Took a look at mine (OEM) and it appears to have a slight spacing of about 1/4 also.

Dealerships aren't going to know. If you aren't a DIY kind of guy your best bet is to find a quality performance one stop shop near you.

Thank you. It's just a little something to tie the rear end look together. Bought it on eBay 👍🏻

I don't understand why he posted a picture that I posted previously, there was no comment on it so I just ignored it...

Thank you I guess... I like how the back and looks as well 😊👍

I'm thinking about installing (subtle) carbon fiber diffuser but don't want to buy something that will not fit right.

What a deuche. The badge on the back says E550, the man said a half dozen times he has an E550 in this thread and simply likes the AMG brand. AMG stamped their badge on his wheels but you feel he can't fly their flag?

Go get a life.

Do the millions of sports fans that walk around wearing the jerseys of their favorite sports teams represent to the world they are on the team?

Your a cyberbully. You have nothing better to do with your life than take the steam out of someone's sails. TS is probably a fundamentally decent guy who gets up everyday, works his *** off to provide a nice home and a sweet looking luxury ride for his wife and kids. The guy joined the forum because he is proud of what he has accomplished, wants to meet some cyber friends, share some ideas and knowledge and unwind for a couple of minutes each day. Maybe even find some Benz owner's nearby and have some drinks at a meet & greet.

Guys like you are what a community doesn't need. You feel the need to put others down in order to feel good about yourself. You're a nobody. It's probably not your fault, you are most likely a reflection of the values and principles taught to you by your parents, friends and family. I guess no one ever loved you enough to take the time out of their day to teach you right from wrong. Instead of being a cool dude and finding something in common with TS or something to that you like about his car, you feel the need to judge someone you don't know and put him down. That says a lot about you. It tells us everything we need to know really.

I mean you walked into his thread where he is trying to host and create a welcome environment and you see something you don't like and instead of moving onto the next thread, you have to leave a dump first. What a loser. Check your post count...14,000 posts! Try talking to someone in the real world. Obviously, you have no friends and that's why you spend all your time on this forum. You don't have the social skills to cut it.

They should have a thread for bullies and post you in there. What kind of low life would walk up to someone's face at car show or gathering with friends at a party and start trouble by telling the host they are a poser, specifically after that friend told everyone he is a proud member of the Mercedes Benz community and their performance division AMG.

That's not creating a sense of community where everyone is welcome but I guess every village has its share of idiots.

Thank you TONYCPA for having my back.


I just ignore it... its not worth it. Obviously its either jealousy, boredom or bullying.


Just one, two or three persons opinion.


I know what I have, I love it and why should someone's negative opinion matter.

^^^Well it's just that people wonder why kids have so many problems in school with bullies and stuff.

Just look to the "adults" to see where it comes from. It's **** poor leadership as evidenced by some clowns in this thread.

Unlike you, not all kids have learned the self confidence and other social mechanisms to know that other people do not define them. That's unfortunately one of the reasons the teen suicide rate is so high.

IF YOU RECEIVED A DIME FOR EVERY KIND WORD YOU SPOKE AND PAID TWO DOLLARS FOR EVERY BAD ONE, WOULD YOU BE RICH OR POOR?

JUST BECAUSE YOU THINK YOU HAVE MONEY DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD GO AROUND ACTING LIKE A BUFFOON...BE A GOOD KING!

Looking nice, are they 5k or 6k color? Did you have to drill a hole in the back of the headlight cover?

Looks great-it is really coming together quite nicely, a clean OE look with Mods that IMO are not overt.

Did you have to take off the front spoiler/bumper or did you have room to work?
