My ML is finally back from the body shop...

Here it is... Back from the shop with the center bearing replaced... what yall think about it. How do you like the Grill? I had it painted and I changed out the merc emblem with an AMG emblem and put on a clear bug shield... these pics are from yesterday...

Hey nice truck! I want to change my fog lights to blue or maybe yellow do you know what lights go there or how to change them? Another ques- what did you do to your exhaust? I am thinking about making mine louder with maybe straight pipes. Already have a barbus center muffler.
Send pics that'd be great.
thanks
did you lower yours?

Not lowered, exhaust is completely custom. Leave your lights as is, Unless you plan on adding like an HID system to it... the ML didnt react well to changin out the fogs for some blue bulbs, snappin fuses left and right and couldnt really ever use them...

Hey do you have pics of your exhaust? Really like to see what you did?
And hows it sound? Overwhelming/overbearing normal driving 2,000 -3,000 – how about wide open ??
I want to do it, just for the shake of doing it but I heard you can loss back pressure and actually lose power!! My friend has an S 600 V12 with straight pipes, His is freaking loud! I don’t how hey deals with the noise that thing makes I guess it all comes back to the driver.

Swweeet ride I especially love the look of your grill against the silver paint on the body. I've been thinking of doing this too - I think it looks great!!! I like the dvd monitor in your front seat too!!

I dont know how to post sounds... Its not too bad at all. It has a Very nice growl and when you get on it, you hear engine, not exhuast. Although I did not do the work on the muffler I can tell you that the AMG muffler was cut out of the system... A Y pipe was welded in place where it existed and then there is a muffler about half way down the car, I believe it looks to be a magnaflow muffler and then there is I think some hi-flow cats...

Love your car bro! By the way lowering isn't that expensive, you just need 2 springs for the back and you forgot to paint the dorhandles but the grill locks awsome congrats
