Body kit
Looking to upgrade my front bumper, rear bumper and possibly side skirts to achieve a more aggressive look - but not sure what to do as I currently have the luxury/standard edition body. I'm torn between the following:
A) just order the full AMG replica body kit off of eBay...just not sure of which brand to go with -- ex. Selma , Vaero , or other no namr...
B) upgrade to sport edition front bumper, rear bumper and side skirts and apply C63 diffuser and GH front lip -- reason this is B) is because I'm not sure if the sport edition pieces will fit directly on my car...
What would you reccommend?

Sport editions will fit on your car, buy OEM. AMG style will fit, BUT you will have to buy new fenders AND a hood to fit the bumpers. Then you will have to worry about modifying your air intake because the AMG body is a bit longer and your air intake won't reach. So as black said above, go with Sport OEM.

Any suggested sites for purchasing bumpers?
And what about sideskirts? Will I need to purchase sport edition as well or can I use the luxury/standard sideskirts on currently?
Thanks for answering the fitment question - even my dealer would not answer if the sport front/rear bumpers would fit my model...

Sport/lux is all interchangeable. You don't need to change skirts if you don't want.
I don't know any sites but the dealer should be able to sell you it. It will cost more $$$ from them.

Looking to definitely do the rear bumper first so I can add the square tips -- but what about the diffuser?
I read somewhere that finding one that is direct plug/play is not easy....
Any input as to what diffuser and where to purchase?
