nope, i have the same car and it came with headlight washers.

btw Waveykat... damn you for beating me to euro impact strips!!! At least I beat you to the CL tails

let's see here... you are ahead of my on AMG bodykit, spoiler, bi-x's, wheels... damn you, Wavey, damn you. Please tell me you don't already have nav in that thing? And what about the interior trim- going to change that out too? Just don't get Brabus Mono IV's and we will be ok. Ok?

that's because, AFAIK, it was only available on '01 and very limited '02 C320 Sport Sedans.

damn damn doubble-damn!

I, too, am planning on 8000k bixenons, 2005 shifter, stealth bulbs all around, AMG bodykit, C55 trunk spoiler, Euro Nav, and Euro impact strips.

Also, now that I see how nice it looks on yours, I must add a good tint.

My exhaust, however, will be quite a bit different. Good to know that I will still have a unique car

With the resonator deleted does it cause any sound wave discomfort in the cabin at highway speeds 75 -85 or actuall at any speed?

I think you might end up encountering a depth problem with that speaker. Double check..........

Most important is the impedence difference, because, if I recall correctly, Bose uses odd-impedence speakers for their systems. Searching will yield more detailed information in this regard, but if this is the case, you probably won't be able to swap with that system.

my bad... i thought he had already changed his HU..... brain is slow tonight. Didn't fully register the BOSE comment.....

You need to first swap out the HU mang.......... otherwise speakers by themselves are a waste of time IMHO.

wavey! I know that you can powder coat thru online stores, but Ive been trying to find a local NYC/NJ/CT shop. If you do, let me knoe!? i want to powdercoat my AMGs to black.


and I think if you powder coat them BLACK, its more "popular" than if you powdercoat your body color, especially when you want to sell them.

advans, have had this guy do two sets of rims, and a ton of other stuff. www.trgcoating.com - tell him that I sent you, and he'll give you a great price. Plus, would hopefully get me a discount the next time I get anything done.

wavy, I really love the color of your car. As for what to do about your rims, recycling seems to be the most viable alternative.
