Couple pix of my ride finally........
I was looking forward to taking an S-load of pix but am disheartened by the rock chips and broken foglight I found this morning. I wanted to at least show the change of the grill and the addition of the roof spoiler. 750 miles, picked up on Feb 1 and the front end already looks like a Rally car as of this am:

grill before:



grill after paint and unfortunately last nights driving:
also has "chrome" corner bulbs



roof spoiler:



and my favorite mod to date. LED plate light conversion:

I drove it on the Mass Pike. The weather had dropped and they salted the SHlT out of the roads. All I was doing was driving normal. It looks like I drove right behind a sander for christs sake. The only thing I can think of is that the paint wasn't very hard. I just had all that work done. Grill, roof spoiler and I had the bumper redone to get rid of the holes from the front plate bracket that the deler had installed. Either way, it will be back in the shop TOMORROW. I can't deal with that. Also, I can't believe how awesome the LED plate lights look. Got multiple compliments last night in the city. Savage, I don't know how much yet. I had my body shop order it direct from the local MB dealer.

Do you get any error messages for the LED bulbs? If not, how did you do it?

thanks
