I've never seen it installed on a car in real life. Then again, I don't think Mercedes sells a lot of these cars and most buyers probably don't mod them.

I'm highly considering it. I'd feel more comfortable getting a thumbs up from someone who's bought and installed one before. I might give them a call and find out more info about it.

The thing I would careful of is that the pictures don't match. The upainted hood is not the one they show on the cars. I would get succinct clarification.

I've contacted Prior Design about theirs. PD's is an add-on. You have to cut out the middle your existing hood. (Image attached) It's a lot more work. It's also more expensive just for the part than this hood.
This one is a full hood replacement. (Good to keep or sell old one) The vents are fake and drain out the side. I'm sure if you wanted to you could modify it to be real but I'd probably leave it.

Mainly the carbon fiber surrounds for the vents. You wouldn't paint them and they are raised a bit, the painted hood pics don't have this raised surface. Also they show one hood that is carbon on the side, indicating the whole thing is, I am sure it isn't wrap because it reflects like real gloss carbon fiber which wrap simply can't do.

you prep before you paint. meaning, paint putty, sanding, then more sanding to even things out before you even spray with a primer. it will all even out depending on your painter.

They look the same to me too on the red car.
After doing some research, its a 2013+ W212 4DR E-Class. Images attached.

cheers mate! that looks awesome on the 212.
although from this angle it seems like the bonnet is too short...thought it was a kia or something. lol

Bought the hood. Got delivered to the shop. Went over there to see it today. Getting installed next week while I'm away. Will have the car back next Saturday when I get back. More pics to come then.
