Thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate all the positive feedback, I hope this helped the guys that are considering this set.

I'm thinking of lowering the front to match the rear but haven't really found a solution yet. I refuse to cut my springs...

As far as the tail lights go I agree with the fact that they look a bit dated. A few of my friends/family have post face-lift and I really like the look. So thats on the list for sure

But I really want a dual exhaust before I do anything else. It's not an AMG so I wouldn't feel right doing the quad exhaust (even though I love the look!) I know this has been beaten to death but does anyone have a link to a solid dual AMG tips that wont set me back $300? I've read all the negatives about the ones listed on eBay for around 100...

Absolutely agree with Wes, go quad, none of that have done it regret it. As for a 'solution' to lower the front - you can buy front lowering springs on their own from Suspension Techniques, Eibach and H&R, you just have to get the distributor to order them for you. When the kit is broken up the cost is usually 65% of the total. I used to sell front springs like this to a lot of guys with big car audio systems, the rear was lowered 'naturally' as mine was as well.

Thanks Kev. your car looks great!

I'll reach out to my rep at Tire Rack wholesale to see what price they give me.

As far as the quad exhaust setup. I would def do it if I had a 55 or 63... but for my 500 I would love a passenger set of SL exhaust tips

Wes I love the look, but this is my daily driver. I really don't want to mess with it too much. I just want a clean Mercedes factory look.

dual tips > tail lights > carbon lip when I find a deal
