Figured I'd pass this info on as it turned out to be a great win for me....

needed new front front(yes, 2 fronts is correct..the front inner fender liners are 2pc and labeled as front front and front rear) inner fender liners for both front fenders and also the engine splash shield....my originals were shot from when i pushed the engine splash shield back on a parking curb, which pushed the front front inner fender liners on both sides back far enough that when i left the parking lot and came up to speed i could hear that they were riding on each front tire(didnt take but about 200' to burn a hole through each one)....had been putting off replacing them for a while because M-B is proud as HELL of them...found these at www.autopartswarehouse.com

first, they are NOT the same material as OEM, the stock units are very, very rigid(and brittle in my opinion) whereas these are more flexible...the fitment was PERFECT!!! all holes lined up exactly as they should have and all of the indentions for mating with the other panels was spot on as well....all in including shipping I had around $70 total in all 3 panels I got...

Wow, that's a bargain! How much does MB want for the oem ones?

jptaylor

Engine splash shield is $145.00
Fender shields are .......$214.00ea

So as best I can tell the Mercedes price of $573.00 is ROBBERY!!!!!
