Can anyone post an E class with blacked out grill? I'm thinking to do so, or not!

SSpray

I was thinking of doing something along the lines of this, to mine, just to keep it looking different from the others.

I think that's a photoshop. Look at the lights.

SSpray

It is.
I made it to help me decide my game plan.

vraa

Ohh okay. I wouldn't do that to the headlights. I'd rather have eye-lids. I have a softspot for menacing looking sleepers.

SSpray

I was thinking about smoking the headlights, just a LITTLE, to put a hint of darkness in them.

vraa

What about putting those one way translucent covers?

If you do it right, I bet it'd look WICKED cool at night. You could also put in some very dim red LED's in key points in the car so at night, well you can let your imagination run wild!

Smoking the headlights might dim your output, but like you said, if just a little, I doubt anything bad will come.

I too was thinking of the amg 65 wheels for my obsidian black E55. Looks hot. Do you have a photoshopped pic from the side????

SSpray

Just now made this one for you

I acctually asked about 65 amgs 19s rimz and they told me the offset is different and it wont fit, but it looks hot tho!

SSpray

Just paint the stock wheels and polish the lips.
That was my plan...

BoBcanada

good idea!

Nah, I'd want the bolts. You can get the normal 3-piece AMG rims from the dealer and have them paint the centers the color of the 65 series wheels. At least thats what my dealer said he'd do for me. Plus its cheaper. But the SL65 wheels do in fact fit on the E class. There was a post by someone selling them a while back. The CL's however, I don't believe will fit.

SSpray, you are the man. Thanks much!

Actually, I was looking at doing the same thing (blacking out the grill).

Could someone do a photochop to the front of my car and black out the grill so we could see what it would look like?

BoBcanada

we could do it together and get a discount !

vrus

Sounds good to me.. I deal with the Mercedes Benz in Aurora.. They have a great service department and the managers are awesome there. I know them well.

BoBcanada

OK i'm not the BEST photoshoper but i tried

EDIT: this is a really ghetto PH hahaha :rofl:

BoBcanada

Ok here's a better one i guess!

i like it!

SSpray

Vrus,

For mine, I was thinking instead of blacked out, I was going more for the black chrome look.

vrus

That looks pretty cool!!! The picture on my website shows the emblem on the hood, but I since then put the flat hood emblem like your photochop.

I think I am going to black out the grill and try and find a way to get rid of the chrome accents in the bumpers. I prefer the clean black look rather than having chrome strips in the bumpers.

Thanks for the photoshop jobs guys!

///M e55

black grills are unbeleivably hot.

00SVTdubs

since you guys are so good at photoshopping... can you do this for me? I just want the black E55 on the pervious page silver. So the car silver but leave the wheels how they are. Thanks

Watch out if you're going to have the chrome on your impact strips painted. Two reasons. First, if you do it and don't paint the chrome trim anywhere else on the car, you're going to have an 0ff-balance paint job and somethings gonna look screwy. The second reason is that a tech. at CEC (which is a pretty damn good bodywork shop) was telling me how incredibly hard it is to paint those strips let alone take them off. Make sure you find someone good to do it if you get it done. Other than that, good luck and I can't wait to see it!
