sorry if these are too many questions..............G
Thanks guys. I'm real happy with the look. The front lip spoiler is Piecha. I bought it un-painted for somewhere around $ 600.00. Then I had it painted and installed at a local bodyshop for around $ 300.00.

The wheels are 19"x9.5" rears and 19"x8.5" fronts. They are DCR Hockenheims three-piece forged wheels. The centers are brushed, the lips high polish and the centercaps chrome. YNOT has them and loved the way they looked on his car, so I got them too.

The Brabus springs are springs only. I bought them on-line and had them installed locally by a mechanic. The ride is very O.E.M. feeling. I personally love the look and am surprised at the comfortable ride.

The thing below the SLK350 is a dealer badge. It's a long story, but when I bought my car, I told them NO BADGE! Of course, when I picked the car up, the badge was on. I had them take it off, but when they did, they put a little scratch where the badge was. So, my choices were to have them paint my brand new car or put the badge back on to hide the scratch. I had them put it back on and got them to give me the plexiglass windscreen for the screw-up.

Nothing special about the roll bars except the plexi-windscreen.

Alroumi, you are twisting my arm.
