Looking great! Can't wait to see the finished product. I thought you were doing quad tips for exhaust?

Time to add the wood to the door panels that is now also designo 2 tone colored!!



And since the facelift and the other wood parts have the aluminium trims instead of chrome I hade to make the old chrome parts look aluminium with some matt clearcoat. Magical!!



Done..Both handle and trim.



And then I added the facelift aluminium seat buttons as well.

Don't attach the license plate on the grille if you mean to do that. I did it and it took away too much air from intake. After I put it back up where it was meant to I immediately saw a change in speed and responsiveness like it was another car. It was not only my opinion, another guy with the same car told me the same thing: don't cover the grille with the license plate.

It wont be covered. It is a small plate and I dont race cars. Just glide...Not that important to me.

Not cooling correctly will affect engine in the long run. It has nothing to do with racing. But if it is small than it's ok. Here it's damn huge

How I would have wanted not to put license plate in front...

Looks good. I wish Mercedes designed them the same size as the 09-13 ones. I want to upgrade them but don't want to replace the rear bumper. I think the gap is too noticeable.

It is way to big not to change the bumper. Rear bumper is very cheap though.

Any update on the NTG 5.1? I've been looking for a way to go from 4.5 to 4.7 but 5.1 would be even better.

Hey Chris, does the new instrument cluster come with this pre crash light(top right red light with a car in the middle). It appears to be a light that has to be on the cluster and not programmable. Please correct me if I'm wrong though because I know nothing about cars...😅

On the other hand though, I did get the facelifted COMMAND frame and I have to say it sure is a very underrated cheap and easy upgrade. It just pulls right off. Cost me $52 USD and looks much nicer. I recommend it especially for something that's constantly looked it.

Thanks, Chris.
