Are you thinking of getting Mtech yet?
Only if it comes in chrome.

Here it is. I didnt wash it and its dirty but you get the idea. I love it!!

-HID fogs - once the car was jacked up and the wheels were off it was so easy. Took 5 mins per side after i took the annoying screws out of that black matting. Its day time and i can already tell how amazing the fogs are. Thanks a lot BRABUSW209AMG. The hids and the plate leds look great and i recommend anyone who hasnt got them to get them through John. (still waiting on the angel eyes)
-I think it could be lowered a little maybe but i still think it looks great! Here are some pics: (flame away chrome haters)

Ok this is something im going to talk about now.

The orange eyebrow lights add AMAZING color contrast to the headlights and fogs. I love the orange eyebrows. The "ultimate eyebrow" was cool to me at first but when there is no contrast everything flows together and doesnt look as good. I think it looks way better when you have that orange there to remind you how good those head and foglights really do look.

Color contrast. Every thing you do should have color contrast. Its a basic concept in style (cars, clothes, houses, etc.) You guys getting black e60s with black wheels and shadowline trim just looked retarded. the entire car flows together and is stupid. Have you ever seen a good looking house that is all one color? No. Color contrast is everything. Say what you want about the chrome but does almost every luxury car come with chrome accents? Yes. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but just because the white knights around here push shadowline trim and polished wheels doesnt make it the only option.

When i sat down and looked into modding my car i wanted a theme. White black and chrome. the only color you will find on my car is the red tails and the amber headlights. I decided today after i put everything on that the red part on the tails will be tinted. Everything will fall into the theme that I was going for.

PS. we all talk about how we dont want to "rice" or make our car look "gangsta/ghetto" and you people are putting stickers on some of most beautiful headlights made.

without sounding insulting, i think they were trying to say.................... That those rims/wheels are horible! I really dont think chrome was the issue.
