Arrow 500E lights from Germany installed w your help

Cost me close to $800, but I think then euro lights are well worth it. Every time I look at it, it feels like it's a different car. What do you think?

Oh, 1st pic is the old stock lights.

Hey, how are you? It was you the master technician who gave me all the necessary info. Other guys recommended upgrading my wheel to 16, 17 or 18, but with the grey trim on the bottom I think the stock 15 's don't look that bad. Color-coding the lower grey panel to black made the wheel look much smaller than now. Plus, can't justify spending more money now, after spending $600 last month on the smog pump and plus the recent alternator.

Roll the fenders as in 500E/E500 flare fenders? And that labor would be less than $800? I thought it would be much more. I got the H & R sport springs and paid $400 parts & labor.

225 with 18's would change the overall stance of the car, and it will definitely look sick.

Good luck with that and post pics afterwards.

Well, so far so good. I like it
It looks lowered already, I see some negative camber in the rear. Might want to also invest in some speedybenz camber arms when the time is right. Good luck on the future upgrades!

You need to add a straight-on "after" shot similar to pic #1. Can't really tell much from the sides and far away. This is a change that I would be interested in doing so I'm very interested to see better pics.

Yal no not like e500 that would be to expensive u can do this for 50$ by ur self just go rent the rolling tool and it should take u a day work 150$ each fender by some one else i believe what i mean just roll the inner part of the fender if i was to lower mine right now with 225s it would rub so i gotta roll the inner part of the fender so that it doesn't rub as for wide fenders it would cost u around 1000$ to get it done in the shop maybe even more i don't know if e500 fenders will fit on 300E's any one ?
