Mind sharing what brand and where you got them?
They look great. My only hesitation was going from the current crisp lens to a crappy projector. My wife's Kia has crappy projectors, and they look cool during the day, but the light pattern is spotty at night. If yours have a good pattern and are reasonably priced, I'm in.

Good joke, btw.

Was the car in an accident? I'd rather shave all the emblems off than have them messed up.

Car looks clean.... Good job.. Tuff crowd in here lately 
Take it ease.. It's bad enough we are down to 10 views lately.
You can fix the decal that's easy and that's the least of your worries. Run over to Autozone and pick up a can that removes decals. Just make sure to re-align it correctly if you need one to reference, let me know I can dig up a pic and post for you.
Are those HID retrofit?
Depo's?
Armani
I plan on painting my Black Mesh Grill below the bumper Grey... I've seen someone do a stencil AMG/// came out nice can't remember who the member was.
* Also switch out the yellow lights for the fogs. Look for Saintz light upgrade / Check my fog light upgrade

Headlights are form ebay, I was actually surprised , they look great and light pattern with 6000 hid kit is pretty good. I felt no need to take the headlights apart to install different projectors, their ok how they r.
Can you give me the link on the fog light upgrade? I really want to get rid of mine for something better looking

Thanks. When I have time il switch the emblems around if I dont find a nice replacement, something more interesting, more noticable.

I really want to change out my fogs for some clear projector lights,, nothing out there is a direct replacment so might have to slap something together myself.

on what to buy.. Can you take a pic at night time so I can get a better feel for the light output? If you don't mind.. Don't worry about getting something else for the fogs, my output now with the new bulbs look amazing /Night/Day/ even in the day time they look very bright. Looking at the lamps, it looks like the gasket went south. Looks like you ran it through the car wash or hand washed. Foggy 
run over to Autozone and pick up a gasket sealant I think the one I used was black (it creates a gasket) my driverside was fogging up after this fix all is well Armani

One thing I noticed right away and I'm sure you can agree- the car felt sooo much lighter. The AMG monoblock rims are extermly heavy.
