oh come on, for a little more you'd get way better quality...and who needs a 3 year replacement plan...if i had that camera, i'd probably get it replaced asap...

at least read the whole manual and get the most out of it!

Your car looks great Robert! I have a couple of suggestions that you may or may not already be working on to really put your car over the top. First of all, your calipers definitely need some decals to spice them up...StopTech, Mercedes-Benz? Also, a quad exhaust would help make the rear look as aggressive as the reast of the car already does. Last, the wheels are clean...but not nearly aggressive enough. The HRE's would have been perfect if fitment was better, but the Carlsson's just look too... ordinary. Please take this as nothing more than constructive criticism. Your car already looks incredible!

Just out of curiosity how much did you sell your HRE for? They looked really good. It was the rims I was looking for. If your selling the C32 front bumper and have everything to change over to a C240 I wouldn't mind taking it off your hands. Also depends on the pricing
