Hope you enjoy. I had a tough time researching and looking through tons of pages to figure out what would work and what looked good. Thanks to everyone who has posted as inspiration for my ride! Once i've got everything completed i'll go and and take a proper photo shoot...
Out of topic, I thought you would be a knowledgeable person to ask. Can you add an x pipe to a stalk exhaust. Im new to the whole car world and would like work to build a cool car.
To the post above, yes x-pipe can go on stock exhaust. Do a search, its everywhere.
OP, I'm suprised you went for the y-style. I just ordered mine in the same look but with h-shape because y is suppossedly harder for stock mufflers (unless you are running aftermarket mufflers or your amg quad tips are also Y shaped, is this the case?) otherwise you'll just need to make sure a good exhaust shop does the job.

yes, my c63 amg tips that are on it now are y-style so these sould go on fine.
To the guy who said he had a defective splitter, It looks like your front lip was put on wrong, either upside down or is installed too low (under) the front bumper lip.
It looks like I have the same splitter, but my installer did a better job.
Which bulbs did you use for your new clear side flashers? The ones the shop put into mine don't match the bi-xenon headlights color. They are just a soft white and they also don't flash with the turn signal!

No, me and you have the same splitter if you look closely. I did get the one from maxton and it didn't fit correctly. I talked to them and they said that's just how they designed it...

i have a few things for sale. i listed them in a new thread titled "aftermarket & OEM goodies for sale". there are pics of all the items there. any way here is what i have...
1. gloss black front lip / splitter BRAND NEW! Same kind that is on my car now. Never installed, but it does have a small crack in the front of it. it can be repaired or honestly you can install it with the crack. its barely noticeable! i took a close up pic so you can see for yourself.
2. maxton design w204 front lip gloss black. brand new never taken out of the package. i personally didn't like the way this lip looked and decided to go with a different one!
3. c63 dual exhaust tips. if you followed my thread you'll know i only had these on my car for a couple weeks before i decided to change them out for e63 tips. so they're ALMOST NEW!!!!
4. OEM front grill. cam of my car with 26,000 miles.

We'll it was rubbing. I don't think it has to do with the gap but with how much my tire sticks out. It's my offset, 9.5" rims, and the width of my tires. And when 2 people are in the back of my car it was siting right on the tire and rubbing over every little bump. It was just barely not clearing to. Either I had to roll the fenders or go with a 255 tire width. GSX97 has 8.5" rim with a much thinner tires and his wheels are tucked just a tad...

thats also true I have 18x9.5 with a 255 and 100% could not fit a 265 in there. Nonetheless car looks super clean bro. Nice to see another white and black combo doing it right. One thing I did was vinyl wrap my clear side markers white and it flows super nice
