No, that's a non-SRT with a Mercedes Benz cover.

Re: SLK Cover in...WooHoo!!!

That's a pretty darn good deal. I don't remember how much I paid for my factory cover (comes with age) but it was way more than $150. You made a big time score with that one! Good going!!

I'm going to guess that the SLK cover is a little better quality than our factory Crossfire covers are...

That really was a good deal.
My slk cover was about $270 I think.
Congrats!

I also paid more. Where did you pick up the intake filters and pipes? Definitely like the blue more than the red I used.

Re: SLK Cover in...WooHoo!!!

Did you have to do any mods to fit it, or does it just snap in like the XF?

Intake cover is an exact replacement for stock and when purchased from MB comes with 2 filters. It also accepts the K & N's which I had in there before changing to the external pipes and filters.

So, if you change to external pipes and filters, you should remove the OEM or K&N filters?

That looks GREAT! If you feel like you do not really need it, can you give it to me?

Yes, you would remove the internal filters if you switch to the external pipes and filters.
