My C43 finally came in (pics inside)
Here it is after 5 weeks of talking with the dealer in FL.
More pics to follow later. My first mod: The clear corners, K&N's go in today.

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.

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
