If you can produce a different set of clear side markers, different from those of Derspeed, please do post a separate thread so that I can take a look along with others on the forum. If yours looks better, I'll buy it from you, especially if you can offer it at a better price.

Just a note though: Derspeed is NOT making these markers. He's just the intrepid pioneer who sought out and acquired these first.

Guys, this is not my business. I was looking around, found these and decided to let everyone know about them. There are members who do things to their cars and won't share the who, what, where info. I am going to share as much info as possible. That what this so fun.

Anyway, if I were personally trying to sell stuff here (which I may at some point), I would be a sponsor or I would have put them in the classifieds.

Caddy, I am not mad at anyone. I suggested you start your own thread, to avoid any confusion.

Hi Bryan,

Thanks. We should have BOTH the CLEAR and the SMOKE version coming out early June.

If you want to organize a Group Buy, I guess we will do that. But I can't give you a set date yet.

Btw, from the photo, you have the AMG C63, right?

The LED Tail for the W204 is under development now, but it's gonna take months.

And if someone can supply or let us borrow the gauge cluster, we can make the white or silver gauge face like the ones we have for the BMWs (on eBay).

We do have some Aluminum Pedals for Mercedes.

Regards,
Lee
Here it is again.

Great looking side markers

This is my first post on the forum and I just this post about the side markers. I would like to get my hands on a pair for myself. I have a MARS RED C350 and would make it look cleaner if all the lens were all of the same shade... isntead of having an ugly orange color on the side.

THOSE LOOK GREAT!!!

I just heard from him today. 1 - 2 weeks. He said they will have AMG pedals too. I didn't know there was a demand for those.

Count me in for a set of clears.
Since most of us have the sport model, the AMG pedals wouldn't be in much demand, except if we can get a matching dead pedal.
I've asked some sellers on eBay and they are not willing to sell just the dead pedal.

I've been looking around/posting about a matching dead pedal for days! Very interested in hearing more about this. Hopefully it's a relatively easy DIY project.

EDIT:

I wonder if the above would work, and how one might install them...? Ideas?

I'm sure most of us has OEM or aftermarket floor mats. The driver's side floor mat does cover the area where the dead pedal is located. On my last car I simply took 2" industrial strength velcro (available at any Home Depot), stuck one side to the back side of the pedal and the other side I riveted it to the floor carpeting (the mats did not cover the dead pedal area). On our mats you could rivet it to the mats themselves.
The velcro allows you to remove the deadpedal if need to clean/vacuum the carpeting/mats behind it (that area does accumulate a lot of dirt).
