Aha so It's a mix? I havent seen many of these before I'm def buying one of these if I can find one

dynomite05

Yup, mixed. They are expensive.

mikata

Mind me asking how much they cost?

dynomite05

Here's one more.

Wes, have you tinted the tails already? Or is it painted?

dynomite05

I tinted the turn signal with film.

user 76208202

Thanks bro, you the man. I'm gonna get on these. Are they bright during the day? They look great!

2 Q's:
Is the tint a flim or spray?
Do the resisters let you put the trunk molding back? I want my trunk to look oem from the inside, the resisters go behind the tails and you can't see them with the trunk open right?

dynomite05

No prob. They aren't bad during the day. The tint is film. It looks that dark because I ordered the Avantgarde lights that were smoked already. For now I have the resistors held on by two bottom screws of the light. I will find a more permanent spot this week and they shouldn't be able to be seen. I will post some pics once I do.

dragon_27

looking good. too bad i got a faulty side and since i cracked it, the person who sold them to me, won't take it back now so i have one working right side and a faulty left side. damn it

dynomite05

Damn, that sucks! How did you crack it?

In case anyone doubted my love of CF. lol My iPhone 4 case.

mikata

Hehe pretty cool

elijah

I don't think anyone here will ever doubt your love or maybe addiction to CF lol. Very nice case btw!!

Clkboi

Ha i see you didnt wait for the white one.

Told you it was pointless since you would cover it in CF anyway

dynomite05

lol, yea. I was tired of waiting.

Just picked up the car from the shop after having a few things installed. Unfortunately it's night time so I couldn't take pics of everything. Here are a few of the illuminated door sills from formymercedes. They look baby blue in the pics, but they are more of a deeper blue. Look really great in person, definitely a recommended mod. I will post pics of the other stuff tomorrow.

I like the sills Wes. A fad here is guys having their name done on custom backlight sills on their exotics. And here I thought it ended with monogrammed initials on shirts

dynomite05

Thanks Kev. Any pics of those sills? Would be... interesting to see.

Kevwood

No pics, I've just seen them on cars at clubs at night and stuff. Some of the names were in latin, others in arabic, pretty cool if you ask me. I think it might be a bit much on a CLK here but if I had a Vantage on my driveway it would be a different story!

Maybe something a little off the cuff for the passenger side like;

PLEASE REMOVE SHOES

dynomite05

lol, that's a good one.

dynomite05

Here are the rest of the pics. I had my passenger fog light fixed. They ended up bypassing the error canceler and hard wiring it. The chrome trim around the windows was painted 040 black with matte clear. I also installed the CF mirror covers that I bought a while back. I am still not sure if I like them. You could see the fit isn't 100%, the drivers side has a tip that is not fully adhered. I also think they might look better with clear turn signals instead of tinted. I will try that before deciding if I want to keep them on.

Wes, The CF covers don't look too shabby at all in the pics As for the tint, if you are going to black out your headlight housings then I would leave the mirror markers tinted, if you are going to leave the heads chrome, I'd lose the mirror tint.

My $0.02

The cf cover....... Too much for the car Wes lol .

I like the CF mirror covers and door sills!
I know your shop did the door sill install, but did they tell you how difficult it was. I remember seeing the install instructions on my W209 Star Repair DVD, so I might give it a try if it's not too hard.
