Update...pictures
Here's an update. Haven't been on this forum for quite some time. Changes i've made... no more 19s and got carbon fiber hood. Raised the front coil overs by 1.2 inch, rear coil overs are still at the lowest settings. Enjoy.

that looks very clean.
i love the new look.
what type of wheels did you have on before?
maybe a before and after comparison?
also, have you thought about getting a euro teck front lip and maybe get rid of the front plate? i just got my holes repatched and entire bumper repainted - it looks super clean (i will post pics soon).=

Thanks for the comment. About the Euro Teck Front Lip, i was on the top 20 list but didn't pay on time. I thought the first 20 would be guarantee a purchase, but unfortunately, it was whoever paid first.
Wheels i had before were 18" and 19" Lorinser LM6 reps. You can find my old pictures here https://mbworld.org/forums/classifieds/150364-lorinser-19-sale.html
As with the front plate, i'm just too lazy to take it out.

Yea, it wouldn't fit properly at all!!! Had to take it to a body shop to shave some residue underneath the carbon fiber to make it fit. Other than that, everything was ok.

Anyway, it is a nice ride you have there !

To adjust the coil overs height, only had to remove the wheel. Tein gives you two keys in which you turn to lower or raise a car. Takes no longer than 10 minutes.

Bad luck with 19s i guess. Hit 3 different pot holes driving on the freeway at night. Burst all 3 tires within 5 months. Didn't want to spend additional money on 19" tires.

How much lighter is the CF hood?

I'm not sure... but let's just say that when opening the hood, the shocks opens that thing like there's no tomorrow. I mainly bought it for looks.
