Question about performance products

I just purchased a '05 230K, and I want to do a few modifications. I'm new to this so I'm doing the small things first. I'm interested in the chrome headlamp and taillight rings, and I was going to order the ones by GAP from Performance4benz. I just want to known if these products are as suitable as the products directly from Mercedes, and which set of taillight rings work for the 230K? Thanks.

You actually want the chrome rings? Are you joking around?

I have ordered a few items from www.performanceproducts.com. The products that I ordered were received on time and the quality of the products were excellent.
Congrats on your new ride.

I wasn't being rude man.... I honestly thought you might be sarcastic in your post....... they sell those things on ebay and stuff.... hey... to each his own ! Performance Products has been around for a LONG A$$ TIME...... I used to shop from their catalog when I had a 190. Order with confidence I think they are a sponsor now aren't they?
