What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

I'm going to start blogging about my build in a blog I never got around to working on. http://www.overlandz.com

 

A good cut and polish should remove the ghosting.

 

there is no resonator on the stock system. unless you're talking about the muffler or something.

 

These will be going on, time to start deleting chrome. Got some overlays to do too.

Thanks, been lurking for quite some time now, lol

This was actually in PA, and it is the convenience store. I'm from jersey and the area I grew up in never had a wawa, so when me and my buddies back in highschool started to drive, we would make "wawa runs" since all we had was quickchek and wawa is just too delicious. So it kinda stuck, every time I go into PA we gotta make a wawa stop (sheetz is optional)

 

Smoke black gloss is what it's called

 

Is your truck MGM? Where did you get the color matched bumper caps?

 

Yeah, had them painted by a body shop. MGM is a weird color, well colors, even parts on the truck can be tinted a bit different from each other, best to bring your truck in and have them paint to match your specific truck.

 

Ah ok thanks. I've been on the lookout for some bumper caps but I think what you did is probably the best bet. How much did the paint job cost if you dont mind me asking?

 

Thanks

 

Just got my truck back after 5 weeks of warranty paint job. Stripped everything down to bare metal except the tailgate. Had the 2017 blazing blue pearl clear coat issue. I think it looks great!


here’s the old pic. You can see the roof/hood all messed up

 

Oh man... You missed the perfect chance to correct your original mistake and get it painted Quicksand...



Looks good though

 

Aha yeah I was wondering if I would be able to pick a color. The body shop did a great job. I took it to the local authorized Mercedes repair shop for high quality German paint.

 

Headlights can stay in and you just need to loosen the bumper which is the worst part out of the whole thing. the grille comes out super easy. watch a couple videos on YouTube on how to remove the headlights and you can have the swap done in under an hour no problem. there is a link on one of the threads for them but it doesn't do a great job on showing how to release the flairs from the bumper

 

$120, I found unpainted caps for $70 on eBay, but the shop gave me lifetime warranty on the paint if I bought the caps through them for $100 for aftermarket capa ones. So $220 all together.

 

Did the @MESO chrome delete and vent rings yesterday. Still on the fence about the 4x4 ring. I liked the red start button ring from seeing it on another member's full set, but I think the 4x4 ring either needs to be OEM gray, or the climate rings need to be cement... neither of which are available yet.
Or I $uck it up, get the red start button, and put the cement ring on.

 

It's not too late to change back! Not whining or being petty. Just 100% unwaveringing support for the boys in blue. Sorry if that offends you our anyone. As for the likes comment it was a reference to how many people agreed with your comment. Enjoy your day good sir.

 

Great deal on having the lifetime warranty. Thanks for the info! Be sure to post up some pics when you get them installed!

 

Leer 100XL cap and Thule roof rack kit! Slowly getting my camping setup together.

 

Better yet, a color no one else has. Instant TW fame.
