I got mine off of EBay. You can find the pillar chrome, front and rear lights chrome also on there. Here is a link to a seller that I got mine from eBay Store: Search results for DeluxeChrome.

Thanks for the response.
I've been searching the internet, including your link, but still can't find the chrome window trim anywhere. My '06 has black trim. Any thoughts?

weddingtonag: I think I mis-understood your first post about the window chrome. I pointed you to the pillar chrome that is wide and goes top to bottom in between the front and rear doors. I think you are wanting the chrome 1" strip that surrounds the windows. As far as I know, the window surround chrome will have to come from the dealer, I have never seen an aftermarket replacement for them. I would expect to pay dearly for all of the chrome pieces from a dealer. You might have better luck if you can get it from a salvage yard. I don't know which salvage yards carry mercedes. Maybe someone else on the forums can help you there?

Thanks again. I thought I read on here that someone added the window surround chrome. I'll search the yards. For my taste, the pillar chrome is a bit too much.
BTW, your car looks awesome. IMO you have the best color combo available and your extra chrome looks great!

It's lowered by using the adjustable link kit from Adjustable Air Ride. Easy to install and uninstall, as well as to adjust to the requested height.

Did some photoshooting this afternoon:

Thanks! Yes, I have Airmatic - so I use adjustable links both front and rear. Thanks to the Airmatic, I can raise the car approximately 3 inches from the lowered position (as You all allready know). Very useful sometimes here in Norway: 5-6 months with winter and snow...

Does the airmatic void the warranty? You R looks sweet!! I'm still torn between 20" and 22" wheels. Does the lowering affect the ride very much? Can that wheel/tire combo take the pot holes? What siz tires are those? Did you get a good deal on the whells? Thanks
