Congratulations. Looks good. Can I ask which source you bought the clear corners from? Bekkers?

Go with a Bekker's grille, it's about $100 plus shipping. One thing though, it's the grille insert and that is what you are replacing. Kinda hard to remove, I scratched mine when I did the swap. Also, b/c your car is silver I would paint my grille to match before you installed. I was lucky that my car is black.

I am planning on taking out the OEM grill and painting it silver to match the car and I get my 2 air filters today in the mail, then a flat star soon to come. I was thinking about getting some AMG door sills (they light up when the door opens). And some lowering springs to get rid of the 4-finger gap. Oh and a nice tint also.

DLS~ Do the AMG door sills light up when you open the door? if so how did you do the wiring? Tap it to the pop up button on the door jam?

Mine dont lite up. That blue color light they use doesnt match my car that well. I am sure you could change the light, who knows? As for install, I would think tapping into the door jam lite seems most logical.

Is that the one from Brumos in Jacksonville? If so, glad someone finally gets to enjoy that one- they've been advertising for months, but the C43 doesn't seem to be as popular in this area. I've only seen 1 other... congrats, you'll enjoy
