drex said you were tryna get in touch with me for the roof spoiler?, i dunno if you did, but that thing is double 3m'd to my car now lol, no one wanted to buy it at first, so i jus kept it. if your looking where to get it, it was an ebay special ftw

any chance that those scoops can be used and flipped or reversed for v6 models? or maybe create a extension or adapter to fit 272 engines? reminds me of the gruppe M intakes, would be sweet to get those on the v6's

double din is lookin shaweet.

Well frank does have me booked for a concept C32 dual intake..? My concept stemmed from gruppe-M style looks (mind you this is bolt on directly to the airbox). It won't move for shi*ts and giggles, but is an easy install/uninstall . Also, keep in mind that C32 intake tubing is quite different than C350s or 320s.

Not quite - on AMG airboxes there is a silencer portion right before the tubes connect to the main box (these aren't present on the other V6s, MY06+ included). Because of this extra part, the length and width of each scoop would be different. When I get a normal V6 we'll see haha.

So was it worth the time and patience? (I literally just got off my *** the last two days to finish this thing up...) Add up the days from my post, and that's total time I took - not the monthlong lazyness haha.

















You guys tell me.

LOL - thanks guys. I'm glad I had the patience... the next move is to make a shelving unit for the dual-din, as obviously, it has to sit pretty like in the pictures exactly the way it does now on a stand. I'm sure i'll come up with an MDF/double-sided tape solution. But before all that, i must also ask... do any of you know how to wire any of this up? .

Alas - my pitfall. Just as a note, the shade of matte matches perfectly with the shade of the top and bottom row buttons and climatronic. It's also softly texturized, like the bottom shelf unit of a stock tapedeck unit.
