Well I guess I can be the first to say that me and Tom with the E320 both bought hoods for our cars...he went with Matt with the A4 to pick them up at the shop. Excellent quality hood, have two of them sitting in my garage, most likely will install tomorrow and I will post pictures.

I'm the new guy
I'm at the site now and it's changed to $750! Was the sale only for one day? I'm thinking about getting one for the cheaper price since my soon-to-be car is black and the hood is messed up already.
....stupid me didn't read the big red words. ended on the 6th. Yesterday! ugh. I would have gotten it.

IMO, fitment on the hood is quiet important, since we drives euro car, you dont' wanna put hood lock on top of the car especially if it's red. There is a risk that the hood will pop up while driving fast on highway if fitment has problem.
IMO, the hood on mercedes is too big, it just doesn't look good. On other car yes, but MB, probably not.

i've seen erebuni kits on few w203's in person, they don't look half bad for the fitment, but just had no idea on the cf hood. wish I could've made it to the place to pick it up since it is super cheap.

I thought about buying one when they were at $125 but wasnt sure if I was going to keep the car. Still not 100% sure I will keep the car come spring, so I rather have an OEM hood just in case.

I got the car back from the shop finally. Sorry it took a while....... it's been a miserable past 2 weeks. Anyhow, I was looking at the hood and doing my homework before I dove in. Our hoods have the latches on both sides and most of the holes are drilled and threaded for everything. The only thing was that the holes for mounting the grill were not cut out or drilled. Don't know if this was intentional or if I ended up with one that they forgot to do so. Should be intersting....... any tips or should I "wing" it?
