Nice job Dave
but I would stay with the black grill rather than get the CF one.
The hood and tinted tails look amazing.

I followed your lead on the mirrors and painted them black
I'll post some pics this weekend. I also blacked out my foglights with vinyl but the Philips Crystal Vision 4300k bulbs suck bigtime and I have to wait with the install until I find better bulbs. I need some 6000k or 8000k bulbs

CF including the top part on the hood!
need some feedback on possible direction - once I will paint the top of the grill black the look would be solid black. This would be one option - the other option i am looking at is getting a CF grill as per attached pics. Any thoughts here as to what direction might look better?

Matt, thanks man. Yes CF madness rules! Post pics of the mirrors. I actually think this makes the car look great and gets rid of the ugly (IMHO) chrome and clear lens. Get some LEDs from AZN - I used 8000K in them and they work great.
Thanks for feedback.
Thanks for the kind words!

They correct size is 57mm but i have yet to find a actual hood emblem that is this size. So I opt'd to get wheel cover sticker and place on hood. The one in the pics is 56mm and there are 57mm ones out there as well in AMG colored fruit salad look. Hopefully someone will make a proper AMG emblem in 57mm in near future.

I have seen a VIS and indeed the weave is not perfect. Based on my experience with StoneCarbon I would venture to say that his weave will be good. That said, i have never seen his trunk. I think Super just ordered his trunk so he should be able to give feeback on SC trunk. Not a fan of chrome so that makes no difference to me.
