I bet it's not hard at all, all you'd have to do is ground one wire and tap the other one in to the factory light that illuminates when the door is open, then hide wires and double sided tape them down.

Wes, car is looking awesome man!
I am still on the fence on the mirror covers though :/

Yea, I figured I would get mixed reviews on the covers. I will swap to clear signals and post some pics to see how that looks.

Carlos, they didn't tell me how difficult but they charged me for an hour and a half of work so it couldn't have been that hard. I think I remember seeing a DIY on the SL forums.

Thanks Angelo. I'm getting to the point where there really isn't much left to do. lol. I haven't seen them in red, but contact Gerry at formymercedes.com and he might be able to work something out.

Thanks. I was thinking about getting the shrouds painted, but I will make that decision when the car is in the shop for the swap.

Thanks. Yea, I'm not too keen on the mirror covers either. I'm waiting for the clear turn signals I ordered to see if that makes a difference. I think the mirrors are too dark, the clear turn signals will provide some contrast.

You would be surprised how many small dogs there are around here. I haven't bought the lighter tint cuz I still have some cans of nightshades that I was thinking about using.

So you did'nt get a new wheel well right? Just replaced stock muffler in middle with x pipe then added piping and the 2 tips on each side right? the only need for a new wheel well is if i want 2 mufflers on each side right? which i dont. just a x pipe and quad tips.
