SLEEPER!? Uhh, Drex, I hate to break it to you, there is nothing sleeper about your car. That baby is full tilt. Sweet rims, S Class tails, your car says class and power.

Now, I guess Phil has a new name? Bulb man....

+1 here - I'd say Ed's car is the sleeper here. I mean I could say I've got a sleeper myself... if I wanted to lie to you all :p.

Only MH-Dezent roof spoiler reported in the US. Bought it from someone who had it imported from Germany. Performance Products sells a similar one, but it's not original MH-Dezent.

LOL...Yeah, I guess that's true...but, there's no way I'm gonna be dumb enough to run a M3 or C32 if they saw me!...hahahaha. I do have pride in my car, but I'm definitely not dumb when it comes to stuff like that.

Phil got promoted, that is correct.

Well, Ed's car is kinda a sleeper. He's running fairly stock externally...problem is, peeps thinks it's a stock 230 internally...big mistake...

flip, photoshoot this weekend? Lemme know if you're down. It's gotta be Saturday though (cuz of Easter Sunday).

That goes +1 from my point of view 'bout Ed's car! I wouldn't be surprised if his car is still faster than mine (but who knows). Ed, the shop is local to you also! At least, you're a little bit closer than I am.

I'm down - I'm trying to see if that noob Rey wants to step out with his new 203, I think he'll need some inspiration from the modifieds. We've got a few mods to talk about and other things I want your opinion on.

On Ed's car, well, maybe it's time for you to port the blower too haha. Might as well - ****, your car is like the back of my hand now haha.

Didn't have much room to take it to WOT either. Was stuck in 1st and 2nd most of the time, cuz of the area and lots of cops...That being said, we did get to 50 in 2nd...LOL.

Another one...

Okay, so Flip and Frank were able to convince me (didn't take much convincing, considering this one is VERY unique, especially on a sedan)...And I'm so glad they did! It seriously feels like day and night with this steering wheel. I feel in so much more control of the car than before. Thanks to flip for help on the install (thank God he has tools, cuz I didn't have any of the necessary ones). Sorry, no DIY, cuz it's almost exactly the same as the 4 prong steering wheel DIY. Only difference is the clip that connects to the airbag is a little different on the 3 prong steering wheels, but one can figure out how to release the clip when seeing it.

Even though I thought it would look super funny to be mix-match, it's actually not that bad at all. The steering wheel is a little darker in person than it shows on the pics. It was night, so the flash made the interior seem much lighter.

btw, I still eventually want to trade for an ash 3 prong steering wheel (even though I think the mix-match looks okay), so for any of you coupe owners or 2004.5 SS owners with Ash interior (light grey/grey), if you like the mix-match color scheme, I'm willing to trade with you no problem. Obviously, it'd have to be in the So-Cal area, in order to swap:
https://mbworld.org/forums/classifieds/190406-wtt-2001-2004-5-w203-cl203-3-prong-air-bag-black-ash.html

Enjoy the pics!
