just picked up my E350 from dealer

love it already but the TL still has a special place in my heart was going to trade it in but i think im going to keep both

and even tho its a 3.5L V6 it doesnt feel as powerful as the TL's 3.2L

90% of those are the Sport version. Hardly anybody ordered the Luxury model.

Looks nice. I've always liked the looks of that generation E-class. But yeah, why keep both?

i hope you did your homework before buying a used car thats murdered out

imo, the grille and tails really work here. are there aftermarket tails that are tinted on the inside? if so, i would look into those.

Looks good but I'm always confused when they do tails like that, why leave the clear? It doesn't make sense that the least useful tail light (reverse lights and prolly blinkers in your case) aren't blacked out but the important ones, brake lights and sometimes blinkers are.

What happens if I rear end you, can I claim I couldn't see your brake lights? Just something to think about

i got it from certified preowned mecrcedes dealer it was 1 owner lease only has 18K miles on it

the grille and taillights were stock when i picked up i had them both done to try an get the murdered look.. their stock taillights with the tint on the outside

their stock MB LED brake lights and i left the third brake light thats built into the trunk tintless so you can see that im stoped.. i made the choice to keep the reverse and blinkers clear because they arent LEDs and if i had that dark tint over them you wouldnt see them

IMO, leaving the white parts of tailights not tinted makes for a really nice contrast.

+1. But I think you need to tint the third brake light to keep it the rear lights uniform. And the E350 looks good BTW.

Nice what kind of tint is on the tails? I had static cling tint 20% on my 5 series and someone ripped it off. If you got it done do you mind telling how much you got it done for?
