  3. PIAA Southern Star White H7 and HB4 5100K halogen bulbs
All awesome mods apart from the flat white star hood emblem, they are nasty things, poorly made overpriced crap, I know a guy who had one shipped to NZ, apparently they are limited editions come with a certificate to justify the price. There have been a couple of threads about them on a few Merc forums from dissatisfied buyers. Las ti heard he couldn't make them anymore because he couldn't get parts from a subsupplier anymore.

I'm ordering a Euro to US plate converter from MB to install the US plates on them, but leaves me the option to use a Euro plate mount for shows if necessary.

I also ordered a set of facelift LED tail-lights that would arrive next week. This would complete the rear-end facelift of the E55. Next up will be a full detail to polish out all the old scratches.

The following are still in store and I am working to get these done ASAP:

1. full interior LED
2. license plate LED
3. E63 front bumper conversion
4. HELLA LED DayLite (new W212 E63 style LED driving lights)
5. Carlsson lowering module
6. some OEM goodies from MBenzNL
7. E63 interior refresh
8. a-set-o'-wheels

I don't have any issue with the quality of the flat star badge. I had it on my old E55 and still looks new on the day I sold it. I'll do a flat AMG badge though when I do the E63 front bumper conversion.

Result:



1. E63-Style Trunk Spoiler from JBSpeed
2. E63 Trunk Panel (Euro Spec)

Pending Euro to US plate mount converter from MBZ:







This is used in classic Mercedes that was imported prior to the DOT mandate and should work fine even in the newer Mercedes models.
