I had Plasti-Dipped my window trim a few months ago and had a bad spot behind the rear view mirror (wiped off the Dip when cleaning off the excess). The rest of it turned out perfect, so I didn't want to redo it and possible mess up the rest. After looking at the MB YouTube video I decided to try and get the lower door trim off to reshoot it. They had to remove plastic caps in the MB video, but ours are fixed. I put a straight pick (or and awl) under the rear edge by the cap and pushed up. The clips popped free, and it came off easily. I have not tired to get the trim off the rest since mine looks good as is. The lower was the hardest because of the mirrors. Wish I would have tried to remove it first!
Perfect dip now!

Nice work! Glad its easy to get off as that makes wrapping or dipping a LOT easier and cleaner.

Perfect!! that does answer my question. I just order mine today.
Also drooping it on RSR Super down.

I went to Best Buy yesterday and had less than 1" from my spoiler to the cement parking stop. It was better at Kroger today (about 1.5") but this is enough to prevent me from lowering my car.

First off, congrats on owning an awesome car. Love the rims and I was thinking about getting those but went with another option. :

Quick question, are you thinking about getting the chrome parts painted black? I think it would make the car a little more unique.

Thanks for the kind comments.
The answer is yes!! I`m currently looking at pricing on black out. Only not 100% sure if I`m blacking out the pipes.
Also going with Benz L shape led lights. Hopefully tomorow

The L-shaped LEDs look great. I'm sure they look even better on. Did you do the install? How difficult was it as far as the wiring? Does it come on with the DRL?

OH brother they look banging..
I had them done. Unfortunantly I`m not the most mechanically inclined guy on the group, so I jsut pay to make sure its done right.
I will post some pics once its detaled clean with DRL on
