Does that include the front LeMans edition flares? Trying to figure out where two of the six bits fit.

If so, happy to split cost with a non-iS owner. I'll take the front, you take the rear.

I want to research these a little more. I see they are fiberglass but do have the original texture formed into them. It looks like they are glued in place so I would like to see some photos of these installed but at $135.00 for the entire kit, I could almost try them and see if they will work with little lost if they are junk. My OCD is jumping out at me to go OEM, just need some guidance.

Finally ordered the tool to address the trifecta light issue....

https://www.ecstuning.com/b-schwaben...FQSewAod6kcNKA

This is INPA for dummies, all the functionality without the frustration in laptop/tablet INPA. Foxwell provides a $50 download online too, will give me full INPA access to my 2005 W211 Benz.

With 5 sets of wheels/tires for my 3 vehicles, figured the cost of a real tire pressure gauge is cheaper the wearing out lots of tires early. Got this too, USA assembled, gauge assembly built in Germany......
