ok after having them sit in my back seat for almost a month...i finally got around to installing them on my car. i like these better than the full stainless steel ones that people buy. these have stainless steel plates but rubber around the sides and blue lighting! that mean you have to cut the OEM front door sill in half to install correctly but it wasn't too much of a task! personally i would have liked them to say "mercedes benz" or "202" instead because i have a C280 but i got them from a friend at work. they look sick however when they light up at night - really, really bright!
