Did you just screw your front plate into the bumper? They do have a front mounting bracket for the car. Part# 2308850481 for non sport bumpers.

congrats
You are in for a treat. If you put 19's on it you will find the handling better.
The AMG tail ligts are a necessary option IMO. A quaife rear end and an ECU tune and you'll never get out of it.

Kokanee, is it just a quad exhaust tips or real AMG exhaust system?
Where did you purchase them? Have you cut the rear valence?

quad tip exhaust
I had an Eisenman race exhaust (all SS) put on and the factory AMG rear skirt. I didnt like the look of a cut skirt. The exhaust was mmade to fit the factory skirt. Sound is much better than stock exhaust but not SL55 good. The AMG side skirts are being painted now.
