Yeah you'll definitely need some bolts, I'm gonna put mine on in the next week or so.
Hey when you put the CF trunk spoiler on, did you use that double sided tape or did you actually drill through your trunk and secure it? I'm thinking it will look better actually screwing it on because there won't be that tiny gap from the tape, and it will be more secure.

I would not recommend drilling through your trunk, the tape does leave a small gap but its def secure on there and not that noticeable unless your right up under there. The time will come when you will take the spoiler off and than you will have to take the car in to get the holes filled and repainted. If you go the tape route, all you need is some floss and goo gone, bout 30 minutes in your garage and your ready for the next thing on the market.

Yeah I went with the double sided 3M tape.. I didnt want to do any drilling or anything like that just in case I wasnt feeling the spoiler anymore. Trust me the tape is SECURE, i was even having a hard time putting it on because even with BARELY any contact, the tape would stick like ccrraazzzyy... So yeah, 3M tape.. good to go! Its not budging or anything.

Yeah I guess that as my major concern is that I didn't want to worry about wanting to sell the car and take it off and have to repair the bumper, but I also wanted it secure, but if the tape is good enough, then I'll be good, thanks!

Whatsup MBworld!!!
Just a quick update.. I went back to HMS and they dropped the front of my car as low as they can go.. The front is slammed, and the back is already low enough!
I also went to my audio store where I got my sub woofers from.. I always wanted to get a Navi/Blue Tooth/DVD player type head unit, you know.. the big touch screen ones, since my w203 didnt come with it.. So, finally pulled the trigger and ended up getting a Sony XNV 660 BT... Its pretty nice so far.. Had to have them bypass some stuff so im able to watch DVD's on the move.. I havent taken any good pictures yet with my DSLR so, just so you guys can check it out, I took some with my iphone.. LMK what you guys think!
I have yet to put the front CF lip on, without the lip, I have only like a couple inches clearance, lol kinda scared to throw on the front lip as i know im gonna have maybe an inch clearance after that.. Eventually im gonna put it on! lol
Once the car is clean ill take better pix for you guys and post them, these will do so far i guess.

Good eye they did. Look at b4 and after pictures. Switch row too.
Aftermarket players look like poop with all that plastic on the sides. Should have gone with the aftermarket OEM one
Also the center trim needs to be Pushed down more its not flush with the ash tray

It never hurts to try!
Your very smart for taking before and after pictures. Thats why i take so many pictures of my car incase someone keys it or for insurance claims.

I am jealous of your wheels. I just ordered LM reps but my fitments off. Have you hit any issues with your 19s? also what size spacers did you end up used and whats your offset if you don't mind me asking. Also did you end up rolling the fenders? Sorry about all the questions. But wow your cars super nice.

That's exactly what I'm planning to do with my C230 sedan in Mars Red. I found a grill though that came from the CL class that looks very similar to that of the new C300's with the big Mercedes star on the grill. How much were your carbon fiber lip and spoiler?
