Awesome instructions - car's going to look great! Good idea on blacking out the mirrors. Can't wait to see the finished product.

I'm excited to see the final product. Sounds like an expensive chore though. Many body shops would have a hay day with this...they see a mercedes w/ lots of new additions and think $$$$$$ to be made. Hopefully you've found some good people to help you out. Let me know how it goes...can't wait to see it!

Wow great plans bro, I definately agree you should paint the roof black as well to make it even sportier and give that 'Panoramic' roof styling, other then that your ride is gonna come out sick, wish I could do a few minor things to my CLK, those fenders are gonna be sick! Where can I look those up for a CLK430?

is that the sellers name or store name?
so at that price its a replica. does the fiber glass look wavey? are you going to have them smooth it out? it doesn't really show its waviness until painted/ clearcoated.
i have to buy a replica too. Lorinser will set you back a cool $2,000 a fender!!!! thats f#@kin crazy!!!

i got em on ebay, but theyre made by tommotorsports...u cud get em strate from their site but theyre more......i heard from freddy (acb3nz) that the other ones on ebay (the ones he got) are a tuffer fitment but resemble the lorinser fenders better cuz they have the circular vent holes instead of jus the 2 big holes....
dont know about the paint yet...the paint on my replica roof spoiler wasnt wavy at all....will let you know about the fenders...
