Making It My Own
GF modeling the car for me
Rims, Clear sidemarkers, red calipers, star
Picked it up from getting the audio done. Four 10s in the trunk as of right now. Getting some more work done to it later on. The lights will be able to change to any color I want. If anyone lives in Fort Worth, these are my go to guys.
Showing off the Illuminated star. It looks ALOT brighter in pics, but in person it has a very subtle light glow.
Few things I'll be doing
-Custom License plate on the way
-Paint top part of grill black (leave the chrome) or swap out for the single bar grill. Havent fully decided what I want to do yet. Maybe a Tiarra Grill for a chrome mesh look
-Custom tail lights
-Few extra things in the trunk.

That star is hotness. I've been thinking about doing it. Is there much involved with installation? Car looks real good man. Keep the mods comin'. I think you should go with single bar grill. The illuminated star works with it I hope?

I've been looking for an after-market single fin grille that will work with the MB lighted star for W207/A207. None yet fit. I am working with Jason at 55Tech with hopes of getting a custom solution.

Thanks man! I couldn't tell you cause I let them take care of everything to be honest. If something breaks, I know I'm not responsible for it lol.

Do you know why it won't fit? Single fin has a larger star or ??? I haven't looked into it at all, was just hoping everything would mesh up perfectly

The illuminated MB Star is the entire center 'basket' of the grille which is not the same as the center part of the after-market grille. You can't just swap them out. Also be aware that if you have distronic your out of luck using the star.
