Looks like a big headache. The paintjob on my old CLK after it got hit was horrible... but then again, no one in their right mind would go to Maaco for a Merc. I am just scarred now. Yours looks GREAT though.

EDIT: Btw, I really love the wheels!

i did look at these first but i thought they mite be too small.

I'm a bit confused. What do you plan to do with your setup? What do you mean staggered fitment?

ok. the E63 has a set up like this

http://z.about.com/d/cars/1/0/s/O/gj_07mbe_E63.jpg

http://l.yimg.com/dv/izp/mercedes_be...r_rearview.jpg

and one tailpipe is slightly shorter than the other

so what i was going to do is an exhaust like that but just on one side with the 120mm tailpipes

It's difficult to say. I think that that will be really big, but I think it will look good if it's just one side.
