NSX, 87 GN, Ducati 748, Odyssey
Newbie from Calgary

Just saying Hi from Calgary. I posted here a few weeks ago looking for wheels and now that the PPI is done and i have the car, a proper introduction is in order.

Car is a 2004 E55 Designo Edition
-Some mods and the other neat options (to me anyways) on the car:
-Panoramic and solar roof
-Dynamic and massage seating
-Roof spoiler, rear spoiler and a CF front lip spoiler sitting i my garage waiting for install
-LED Black painted headlights
-Kleeman headers
-Custom dual snorkel cold air intake

Still learning and driving the car around and the power is absolutely crazy! (i also have a supercharged NSX and a Grand National) and this car feels quicker than the NSX, but a tad slower than the Grand National.

A whole bunch of spare parts that came with the car will be sold soon, so keep your eyes on the classifieds!

These will include:
-original exhaust manifolds
-original dynamic headlights
-Full set of staggered 20" gianna blitz rims w/Falken FK452 Tires 275/35/20 and 245/40/20. I think the rims are 20 x 9.5 and 20 x 11. I'll post offsets and pictures soon.

Hopefully i'll meet some of the local guys around. In the meantime, heres a few pictures. I apologize for the Iphone pix.

Welcome to the forum

You might want to recheck those tire sizes, they're probably gonna rub. They are way too big for an e55, looks like s-class tire sizes.

Modifications are definitely a possibility . Ths is my first entry into German vehicles and I very impressed with the knowledge on this forum. This car was intended to be the family hauler but we'll see if my Nsx was any indication, I'm sure it's time to crack open my wallet! Thanks to everyone for a warm welcome thus far. I hope to be able to contribute to this forum and make friends along the way.

for those interested, here's a link to a local write up on m Nsx a few years ago.

These headlights look pretty good but, I keep getting a malfunction error because of the lack of dynamic headlights (which bugs me). I'll probably just put stockers back on, but lightly tint them.
