Physical sciences (chemistry & physics) was smooth sailing, as was verbal reasoning. But biological sciences (organic chemistry & biology) was a bit tough, in the sense that 90% of that section was biology and 10% was organic, organic being my forte. Some of the biology passages were challenging but a lot of the questions were standalone, so regardless of how abstruse the passage was, relying on your own knowledge gets you pretty far.
Overall, positive
I'll be on AZ 24/7 now!

Unfortunately it got really dark once the bumper and lights were mounted. I'll get one of my buddies to shoot my car to really show how they look.
One thing to note: the plastic piece that goes in front of the front bumper beam/absorber had to be removed due to the bulkiness of the lighting unit. After that was removed there was ample space.
As for the tabs you see in the lower bumper openings for the OEM grilles, not sure what I want to do with them. I might just cut them off.

The phone distorts the true color of the emitted LEDs; in reality they are bright white with a hint of blue.
So after thinking about all 4 grill choices I had (E350, E550, E350 coupe, E550 coupe), I'm glad I went with the E550 coupe grill because it turned out like this...

Extremely well executed. They look better on your car than the abomination that is the W212 E. You may have mentioned it, but what are you doing with the openings left now? Black mesh?

I think it looks good as hell man...and congrats to hitting uncharted territory.
On a side note...hope ur exam went well. I know what you likely went thru all to well. Took the GMAT (for MBA) awhile back and it sucked!
