hey thx for the compliment. I will do a new thread once it reaches 6 months. let me get the springs on and the pedals in and i will post new pix. while the bumper is on the way securing $$$ for the install is another matter. Purchasing parts is easy. u know what you are paying minus shipping not so much with the actual work.

speaking of which it may be a little extreme but instead of cutting a tunnel through the trunk i am going to do away with the spare tire compartment entirely. It will make exhaust fitment much easier and should save me about 1k in labor.

This wasn't planned; just spur of the moment bc i decided it didn't have enough AMG badges on it. lol.

Pedals look great, wish I could get a dead pedal to match my AMG set.

probably snagged on a concrete parking stopper, a common mishap with these cars. Do post more pics on that bumper, lookin good hope it fits well!

The side markers look like they need to be swapped from a W209 or W211 that what they look size wise.
I would just fill em and terminate your markers so no bulb out msg.
