Muffler delete on a M271.. doesn't that make it sound like a pissed off bumble bee in a empty coke can?

Damn, lighten up.

You should think about either painting or buying pre-painted door handles; it makes a big difference in how the car looks - you'd be surprised.

Question - where did you get the clear coupe headlights? They're a tough find!

LinDenKid: What is wrong with being told to search eBay? I'm not understanding the sudden influx of members who want others to do their searches for them, narrow the results for them, and hand it over. As Frank says.. "spoon feeding".

Dr. Fox: Definitely search eBay. Stuff changes daily on there and although I don't have a coupe I understand your frustration.. I've heard that the clear headlights on the coupe are a difficult find. Good luck.

Yes, I have searched eBay, but as lindenkid said coupe parts are a pain to get a hold of, particularly lighting. I was just looking for a point in the right direction. What is it with people and this "spoon feeding" thing? It seems like there's a fine line between that and being helpful on this forum...
