05 MB Komp - you do know that the bumper kit Gary is selling is not an exact match to the OEM AMG bumper on your car, right? I'm not knocking the product by any means. I am actually interested personally to see the light output of the projector fogs. But the bumper is not an exact replica.. the lower center mesh area is wider and the area/mesh around the fogs is smaller than the real AMG bumper. The real AMG bumper and the one on the 2005-2007 Sport sedans is this:
Note the differences.
See? Again, no disrespect intended - it would take a trained eye to tell, but I have one and it definitely looks off to me. I don't think it is fair to sell it as an AMG bumper or replica because it isn't. It's a look-alike that bears strong resemblance but identical it is not. I think it's a good, low cost alternative for those with the luxury models who want the AMG look (who doesn't?!) but not as a collision part to replace the real thing on the Sport Sedans and 05 MB Komp, I recommend you go OEM to preserve the look.

I can't speak for the projector fog fitting or not but I would assume so. Might want to double check. I read the whole thread waiting for someone to point out that the bumper only resembles an AMG bumper and is not a perfect match but no one did. Like I said before I think it's a great idea for those who want the AMG look on their luxury versions and/or pre-05 non-AMG cars. But a replacement for the real AMG bumper on our cars it clearly is not. The more I compare the above photos (C32 and a members C320 Lux) the more different they look.

I wasn't aware.. how does anyone get away with replicas? Again, I wasn't knocking you/it/the company - just pointing out that it is far from exact. Full disclosure.

I didn't notice that Matt!!! I kind of like the after market one better...the wider mouth reminds me of Patrick loool
j/k but on a serious note the wider mouth makes it look a little more sportier no? Or is it the stock's license plate that's in the way.
Gary got the shipment bro. Thanks for the hookup!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once I get everything on and find my missing buddy with a DSLR i'll snap some pics for you. Now if only you guys could find a 3 fin Rear Diffuser!!!

I actually like it better. I think it looks more aggressive. But it is about an inch lower than stock, so I have to be REALLY careful. Already cracked my lip a little.
But I'm also lowered.
