Shes all done, What you guys think?

I got a little "festive" with my iphone editor so sorry but the phone pics were worse before.

But none the less here she is. Only thing I still might do is black out the grille, and red-out the calipers. Other than that im done.

I think she looks nice
- Suvneer all around
-CLS Wheels
- 63 grille with that cruise thingy that I just liked for looks
- Chip and Pulley
- Ordered cooling stuff today
- Lowered via hacking, no bushing or anything. Had it lower but she rubbed
- Pretty Rare two tone interiour which is OEM
- Wired in Belkin Bluetooth
- Clingo phone holder... my favorite mod... using it as I write this
- Front windshield tinted


SIDE NOTE: if someone knows anyone with the secret DIN shelf I want to buy it, Also have a 6 disc changer for sale (we can work out a trade) that was in its place.





heres a better look at my phone setup. Its a belkin AUX bluetooth wired in behind the cig lighter by simply splicing in another cig lighter. It splits from cig lighter part to aux cable in glove box to that blue belking bluetooth button. the cig lighter part also has a usb slot for phone cable to charge which I also ran behid the ashtray and have it comming out the side of the deck. IMO the best $65 I ever spent... well better than the $400-$1000 options atleast.


Had her Plasti Dipped before, Highly recommend it but make sure you lay it on thick so it comes off easy. I just got bored of it and went back. Took me about 4 hours to peel... Considering it all cost me $250 I have no complaints.

Is that car a designo? I've never seen black/porcelain combo. Maybe it's a Canadian option ?
I'm jealous

Nope, I had my buddy check into it. Guy paid close to $10,000 for the option Ive been told. Not sure if the price is accurate but it was confirmed by benz that it was a custom order when he got it new. its an 06 Ive had it since early 2012

I didn't know you could get porcelain in the e55's either. I've been working for Benz going on 10 years in a major market and have never seen that before. Very rare indeed . My favorite designo color interior btw. That or the iwc cls55

A porcelain interior in a murdered out car is sorta wrong.

Clean execution on the exterior, though....except for the front plate.

I would love to have porcelain leather on my e55. The old c43 and E55 had two tone black/porcelain as a no cost option
But the Canadian market has been known to get some unique models for example the E60 M5 came with the European motor for the first year, afterwards it got the detuned American motor. Also First generation M5s came with black with tan leather while all us models came black/black only.

AMG Murdered out look

Great look 'sure like that Murdered out satin black image at the service station. Q Wheels are 18 x 8.5 and 9.5's? Does the Belkin Bluetooth play though the radio speakers & dim the radio?

Ofcoarse, I use my Iphone to play music (AUX mode) and to answer phone calls i just press the button, and in my iphone where normally i would seitch between speaker phone and regular speaker I now have a "car audio" option to plat through the sprakers. You talk into the blue tooth piece not your phone when u turn that option on. It works great and quality is wonderful.

Looks great, but I would do headlights, mirrors and taillights facelift and then you're done. You have the distronic grill but you don't have the switch by the shifter console, is the grill for looks only?

I meant the E34. Typing on my Ipad and forgot which platform. American models made slightly less hp due to emissions. it wasnt much like 30 hp.

The distronic sensor can see through plastic (clear or not) but the density needs to be consistent. That's why it's a thin flat vertical piece of plastic. A standard grill with the horizontal bars throw the sensor off.
