Looking good! Amazing what a difference minor visual alterations can make to the overall appearance of the car.

Thank you! Yes I happen to agree- these cars are just SO nice in stock formation that they truly do not need much, but the little final touches.

Sorry to disappoint you

Yes, the interior is 3M CF Wrap, a much sportier (and fitting) look then wood in such a beastly car.

I like the look. Don't know that Bergenheim is what I'd call a 'celebrity' athlete though

Love the head lights. Did you have to bake them to get the light housing out to paint them?

Thanks!

Yes, the headlights were baked open, fully disassembled, painted, reassembled, and resealed.

General rule of thumb is 15 mins at 200 degrees. Good starting point at least.

I did my tundra light and it is a scary feeling putting these things in the oven. I would deff be scared with these.... You f' it up and you get hit with the AMG Retard Tax to buy a new one.
