I've been looking for rear bumer skirt kinda thing that looks similar to this picture, but I couldn't find any.
(at an angle to the OEM bumper)
I just did a quick draw(nothing fancy) in photoshop to see how I want it.

The animated pictures will rotate every seconds.

I also want a spoiler that leans little bit toward back.

I am think about painting my grill in black but I'm not sure whether I want to paint the whole thing or just the surroundings like the picture. Then I'll design my own eye brow for the headlights.

Q. What kind of paint should I use to best match the color of my car? (black) I noticed that people who did this had their grill little bit brighter(more like grayish color) than the car.

Deinitely, I need to tint my windows soon.

I used to have Carlsson EVO 18" on with 5mm and 10mm spacers but I'm trying to sell the rims due to the financial issue T_T(so sad)

kk , It's crooked.
I might have pushed it to the side while I was taking the pictures.

spoilers i believe u can get something similar from rieger. for the rear bumper addon, i have no idea where to get something like this except to have it custom made.
the grill idea looks interesting. saw a similar thing that goes for a wald w126. i got to say, it works much better on w126 then our humble 202s. we just don't have big enough of a majestic grill to pull off something like that and still look good. that is, IMHO.
and yeah, please fix the star. if u want to buy one that works, i am sure there's member here that had done flat badge will happily sell u theirs.
good luck hunting.

I saw the hood and grill made by Expressions here is a link to it
Expressions body kit (http://www.performanceproducts4benz.com/productpage.aspx?pid=102318&name=Expression+Body+Kits+(W202))http://content.performanceproducts.com/main/102318/cover.jpg

u can probably get the same look by having a good body shop do it and it would be cheaper than buying the hood that place sells.

Yeah I like that body kits a lot.
But it's bit expensive.

If I had more time, I would make my own CF hood.
If I had more money to buy the hood($1700), I would sell my car and get C36 or something that has more performance.

Is it going to be really bad(functionally) if I filled the gaps between the hood the grille(permenantly attaching)?

Any Paint(brand or kind) recommendations?

it's hard to say if it would be bad, but i guess u will be the only one here on club202 with that type of a grill, and uniqueness counts. afterall, if u really like that body kit, why not do it? like u said, u could have done it one way or another.

I currently have only 2 tires cleaned up.
If you are interested I'll take more pictures of them as soon as I clean them.
Sorry about the big pictures.

Tires: Kumho Ecsta 712 235/40/z18 ( Tread I'm not sure. but you can guess it with the picture.it was approximately 5mm deep)

*the camber of my car was probably not adjusted so I have two tires that are worn more toward inside. Thre rest of the tires looked fine.

Price: $650 for local pickup.
2x 10mm H&R Spacer (must need for front tires) with 10mm longer lug bolts(10): $70

eh, it's a bit high with the amount of curb rash for what i'd be willing to pay.

lesson learned: don't let chicks drive your w202s :D
