Pics of my new mods!

13% tint all around, color coded sidemarkers, H&R springs / Bilstein Sport combo, and black badging. OH yeah, and some mother ****ing ***** *** jackass hit me too....









Custom black badges. AMG one was bought on ebay, the E55 was done homemade



Dig the tint? 13% all around baby!


197 color coded sidemarkers. 48 hours old. $50. One is missing and believed to be somewhere on the roadway still....



What was left on the road...

Are you going to get an aftermarket front buper, like Brabus,Loriser or something else? That really sucks about your car, but maybe with the insurance money you will be able to get some cool mods.
Good luck

I feel your pain. Cars out there seem to just look for people to hit. Glad you're ok.

4 wheeled car.
I was at a stop light, about to make a right. To my left is a guy in a work pickup truck. He's on the only lane other than my turning lane. He can only go straight. Then he goes straight through the light and turn right and clipped my side and front.

Tomorrow Im getting a 325i bmw rental for about a month or so. Oh well, I'll get a rock chip free front end.

Do you guys think I should ask them to do a full respray of the car since it can be hard to match the paint? (obsidian black) or I should just get the fender/hood/bumper done?

If you have mods but didn't insure it and get in an accident where it's the other guys fault, does the other guys insurance have to reimburse you for the cost of replacing what was damaged or only to factory?

Yes they have to give you your mods back. Restore the status quo. Put you back to where you were before. You had mods, then they gotta get you those mods.


Alex, I wanna get the Brabus CF like Rich, or the Carlsson lip...but I dunno where to find either ones
