New updates for my car :)

Got some new toys for my car, Thanks Frank for the shift knob and Alwin for the Puddle lights, S-class Led Tail Lights, and Authentic Illuminated Side Panels. Still waiting on the Door pins . Here are some pictures before they go on my car hopefully by this week. Will post more after everything has been installed.

Nice! Congrats! The more I see that shift knob, the more I want it!

I want to see pics of the puddle lights when they're in! Where are you gonna have them installed at?

Yeah they are, but I did it the hard way and removed the whole entire panel!

As for the puddle lights and everything else, I dont think I can get those installed until... Next week..

Does anyone have any idea how to install the rear brabus emblem the authentic one, not the double sided tape one.

That's okay, Cappa. I did too...LOL. It actually made the install a lot easier, but then I found out later that I didn't need to do that. Oh well, just took a little longer, but definitely an easy install.

Not sure about the rear emblem install, though.

Not sure about the rear emblem install, though.
the hard way is the correct way to install the lights. You could just pull out couple bolts and pull off the carpet, but you might break something.

Okay sorry for the wait, the person that does electrical wiring at TWS was out on vacation until monday. I'll be bringing in the car tomorrow(Tuesday) and getting everything done. On top of that, I will also be installing my new exhaust (Thanks Frank) on Wendsday. I hope everything will go smoothly and will post pics after everything is done.

Hey Cappa - I pulled in front of you on the 60 one morning, and your headlights are so blue, I thought it was the Highway Patrol! I started to pull over when I realized bacon does not ride in sharp Brabus Benz' around here.

Your car is looking Veeeeeeery nice.

Haha thanks alot, how early are we talking about?


To everyone else, sorry about not getting pictures up, it seems that 2005 has a different type of wiring compared to anything below 04. I'll be taking the car back to TWS hopefully this time they'll be able to finish in time. Sitting there 5 hours watching all the simpson series can get a bit . But I really do appreciate what TWS is doing.

The Authentic Illuminated Door sills arent going on, the wiring was damaged and will be shipped back to the person who sold it to me.

Exhaust is delayed till iono now.
