Thanks Joe for hooking this up, the shop that installed it was super quick and professional. I LOVE the difference, the pre-LCI front bumper is so plain it reminds me of non-AMG W210 Mercedes from back in the day. I am so proud of the front now I actually back into my parking spot. My LCI tails are no longer the star of the show, haha.
One 'before' picture and two 'after'.

I am local to Trinity so I did not need shipping, but I paid for installation - although after watching I really could have done it myself if I had a garage. It is illegal to even open your hood in my complex.
I paid $375 painted and installed. It is probably one of my smartest investments on this car to date. (Minus the navigation retrofit I ordered and seems to be lost somewhere in Poland).

I think this is a good alternative to an M-Tech kit. Might buy this soon. Did you go to a dealership to get it paint matched?

No, Joe with Trinity has an agreement with a shop here in OC. They did a good job, I am happy with the price. I believe in the breakdown I only paid $125 for paint and install.

That looks good, I might have to order that for my car! Shipping might be a lot though to ship to Florida.
