kudos to you for stripping down the attachment pieces, cleaning them up and polishing.
You were able to reuse some of the rocker panel fasteners?
btw, for the rocker panel covers, I have a leftover roll of 6" wide clear vinyl and applied it to some newly painted ML55 rocker panels (15" long at both ends for rock chip prevention) I swapped onto the ML500 last year summer. It's held up with no issues and bonded with no peeling. I plan to do the same onto the C230K rocker panel covers in the late Spring.

Im not done yet.
Rock chips will be done last before ceramic coating. Ive only done left side and hood so far. Hood could be better but its already way nicer than what it was.
I dont run spacers. I have 265/30/18 in the rear and 225/40/18 front

I put in pretty thick spring pads last year. I used to ride with no spring pads up front at all. I think Ill put the thinnest ones in.
This was the car when it was low.

Man with the cold weather I just havent been abke to work on the car but finaly had a nice day and had some time today. Front clip(minus the bumper)and whole left side are done and ceramic coated.
The rest of the car needs a quick polishing pass than will ceramic coat it also
Im gonna detail the wheels and steam clean the seats when done.

Nice job on the paint correction...it really smoothes out the paint...now ceramic seal that depth....
