Yea man, I work at a restaurant, basically helping the chefs. Were kinda understaffed right now, so I usually have to work every weekend. I might have a chance of getting off though

yeah i feel ya man, i worked in restaurants as both a waiter and cook for all of high school and college and that sh*t can get hectic, especially if you're understaffed. it was such a big change when i graduated college a little over a year ago and got a normal M-F job. but man i wish i was still in college, being an engineer in construction is pretty grueling. kinda like getting up at 4:30am to catch the metro and make it to work by 6

Small update....
Installed 3000k fog lights
And got my roof vinyl'd gloss black.
She's super dirty. Gonna wash her in a couple days after the vinyl settles. Let me know what you think!

Thanks Frank. Tried to see why the mesh was crooked... looks like it was bent, probably during shipment... can't really bend it back into position, feels like its gonna snap. It's getting annoying everytime I look at it now.
So I took a couple pictures today at the local walmart... here are some of the better pictures:
Next week I should have the roof spoiler on it, and some time this month I should have the CF Lip, AMG rear bumper + diffuser and AMG skirts along with new muffler tips.. I have to do more research on it but its coming.
Also... I'm considering putting the hood star back on it. Just because a lot of people keep asking me what kind of car it is, and honestly I want people to know I'm driving a Mercedes Benz right of the bat... thoughts?

i personally like the look of the star, prob gonna switch back and forth with the flat badge and cl grille. only reason i don't have it now is cause it looks dumb when you have the hood star and cl grille w/star at the same tme. i'll prob paint my stock grill black in some way and put it back on eventually. i'm thinking of doing a reverse of what you did, maybe paint what you didn't black and leave the other part chrome, just a thought
those lights look awesome man, i can't wait to get my depos! thought they were coming in this week but ups tracking says next monday

So I put the star back on, I think it looks good. Adds a little bit more class to the sporty look. Kinda mad, I just saw this flat black CL grille on eBay and it looks NASTY. Wish I had this one...

Here's a pic with the hood star back on.
My roof spoiler comes in today and this weekend I'm planning to order the carbon fiber lip and AMG side skirts from Gary. I'll keep you guys updated.

Damn bro thats some slow shipping lol. But yea man, that's gonna look sick! I'm actually gonna order the AMG skirts and rear bumper this weekend so I can get a diffuser. But before that I need to figure out what exhaust I'm gonna get... no clue which one I'm gonna go with.
And about the meet, I could actually make that one! That's a while from now so I know I'll be able to get off work. Seeing that facebook album Mike posted makes me extra eager to go to a meet

So I've been trying to figure out which exhaust I'm gonna go with... I wanted to have a dual/quad setup like many others here but there is not one exhaust shop here that will cost me an arm and a leg for the piping and labor... so I'm just gonna go with a single exhaust and find some OEM tips...
Anyways, I know Phi has Borla and I believe Karo used to have Remus... I'm looking to go with one of those two. If anyone is familiar with these two brands hook me up with some part numbers!
