I'll take some better pictures over the weekend but I wanted to share some shots I took of things, which I don't think was there before. Heat shield under the hood? AMG stamp on the muffler?

What better place than here to let you guys confirm it.

Take a close look at my front hood, I have a feeling it's not align right. There is a large gap in the front.

funny part is that it was on my 04 C230 (built 7/03) but not on my 04 C32 (built 4/04)

i thought it was there because it is right above the M271's headers.

Haven't had time to take some nice photos, but hopefully soon.
