You are looking at $360 for the spark plugs. Congrats on the new car.

Can this be duplicated at a regular tint shop?

Coming off or peeling apart.

The only reason I ask is I've seen that happen with the factory tint.

Join MBCA. The parts discount will pay for the membership several times over. The factory plug is MB part number 004159190326 (a Bosch F8DPP33 thats been replaced by FR8DPP33). Call your local dealer and ask the price. Compare that to the MBCA discounted price of $7.50 per plug. That what I paid 2 years ago, but the price should still be under $8 per. Of course, with the Bosch part number and a few minutes on the net you may find them even cheaper. Join the MBCA anyway, you'll buy other parts . . . .

Yes the w209 clk55 is about 3700lbs vs the S2000s 2800lbs. Big difference!
