donno but i need to paint my strips .. it looks sharper when the ext color is 1 tone.
oem clear corners will only be about 30 bucks more than the replicas on ebay. and its worth it, perfect fitment.
the avantgarde grill is an insert, you still use your original existing grill frame, just unscrew the old insert out for the new one. it cleans up teh front big time, you wont see any of those lil waffle shaped grates or anything

Yea, the body shop must have painted the bumper the same color as the rest of the bumper...strange. Surprisingly, no one has told me "hey, that don't match"...lol.
As for the cleaniness, that was nearing the end of the snow season, so I washed it then took that picture while it was all clean and waxed...
I wish my car was that clean now.

my 95 C280 is pretty much the same configuration as GDawgC220.....the car had it's front bumper replaced (fewnder bender a few months after it was bought according to carfax) and it was clor matched silver (vents and lip)....trying to get some $$$ to extend that to the rest of the car....do you think that I should also do the grey side strips and bumper strips body color too?

Don't worry, the gray **** will come back in style again. As far as the clear turn signals go, GET OEM!!! (go ahead and read that last sentence again) My $20 ebay ones suck. I had to do a ton of filing and snipping to make them fit. Listen to Rincewind about that kind of stuff. He has done replica and OEM grill and he can tell you all about it.
