Holy s*** dude, you're serious. It's gonna look great! You're painting the wheels black, right?

Sorry about all the damage, that's really a shame. Mine has 30k and has nothing even close to that, but since it's going under the knife it probably won't matter.

Check into getting the carbon fiber replaced under warranty. My ash tray cover cracked in multiple places and I got a new one installed for free.

a Black
love it

your ride will be verry cool. Love the orange...almost bought a lambo in their orange, before my BS.

How hard is it to remove if you wanted to go back to black? Will it cause damage to the paint?

What is the cost to do the wrap? what about unwrap?

Thanks

Unwrapping the vinyl is very easy and you can DIY. The guys from Diamondblackexteriors said that it won't damage the original paint. It is just like a 3M clear bra which actually gives protection to the car. If you have any questions, please contact Art and mention my name David with CLK. He will help you out. His number is 818-403-9999.

They are going to be Satin Black for sure. I am thinking about adding a spacer too but don't know what is the best size for stock rims.

I think the ones Evosport sells are H&R 10mm front/12mm rear. Remember you need longer bolts, too.

Dave, are they going to put any sort of decal (AMG/Brembo) on the calipers or are you going to leave it as is?

The car will be ready tonight around 8pm. I told them to leave AMG on the calipers. Are you going to Cars and Coffee tomorrow and Socaleuro afterward??

Give Art a call for quotation. cel:818-403-9999 Their price is very reasonable and they are fast and good. Don't forget to tell them my name and tell them you are a member of MBworld.org. They will give you a discount.

That looks exceptionally good, particularly the shadow accents on the fenders.

Diamondblackexteriors did a great job wrapping my car in a short period of time. I highly recommended if anyone wants to wrap their cars.
