was your car ordered with option code 666 (ghost on pasenger seat)?
seems like that.... or it was retrofitted, check the history ;-)

Justin,

Your car looks Good. To bad I sold the carlsson 2/6 and the AMG aero 2pcs before we tried on your car.

but this 1/6evo looks perfect in your car IMO. By the way did you adjust the Self leveling after you took off the spring pad??

ps: I might have extra pair 10mm carlsson spacer for the front, If i find them i'll call you.

YNVDIZW124 · 09-21-2009, 03:44 PM

Good choice..

....I have some murdered out 1/6 evos, I might end up putting them on my c class... if you have to change them i would get something with more lip all around...

Hey Nelson is that pic at Laguna Hills Mall? Looks familiar

jgajito · 09-21-2009, 04:14 PM

Carlson were a good choice, but they're popping up all over the place like the Brabus 6-star replica's. The AMG 5-Star Split Spoke black chrome is pretty original. It's always hard to find the perfect wheel.

battlecat714 · 09-25-2009, 10:53 PM

The lights yes. Not the signals though, they were clear and one was busted. If you remember, I had a thread about the smoked ones I bought. They were wired up completely wrong too. No h4 bulbs and the city lights came on when the headlights should have. Not to mention the foglights were completely disconnected without bulbs also. You should have seen the lame mesh grill when I got it.

EDIT: Found pics from the ebay auction...

appatula · 09-26-2009, 01:23 PM

Wow. Thank you for saving the poor thing!@!$#

Looks so sweet....I love 500E's

speedworksusa · 09-26-2009, 02:04 PM

looks good. I had some Carlsson 3/6 on mine too before the OZ wheels.

jgajito · 09-26-2009, 03:23 PM

Are you keep the original wheels? 8-hole Ronals.. were they 16's.

ZorroAMG · 09-26-2009, 03:58 PM

Only thing I dislike is those headlights look super cheap on a 500E. It's ok on a ricer 300E like mine, not on a 500E haha

LOL. They look ok for temporary lights, there's a pair of OE 500e lights on ecstasy right now, btw.

Yes I am keeping the stockers. If I ever sell the car (unlikely) I want to be able to convert it back to stock.

If you're talking abotu LexLuther's set, I talked to him a couple months ago about the set. It includes everything to mke the ights right, inudig the ajusment switches inside the car and the panels cut for them. I'm just not ready to spend $1200 on headlights.

Headlights are definitely on the to-do list, though I will probably settle for Depo's.

spare wheel for $135 shipped

The 19s look fantastic, I love the sig pic.

bluecoupe · 09-30-2009, 12:03 AM

You found a nice set of wheels for the 500e... Carlsson 1/6's are worth holding on to also.

I have a spare set of e500 headlights - if you ever plan on doing a hood swap, let me know...

there is no settling when you have a 500E. btw, not bashing your car/lights but with experience those lights suck. they get all foggy/oxidized and the output sucks....not to mention the fact that you could completely destroy the lights when adjusting them. i know you didnt buy them and they came with the car but just giving you a heads up and to everyone else who's thought about them.

on the plus side, those rims look sweet.
