Thanks SaMas. I spent 4 hours yesterday
washing, clay, wax etc... and car looks great. I was thinking of trading it in for a 2002 CLK55 AMG convertible but car looked so good decided against it.

So to your question look or perf? Does not matter!

$375 plus install. I asked some people arround and respond on the kit wasn't very good, now I'm not sure if I'm getting it.. I was happy with the thought of 7 whp gains but some shops said that I might not see that...
