I have a suggestion for your project. Use the matte white plastic dip to spray the inside your door jams? That way it wont show the original color when the doors/trunk/hood are open? Good Luck!

it's easy to apply and easy to remove. If you get any over spray, use goo gone. Takes it right off.

Thanks. Well i dont want repaint it, want to keep original paint on it, plus its cheap, plus if i want to go back i can remove it in an hour or so. Total for headlights is 2700$, well now its 2300$ bc i just sold 1 of my old headlights. If you want more info on headlights just look at my other thread where i explained everything needed and some pics of installation
Oh and the rims are ml63 replicas

Arlen - i have 22 now and im thinking about downsizing. I love your rims looks mercedes but has more character than stocks imho. when your ready for some new wheels lets talk. Maybe i will take your 20's . Do they make the same wheels in 21" or 22"?

I'm well aware of that. However, this particular style of ML63 wheel is a 21" design from the factory. Wasn't aware they made it in any other size, but then again they're replicas.

Sure no problem, only thing is i have couple of curb rushes on them, so dont know if you would want them.
Actually me and other forum member here wants the same rims in size 21, they dont make them in that size, but i found a vendor who does, only problem is the shipping is bi*ch on them, so we were thing about group order, if you want 21s then you can give me ur phone# and i will contact you as soon as we are ready to purchase.
