here is mine, just installed 15mm rear spacers and 12mm front spacers and added the "V8 BITURBO" emblem
Looking great. Can we get some wheel shots to see the spacers in action? I’m tempted to do the same but always hesitating because I like to drive fast and don’t want to introduce any vibration.

Id say go for it. They look much better and no vibrations. As long as you get hubcentric and use proper lenght bolts its all good. I never had issues with spacers on any of my cars. Heres another shot of them from a different angle.

On your long drive home did you get to 100-110+? Still no vibrations?
Also those calipers look to be painted / powder coated FYI. There was no AMG stamp from the factory either.

I installed them after I got home from the trip. I did however get it up to 90mph without any vibrations. As for the calipers, I assumed they were painted as well. Someone did a good job on them because they clear coated over the sticker and everything. Wish it was red sometimes though.
Looking good! Did you do it yourself, or take the smart option and pay someone else? When I did mine recently there were a lot of steps to get it done..

I took the smart option. The detailer spent 7.5 hours on the car non-stop. It happened to be about 30 degrees that day too so I gave him a solid tip!!
Doing the actual coating is the easy part, the prep is what is really difficult. Lots of time polishing and getting the paint right before the coating. Who did you have do it?
I coat my cars when they are new, but they need very little prep because they are new. I wash them, clay them, do an iron decon, and coat them. But an older car is a whole other process I have no interest in doing myself lol

Yes the prep took about 7 hours while the coating took 30min. Cobra Auto Detailing. I was happy with them and price was very reasonable.
When I did mine it took me 6-7 hours 🤪 Wash/Dry/Clay/Decon/Polish/Ceramic coat 1/Ceramic coat 2. then, wait for 48 hours for it to cure before driving….
