TLooks OUTSTANDING ! Damn now I'm hooked - SO All I have to do is roll on into the dealer and order a silver one? Did you do the install? I'd be scared to scratch it up. Do you need any mounts or anything else?

Hey guys,
I'm might be purchasing one this weekend.
I like what you guys did to your cars. Converting the front bumper cover with and OEM AMG version, does it use the same hardware it has now? If I buy it from the dealer, does it come with clips/hardware, mesh grill, foglights & underside liner ( I don't know how to call it) or do I have to purchase them separately? Same with the sideskirts & rear bumpercover (E63 version). I might be getting an '04 E320 with Sports package.
Thanks guys.

Also, your rear impact strips won't carry over to an E63 bumper. The impact strips are actually integrated into the bumper for the E63, unlike the E55 rear. You'll need to purchase the 3 skinny chrome inserts and they're a couple hundred bucks.
Wait till you see how much the dealer wants for the fogs and mesh.

It depends...if you want OEM you can either get it at a dealer or a shop that will have to get it from the dealer (usually a little cheaper). Or you can try to piece it together from people parting out. Or you can go the cheap route via eBay and by a replica e55 kit (I don't think they make a replica e63 kit yet). Replica's aren't recommended.
