A local place next to me took about 4 days and $100 bucks, but any powder coating shop can do it. It cost less than $100 but that was their minimum.
How much were the speedy camber kit? Front or back? I want them now!
I want some better pics of your ride.

i went to a local shop close to me and the guy was nuts, wouldn't powder coat anything for me.....

but i want to do my front grille and another piece, can you give me the info of the shop?

the camber kit is rear only, for the w210 front its a camber bolt that can be bought at the dealer for cheap, uder 10 bucks i think......

i believe i bought it for 240ish, its' been so long that i've had it but never installed it.....

i will get pics mario when it's done, right now all i can say is that theres no paint on the car and it's striped down with no tails lights/moldings.......

Alex can you get me Speedy's info, I need to get those, because between the supercharger and 2.5 degree of negative camber I can't keep tires on my car. Also do you have the part # for the OEM camber bolt from MB?
Thanks

Not sure about the pricing on the grill, let me check on Monday. Mag Masters does powdercoating if you rather go south to Santa Ana.

The clear fogs are useless. I have them on mine, the stock ones were much brighter, but the clear ones look better and match my headlights during the day.
