Your ride is definitely tight. I was never a silver-rim guy but seeing your setup might have made me a believer. What kind of clearance do you get now in the front. I always wondered if that is going to be a problem with those speed bumps that are like 2 feet high and have an 80 degree slope?
Damn, don't ever ride around in the south bay as you will make my stock 320 look like a ford focus.

To answer some questions -
SoCalCLK - the Carlsson kit is fiberglass. My original bumper is the plastic that Mercedes bumpers are made of so my front bumper would be a combination of the two. The rear bumper is fiberglass, I didn't use the original bumper in the back.
I'm not going to go to the Carlsson exhaust mainly cause I already have a Remus that nicely fills the cutout, and Carlsson ones are too hard to find.
Samoan_Ridah - I have a lot less clearance in the front cause of the bumper. Speed bumps haven't been a problem so far, but driveways are another story. I've already scraped a couple of times no matter how sideways I go up them. I guess if the driveway looks bad enough, I just won't go up it. :0)
derek m - The holes in the kit are just 4" holes so any 4" foglight will fit. I got mine at pep boys for $50. They're made by Hella. And they have a little extra surprise. Take a look:

haha... that is pretty sweet...
Josh... did you make custom angel eyes for those fog lights?... can't really really tell....
you didn't say anything to me about that.... looks sweet though... next, you should get a xenon kit into those fog lights...

The work was done at Pro-Am auto body in Burbank. Their number is (818) 842-4177. Talk to Haik (pronounced hike like what you do to a football) and tell him that you were recommended by me. He'll take care of you. :0)

To attatch the plastic and fiberglass urethane adhesive and rivets were used and then everything was sanded down and filled to make it look like one piece.
