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 :/

Badblackfolife

hahaha now i know where your GARAGE IS!

dynomite05

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.



It's not too hard to put together. lol

dynomite05

I like how they look in this pic.

+1 what Kev said but nice little round of mods...

I've been looking for the door sills in red...any idea where?...



Angelo

dynomite05

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.

Newjd2

You're an inspiration for all us w209'ers...lol...

Running out of ideas!?...never...hence the engine swap...lol...then you take off all the body panels and make it into a new car!...

And I'll give it a try...thanks Wes...

Are you painting your shrouds like Kev?...



Angelo

Looks good Wes, i really like the look ! What are you gonna do with the rest of the chrome?

dynomite05

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.





Appreciate it. I will be painting the rest of the chrome body color.

I like the CF mirror covers glad you put them on but go lighter on the tint a little IMO

dynomite05

A couple pics after I gave her a nice cleaning.

dr_npz

Perfect, but when i look at the pics, somehow i am not feeling the CF mirror covers. Maybe it looks different by person.

Rashman

Nide pics, bud!

dynomite05

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.

Man I can't wait to get out and do that. The Big Clean. The weather is just well.... *****ty here.

Clkboi

Is that u in the pics?

dynomite05

lol, nah just some people looking at the car.

Clkboi

Oh well he is all over it haha but than anyone would lol.
Seems like he is holding ur puppy from my phone that's why I asked!

Car is looking clean and I am sure with the lighter tint it will be spot on.
Damn it now that I remembered I should of sent u some tint that I used on my tails and turn signals along with the sticker.
Did u order urs yet?

dynomite05

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.

M-bENZ

Right . I didn't buy the new wheel well . Here is my set up , two glass packs in the middle > two pipes > to quad tips . I have made a thread about that is called " Brandnew pipes" . Search for it .

Edit : I have no xpipe .

1005749

lol yeah been researching your thread for last 30min and i'm about to do the same thing but no glass packs and with a xpipe preety much KevBlahs setup. Both yours and Kevs setup sound the same only thing is i ordered the xpipe already lol.

Oh and u don't need a heat shield for the right side right? i know u didn't but is everything fine so far?

M-bENZ

Yes sir . Everything is fine .
