Steering wheel looks REAL nice!!!

Hope you figure out the SRS thing out. The dealer should be able to reset it w/ no charge if that's what it takes.

I'm loving my new wheel too. feels like a new car right!

Mu9enx did you send in your ash core? They should be done with your new wheel 2 weeks after they receive it. I already sent back my Charcoal core...


Send to Ivan in Cali. Let me know if you need the address again.
Kcheng, send back your core too if you haven't already.

Thanks all!
Remember send to Ivan in Cali, not Taiwan.

Have fun with the modding bug, because it bites real hard.
Yeah, i just copped it!
anyone know where i can get the bixenon headlights for the coupe without paying an arm, leg (and one ********)?
Mercedes australia wants $6,000 AU for a set.
and they are real hard to find on ebay.. even on eBay.de
I was hoping to spend about a few hundred tops.. (im cheap.. =])

VMR's look great.
Totally nice car btw.
The new 'shoes' warrants the bump from a year ago completely, haha!

Btw, I had a question about your side window deflectors
Are they the Clear or Dark versions?
I couldn't find the dark version on weathertech, nor any other site.
I've checked online, and noticed that some other websites offer the 'same' "weathertech" deflectors for almost 30$ less O.o
Do you think they're useful? I do like my fresh air... I always leave my fan on anyways, Lol.

I have the light weathertechs. I like the style and think they are great for the summer. Black on Black tends to bake the inside of the car, so being able to crack the windows is helpful. There is more road noise, as the windows don't seal as well with the plastic there.

spokes on VMR's look great, but the inside of the rim have too much going on... its not as clean as the 63 rims...

tough call....

but i would have to go with the 63... the 3 piece look is so nice. more timeless looking in my opinion

btw... you should get new window siding or whatever its called... starting to fade man!

where are you planning to buy the euro63 rims from? i searched for them and can't find the 3piece look... those are so badass. i think you just planted a seed in my head and eventually i might invest in a set !

Go with the EURO since you have BBKs and the lip on the EURo is pretty massive I remember

Your car would look even more sportier with thoe wheels..

looks good, Keven!

I like the Euro63 a lot more than the VMR's. I think it flows better with the car and that the VMR's are a little played out.
