Just found out that the dealership actually painted the bottom lip yellow due to customer request. What you think I should do? Because technically they sold me a car with a package that is incorrect so I can ask them to paint it black..but I’m kind of liking the yellow instead..thoughts?

Are you still on about this, you seem rather upset. I'll humor you I suppose.
The irony here is that is basically exactly what you did.
While I never called you, or anyone else in here an idiot, you started off by insinuating that anyone who doesn't follow your lead is cheap, trashy, and mishandling their cars, so I poked fun at you. Grow a pair or don't throw insults.
Exhibit A:
You also failed to mention to the OP that most of the DP options will trigger a CEL that will require more $$$ to get rid of via tune, while not making the car any louder than you would by removing the Secondary Cats instead.
Exhibit A:
I always see this cheap way referenced here, it makes me cringe, to me it’s the equivalent of having a house with trash bags covering the holes where windows should be.....or whatever analogy you want to make.
Just cheap, half-a$$ way of doing it to me.
why chop it up and half a$$ do it like we all did as kids on our starter cars?

Hes talking about the black plastic bits on either side of your front bumper. They are typically part of the Edition 1 aero pack, but it looks like the previous owner sourced just the canards, and added them aftermarket. They didnt remove anything, which is evident by the lack of Edition 1 wing and side skirt.
For reference, this car has the edition 1, which you can see via the front splitter.

Orcobolg is making a mistake. I am talking about this piece. It's not a big deal but your car is missing it. This is a slip on piece that is bolted at the bottom. Underneath is the same color as the rest of the car. You are missing it that
is why this piece is yellow in your car.

I just had a set painted gloss black to match the rest of the gloss black accents from the AMG Night Package on my car. My winter project this year was a little front aero enhancement as well as another couple parts to get a little bit more air forced into the intercoolers. Must use a good painter as they come with a heavy texture to them from AMG as they are meant to be bolted right in without paint.
IF these are what you are referring to, you also need a separate hardware kit as there are 3 tiny screws needed for each one in addition to the 3M tape that already comes on, as that isn’t reliable enough at speed.
But don’t want to hi-Jack an exhaust thread, so may do a separate one on these at a later time.

RE: catless downpipes
Even if you get a tune to eliminate the CEL, I was told the car will not pass inspection if plugged in via the OBD2 port. This might be an issue depending on where you live.

Open road in bridgewater I see, I bought my GTS from them last summer.
If you have a reputable place in ny/nj to do a resonator delete please share.

Some of the aftermarket splitters cover it too. The RW Carbon front splitter slips over the top of that piece, so that might be a viable option too.
