Yes I will drill holes in the trunk. 1 for the wire and 2 for the bolts that hold it in place . You have drill for the high stop light to make the wiring is long enough for it to run to the rear of the trunk.

the e-brake and brake just pull off, the gas pedal comes as an assembly. You slide the cover off the new one and put it on your old one.
parts are $50, do a search for part numbers.

I contacted mb about this spoiler a while back but they could not find the part number, I know of two c36 and one genuine c55 locally that have it but wondered if there was a different spoiler between the the update/preupdate boot as there is one for sale locally with no third light and is apparently only suitable for the pre update boot

Believe or not, back in January my old company "LeMans Body & Paint" sold their shop to Caliber Collision, and now for some (Amazing & positive outcome) the place I am at will serve basis as one of 3 Los Angeles based area Mercedes-Benz of Beverly Hills automotive repair facility. So longstory short, i have been very busy at work, but I am planning on joining the Las Vegas drive the end of this month I want to install it before then, so maybe I wont be able to sell it to you. but I can keep it safe If I ever part out the car or sell it (Which i likely won't) but want to keep your hopes up. i only kid.

Sounds like things have worked out well for you look forward to seeing it mounted!. I have done Las Vagas to San Diego before in a rental Toyota.. not quite as fun as the C43 haha.
I would have liked a shinny new one...but there is a used 744 here for sale so I will try snap it up
