What a difference a weekend makes
Saterday morning Darth looked like this.
Took my wife to the dentist while in the parking lot I changed all the 194's (except the side markers) to Polarg M4's also changed out the amber turns and low/highs with Hellas. Then a stop at the body shop to pick up the freshly painted parts before heading to the tinters. Early Sunday the fun begins and ends many hours later.
I'm back.
All I really need to do on the outside (other than clean) is black out the chrome around the windows and LEDs. Just need it to get a bit warmer.

I love days like that when you have mods that are really easy and it makes your day. Great job and one question what do you use to tape the chrome?

Auto Zone stocks it by a company called Pilot. It is almost the same as MB's font just a little larger. Held on with double sided tape just like MB's. At a buck a letter it isn't bad. Tint is 50 front 35 rear

You know the chrome stripe that is hanging on the doors down low, are they just like debading, and for the Avatgarde marker and the Elegance and blue eff emblems on the fron bumper are they also like debadning?
Btw looking good. Like your mods black on black. What do you think about black and gray?

Looks great - not sure about the cleaning reference, looks spotless also....
Did you use the blackout tape on the chrome strip above the rear license plate or have that painted? If that is the tape...I'm in.
Can you post a close up of the rims? Curious about the red center cap and pinstripe also, not sure if it is totally badass or if it detracts from the overall black look.

Saw it in person yesterday. These pictures don't do Darth any justice. Looks awesome, especially the back end. When those rims are moving with the LED DRL's and the new grille, this thing looks badass!
Here is a picture of my SL style grille I picked up from him and installed.
