Thanks to a fellow forum member, found and bought a hardtop in perfect condition, 35min from my house!
It’s Arctic Silver instead of my GT Metallic Silver, but good enough for now. Will probably repaint next summer.

Thanks! The tailights are the stock 2004 550SE lights which came on the car.

I'm actually kind of digging the two-tone look.

It looks good just the way it is. Don't get anal, then you'll start thinking about changing the rear window trim to be "S" trim to match the windshield. You're already heading down the HPDE slippery slope!

Love the hardtop. It gives the car a whole new dynamic. Like having two different cars.
What happened to your AE exhaust tip?

Thanks! I still have the AE exhaust tip along with the original muffler. The original muffler has a minor seam leak and the PO had put on a Borla. The Borla droned too much for me so I put on the Brombacher Sound version which has two fixed tips.
I also have the original side vents which I replaced with the FVD ‘turbo look’ vents. I’m refurbing a set of Aerokit I side skirts which will complete my cosmetic changes.
