Wow....sounds like your wife got the works installed on the car. if you don't mind me asking what was the cost to install a tv tuner in the car? Thats sounds like something I would like to do. I already have the nav/comand in my car. was it difficult?
thanks

I saw the car while being worked on.. looked like a bomb went off. Steve is the man.. what else is there to say?
It was fun watching you buzz around in your SMART, that thing cracks me up One day I will join the ranks.
Thanks Steve and Dean for convincing me to lower my car even FURTHER..

Wow, I think this was the car that was sitting in the garage that night I got my car lowered. If I would've known, I would've took a closer look at what Dean and Steve were doing.
Lower your car more? What about me? haha

low Jack is a cash cow for the dealers...
Plus the Install was such a HACK JOB...I wanted it removed!
I Will return the Low Jack system to the Dealership...The look on there face Im Sure will be PRICELESS... :p

congrats Mark ! or should I say, congrats to Mark's wife !!?!
anyway, can't go wrong with Steve & Dean taking an entire car apart and putting it back together...
and what's this about a "MBenzNL Onboard" sticker ??? you know I'm the sticker ***** !!!!
let's see.... my MBenzNL wish list:
- AMG F1 Safety Car Steering Wheel
- Euro C-Coupe rear plate bezel
- UHI w/ VC
- MB TV Tuner
- DISTRONIC
- AMG contoured/heated/vented seats
- and a whole lot of programming that will require swapping a bunch of modules just to get cool things to pop up in my MFD

Nothing MB related (sorry)
OMG, Steve and Dean must have had the time of their life! Tearing up your car like this!
I like seeing those pics where there is hardly any interior left, and then later on the 'after' pics, where you can hardly see anything has been added... because it looks like factory..?
BTW, Mark - I guess I didn't get fired this time? Must have been because Steve had too much spare time on his hands - and was able to work on the W211 for your 'Better (!) Half'.
greetingz,
BigSis

That job looks way too scary for me. It's almost as bad as seeing my wife ripped open when she had a C-section...well, almost. Can you just PM a final cost for everything? I want that whole list done to mine too. I just need a ballpark figure so I know how much I need to refinance my house for...lol.

Heated steering wheel will be done later on as well.
