some new mods for my 55

**BradSLK55(IN)** · 07-24-2008

Pics a re a little fuzzy, humidity and iphone pics!
Clear corners and front grill chrome strips.

Looks great. I have the same mods and I also changed the hood vent fins to chrome to match the front.

Don't intend to be negative, just honest. Less chrome for me. Not a fan of additional badging. I think the factory guys did a good job. I'd pass on that. Now those clear front lenses are OUTSTANDING

rlbawk: Where did you get the chrome strips? Do they fit over the original ones? I have chrome Brabus hoops inside the car, so I likey the chrome match up.

**rlbawk** · 07-24-2008

You have to remove the factory strips and replace them with the chrome. I ordered them from formymercedes.com

Yeah, really don't like additional badging. the less the better.

thank you for sharing, funny how the clear markers add a strong and very bold sttement to the cars exterior. Your car looks very sharp, thanks.

Where'd you get the clear corners and how hard were they to install?

I got mine from EuroAutoLights.com (this auto links to FreeStyle Motoring).

Install is not difficult. Link: http://www.slkworld.com/general-modi...er-lenses.html
