You may also want to plate/plaint the v8 kompressor bedges on the fender too, or it is going to look funny if those are chrome and the rear ones are black.

Awesome thanks for the info. No one has yet suggested this and Mercedes wouldn't even direct me that way. Not until I called asking about it and they are calling for a price for who they use. The side emblems are going to be the same or replaced with the 5.5amg side emblem I have. Theyw ill be powder coated black as well. Mercedes has enough chrome on the car I am trying to dim it down.
