The car is finally about to leave LA for the final voyage to Oregon. Supposed to be picked up this evening, so it might actually be home by the weekend.
Ok, I thought you were slipping in a Honcho-patented Chain Yank there.
You mean the "paddles" that snap into the rear bumper edge behind the rear wheels. Spendy little boogers, so make sure they give you an audible "click" when you install them, so that they don't fall off again. You may need to take a small flat-blade screwdriver and clean out the slot in the bumper that they fit into.

Its been said those are 500 specific, but I pulled a pair from an e420 and they snapped right in. Saved me a ton of $$$ (I don't think the yard even charged me)......
Yes, you ordered the correct bumper/fender liners. Although I did kinda want to see your car with mud flaps.
My car was missing those panels and when I installed them they did not seem sturdy. I stuck a small strip of double sided tape on the leading edge of the panel that slid into the bumper on the back side (the side facing away from the tire) and its been in there solidly for 3-4 years now.
Yes I have an addiction. I haven't decided yet if I am going to swap in my black interior. The black wagon will be sold though to make room and I will continue my quest for THE wagon. I am also constantly watching the ads for a 560SEC.
