Sorry about the lighting...it was starting to get hazy out...I'll take more pics of the car after the HRE547Rs...I ordered Brushed Aluminum center so I'm dying to see the results.

Is that the MB Spoiler?

E55_POWER

I don't think it is...I got it from Jerry @ formymercedes.com, great person to deal with...He also sold me my Grille and AMG Pedals.

Got the steering wheel from MBWerks.com

WOW! Looks excellent. who makes those items? I'm especially intersted in the front grill and the rear wing.

Alex_Spider

I don't like the front..... Are you trying to show off that you own a mercedes?????

It looks to much in your face... I like to keep things more settled and less noticing. The Mercedes eblem is way to big to be fitted on that car. It just doesn't flow right....


Nice steering wheel and spoiler.

dgussin1

so you are saying that you dont like the CL series mercedes?

E55_POWER

The grille actually looks better and more subtle in person and the picture doesn't really do it "justice" IMO. The stock grille was just too plaing for me. Frankly I actually like the STAR being that size...I've seen smaller ones on different grilles and they just seemed "not in place".

The steering wheel is a bit thicker than expected and it does feel much heavier than stock when turning the vehicle.

The impact strips were very easy to pull off...the key is to take the yellow markers out first then it becomes much easier to remove. I opted to leave the bulb in and taped the light with double sided tape. We'll know tonight if the blinkers shine through the bottom where the mesh grille is by the fog lights.

You have made a real nice job. I do like the grille.
The Steering Wheel is a nice complement as well, but I feel that you are maybe a little concerned about the heaviness.
I have the burl walnut interior, and i am thinking seriously about changing the wheel to match this trim. I think it would give a nice lift to the interior.

Looks great except for one thing, you've got to lose that ugly licence plate. The car has a much cleaner look without it. After spending $80,000 + for the car, what's another $100 every 2-3 years or so in fines when the look is much better. You spent more than twice that for the eurostrips.

M5KILLR

sweet, ive got the grille and love it, have a similar spoiler too, money! have the 547r's!, damn, were bro's!!!!! after i get the renntech mods we should get together. the steering wheel is perfect thoughh, the stock one is like holding an old muscle car's steering wheel. how much and where from. i am from nova and i see you got yours from euro motorcars so were close.

Jay_Bo

Looks great. I have the same grill and love it. How does the spoiler install?

theitalianjob

I think it is the MB original spoiler. Its the only spoiler with 3-piece construction out there. (correct me if im wrong)

ncie car btw!! love the grille and steering wheel!!

houston

i was told that only coupes or 2 doors except for the ML that has the star grille. and that all 4 doors or sedan have the hood star emblem.. but since the E55 is pretty much very sporty i don't mind that look.. to others it can be too much.. I'm thinking of doing the same but i might just take the star hood emblem off and go just with flat hood with no star grille.

E55_POWER

Wow! What a coincidence! I'm from Fairfax! Shoot me an email and let's hook up. My HREs should arrive 1st week of Sept...Renntech getting done next week so you can take my car out for a spin and see the difference for yourself!

Dr Chill, I totally agree with you but the knuckleheads at the dealership and the front tag "pre-drilled" and I don't want to drive with the holes showing...I could honestly care less about the $100 tickets over the next year or so (I doubt I'll own this car more than 1 year)

E55_POWER

3M double sided tape...you have to use Industrial grade. Lucky for me we did it when it was like 90 degrees out for 2 consecutive days so I think the tape, hopefully is on there pretty good thanks to the heat!

Thanks everyone on the compliments! I really have this board to thank for all the great ideas you guys came up with! Can't wait for the HREs.

t-bone

Very nice.

Good looking steering wheel.

And RENNTech is a good choice.

How much did you pay for your AMG emblem? Did you get the $150 one?

Yang1815

I like

so what are you getting in a year?

E55_POWER

I'm thinking maybe CLS55 or 65 if they make it.

Mr.PS

Love the wheel but I dislike the grills on all the cars except the ones it was ment for SL and CL they dont look right in my opinion on the C-E-S Class's but thats just my opinion. Love the wheel MB should make this stock on the e55.

Yang1815

AH, well at least you'll stay with MB

I'm thinking about CLK/E 500 or maybe 55...

e55 baller

E55 POWER,

VERY nice grill and steering wheel! I have the exact same grill but it is black instead of silver. I am going to change it out since yours looks better.

Where did you get the flat hood pin?

I need to get that done too. Also how much was the steering wheel? Looks like we have the same wood pattern.

BTW, I am in Leesburg, we will all have to have a 3 car meet with Peter B in NOVA somewhere.

Thanks!
