R's were ( 275 vs. 285 but the ACTUAL difference was HUGE, like 1" wider ) and sometimes hit the wheel well when I get a nasty dip on the road so I'm getting the hammer out soon.

Not what I imagined it would look like. That car is clean and mean. I figured since your always changing chit around it was a beater, clearly not the case!! Props on the wheels too.

Car looks great. Definitely sick for PR. I really like that LED 3rd Brake Light. I saw them on eBay, I was hoping to find a clear one but it looks like they don't make it. Do you know if the lense is smoked or is the inside just have black so it looks smoked? I'd appreciate the help, thanks

Dude your car looks so mean and clean with a fat a$$ with those tires out back, I love it. Nice find on the brake lights too, might find me some down the road. I've noticed pirelli tires typically are wider than other brands.

I've been on the fence with the color matched grill but I'm just not sure about it.
As for the brake light, it seems like the lense is clear and the chrome inside is smoked.

Not many quick E55's here...everyone is too busy with GT-R's and Porsche's to care. Last 1/2 mile event ( some local crap they do here, it's a private even only for those invited ) there were 20 Nissan GT-R's and 25 Porsche ( various models ). There were also 4 C63's but ZERO E55's ( I wasn't invited..lol ).
