well... ya gonna pretty much needa get the lorinser ones for $400/set... it connects using the stock harness and plugs, which you'll basically have to rip it out of the stock foglights to get...

i still say... i got the best deal of all for the bumper...

by the way, you can get all Lorinser products through CEC Wheels in West LA, they are the US Distributors. check their site out, just www before and .com after their name... It's $400 a set with bulbs

But, if you are interested in a used set, my buddy's body shop might have a set laying around... email or PM me and i'll check it out for you if you are interested.

It was the autoblz kit, and Steve did a really good job on it. Considering it was the new material GPFRP the fit was almost perfect, the sides were a little off though only minor modification was needed. No cutting of the bumper or major bondo was necessary.

CLK22 are you just gonna put the front bumper on with the AMG sideskirts, or are you going to try to get the lorinser sides and rear bumper. IMO the lorinser rear is the best one on the market.

Im probably gonna just put the front bumper on the car. What fog lights did use on ur bumper, who installed (wiring wise) them and how did they wire up were they direct fit. how big are they and do u think that they will fit the lorinser bumper. Also did you get the evosport side marker covers or did you just have steve paint your orange reflector ones.

clk22 i bought lorinser foglights and used piaa bulbs. Rader motorsport in dedham installed the bumper for me, i'm sure it was a direct fit because the lights are specifically made for the bumper. Check ebay for the foglights. Umm no steve did not paint my orange reflectors, the carlsson kit does not have holes in the impact strip for the markers, and so I told steve to leave it like that and just not use the sidemarkers at all. I think it looks better that way.
