thanks guys!!!
i think its the pics cause the its just a lip kit the flare on it does not go out anymore than the stock amg bumper line it just make the line lower and the rear is the same with cutouts for the exhaust which is also on my mod to do list.
Gondon I got a hook up and it was actually a gently used kit. I did search around and the best prices for the kit was at dc designs contact David over there hes in VA tell him Bryan sent ya.=)
I also adjust the front so it sits about 1/2" lower as you can see in the pics.

I was comparing the pics from the s55 exhaust and that one and the muffler shape is different so I dont think its gonna be a good fit ![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)

probably the exhaust or the hids I'll hold off till the right deal comes along.

Personally I want to go for a kit that has fog lights.. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.. I got a quote for the Lorinser kit, but I found it to be a little out if reach...
I'm also planning on getting the F-01 fenders.. I think they look awesome :-)

I payed a little over a g for it. Yes it was already painted black but there was some minor scratches on the front from the previous owner so I had it resprayed and when they installed it they did a cut and polish on the paint. The back end was fine but I had them cut the rear for a future exhaust and the sides were also just resprayed.

did the rear bumper come without exhaust cutouts? i like the lines of the hidden, downturned exhaust on the 430s.

You dont need a cut when they add exhausts they usually heat up the bumper and mold it right in looks perfect. Its the same as a cut acutally and that is probably what they refer to as a cut.
