That in my opinion is pretty stupid.

Good to know. You know whether they are shipping internationally or domestically?

I have a package shipping internationally and I heard shipping times are likely to be delayed about 5-6 days because of the virus.

They are a US company, so I would assume it's shipping domestic. I think they're out of San Diego, if I remember correctly.

About what I wrote, last year it is not possible to swap to amg line fascia because of where a front sensor is positioned. Maybe that applies to 2020.

in non amg line, the sensor is on outer top.

in amg line, sensor is between the two lines on the inner side.

I know this sounds stupid... Like really stupid. But have you considered dying the inside portion of your seat white, red, brown or any other color you want to make it look like an mb 2 tone seat? You could get all the parts dyed in the color you want just like mb does it stock.

No. I am happy with the color of the seats. I'd be afraid of the dye either fading or bleeding into my clothes, too. I'm sure that would be just as expensive as swapping out my grey headliner for black.

legitimate concerns I would have.
I like all black also but I thought that might solve the headliner problem though.

Also, this you might want to verify.
The location of the front sensors on the MY19 are different and may cost you well over 5000 for a rewiring.

Well, they were supposed to go out originally on the 6th. That didn't happen. I emailed them and they said it would be going out this Monday. That didn't happen. Here's their follow-up email after I inquired again yesterday.. "Sorry, it is still in production and it did not ship out on Monday like we expected. I apologize for that. It should ship out by Thursday. I'll follow up with you again tomorrow to give you another update on your order. " We'll see...

Finally received the calipers yesterday and got them put on in garage today. I think they look great. Before and after below for front and rear.
