It's hit or miss for the xenon=present. Mine didn't work straight off the bat without the setting. It may malfunction at any time if you don't have it set, but some people have gone without it.

I had lots of problems with mine. Also there is something to do with the programming with the ECU and the amount of watts. My depos also started to burn under the projector..

now gotta keep goin' with the project, next on the list: brabus quad exhaust!
i'll get some of those side pics for ya jeff

Hahaha that's awesome yo
I haven't been on here in forever but just to give a little update since I'm on my phone right now, I'll put pics up tomorrow but since I've been on, I got the resonator and secondary cats deleted, and I put the cf spoiler on. I've already cf wrapped the interior panels.
Next on the list is a big project that I will write more about later...
Hope everyone is doing well and I'm looking forward to seeing how everyone's cars are looking

So I've finally made it back on here. Had a busy winter...weddings, snowboarding trips, vacations, etc. Hadn't really done much with the car since the summer is where I can really have fun with it.
Took it down the street to the park and snapped a few shots of what it looks like today. I sold the black Brabus reps about a month ago to some guy Tyrone in Blacksburg, VA and put the stock wheels back on for now. I had 10mm hubcentric Eibach spacers up front and the steering wheel was (very very miniscule) shaking juuuuust a little bit, but the good ole Mercedes smooth just wasn't there anymore and I got tired of it. I'll just save up and get a nice quality pair of BBS wheels or something this summer.
Anyway, here's my current list of what's been done and what is coming:
Completed:
-CF front lip
-CF trunk spoiler
-black CL grille and flat hood badge
-black depo headlights
-clear corners with PIAA Xtreme White bulbs (to replace with LEDs soon!)
-AZN Optics LEDs everywhere except license plates, I had 36mm festoons in there but the left one kept burning out so I just put the old bulbs back until I could figure out the issue, maybe I need 37mm...
-CF wrapped center console (thanks to MBFinatic!), pics below
-secondary cat and resonator delete
-K&N filters
Upcoming:
-CF wrap the door panels to match
-Muffler to replace stock, looking at Delta 50 by Flowmaster
-Powder coat stock wheels gloss black, even when I get a new set it will still be nice to have these for winter tires or something
-CF wrap roof
-CF rear diffuser
-HID fog lights to match headlights and LEDs
-possibly headers, maybe a turbo project
-Just got all 4 rotors and pads for replacement since rotors are worn, Disc Italia drilled and slotted all the way around and Akebono ceramic pads, going to do this next weekend
Anyway, it's good to be back on the forum, hoping to check out what everyone's done so far.

Thats a nice shift boot/knob and trim plate! If you don't mind me asking, what is the dimensions of the plate that the shift boot is connected to on your sedan? I have a coupe and found a nice one for a sedan and was wondering if it would fit my car
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

Sorry to get back to you so late man. I'm not sure of the exact dimensions but I can check it out when I get home from work tonight. Just estimating, I would say it is about 4" wide by 6" long.
