Not SLK, but I've got an Expression front bumper on my C and the fitment is excellent. Quality is yet to be determined, as it's still relatively new, but it sure seems to be well put together.

Personally, I think it looks too rice-rocket-ish. Look at the mesh on that grille. Too much of it is exposed.

This may look better on a regular SLK, but why would you want to do this to your AMG?
