Hello from Beirut!

pfft yeah right. Hello from Cali. I figured the politics buff would jump in my thread with this title lol. Gotcha suckas!

I haven't been around here for a while, well at least not actively posting, but I keep an eye around. How's everyone? Still rocking Diesels and pissing on each other's political point of views? haha ok ok I kid I kid!!

I finally graduated from college and now am looking to start real life. I have a bunch of job offers, ranging from carrying a gun and a badge to writing estimates for car repair costs. PRetty broad if you ask me! But whatever pays well and keeps me entertained is what matters!

Anyone have a job in SoCal for a fresh Business grad? International Bus Management concentration cmon!

I've been modding the E55, as always, never stopping! Here are the latest pics. As you can see I have a carbon fiber hood, which has been partially painted, to reveal the weave in the dips. That's about the biggest latest change.

Hope everyone's doing well!

Yours Truly:








and yes my front windshield is tinted. In the last pic there is me and my buddy in the car, both wearing bright white shirts. Can you see?

Please, no comments regarding the stickers, they are only on for shows. I hate them as much as you do

yes early today indeed

Lastest mods... let's see..reverted from Schatz front grill (which is essentially the entry level european grill) to the avantgarde grill (ie. stock). Re-cleared the front brabus carbon fiber lip which was pitted by rock chips really bad, carbon fiber hood, resprayed the entire front clip and had 3m clear bra applied to the front and mirrors.

Also, not seen on the pics, european convex glass for the mirrors which eliminates all blind spots. I could drive in heavy traffic and switch lanes withouth ever having to look over my shoulder. Had it on my E320 and loved it. Feels safer with this thing! But I still look over to double check

And finally 32% front winshield tint to keep it gangsta

Coming up next (in 2-3 weeks) European trunk lid.

I'm also working on the W211 E320 (dad's). So far I retrofitted real AMG exhaust tips (off CLK55 W208). Next, lowering, then wheels.

My next project will be an A_R_T G500 (or G55K if I feel rich). I can't wait (but I'll have to...a year or two...).

Work in progress, that car just keeps gettin better

Your E55 looks S I C K.

Have you ever had that car on a dyno?

Damn I bet it feels good to floor it with a clear road and no traffic or cops ahead. What it is.

It's always good to see your posts too.

Those are the wheel stands you usually see at tire shops, but I have them because I am sponsored by Michelin, so I have to promote the brand by doing so
