You can not see that the tow hook cover is missing once the plate is installed.

I wonder how it compares to the rho mount? that looks like it has more extensions / ways to mount it.

I'm still struggling with front plate mounting options, I'm gonna explore zip-ties to the grill, if I can get it relatively well-positioned, I'll work to get a 3d printed grill mount for it.

Got my spacers this weekend and I'm looking to put them on possibly tomorrow.

Anyone running mud flaps? Not committing to this, but I'd love to at least explore options!

Where did you get your spacers? Did you just order the w212 part, or has H&R updated their site?

I emailed benzworks and they were able to send to me the right H&R setup.

I have both the Uniden R7 and the Valentine One release 2 (great name,huh?), and while both are top rated, I find that my new Valentine does better with rejecting false signals - it seems a LITTLE smarter in that regard.
I would buy either one again.

I ended up with the R7, I'll go with it for now! Waiting on the dash cam, I'll install both at once.

One other question: is there a black version of the chrome stripe in the back? Would be great if that matched all the rest of the trim.
I wrapped all mine. It came with night package, and you would have thought the car would come with chrome delete....

^ looks great!

I finally got my spacers on. A major improvement.

One other thing that I'd like to address- the airbag stickers on the sun visors. What are people doing to replace, remove, cover these?

Update: I really love my AMG. I really do. But I never drive it. Living in NYC it doesn't get the love it deserves and now I'm thinking of selling it. Any advice on where to sell it?

Sell it here. I'd post some pictures and specs in ocdbroker's thread that has morphed into a triage for would-be 2022 buyers: https://mbworld.org/forums/w213-amg/...022-build.html
