Car will look so much cleaner without the wing, side skirt, and side grill. Love the Brabus' lip and custom splitter those.

There is only 1 cd slot, but i think it's good enuf, for example, when i get in the car and i'm driving for a long distance, i put the Nav DVD in there, input where i wanna go, then after it loads the map, u can take out the disc and put the DVD movie in, and the map has 10 km radius out of route which i think it's pretty sufficent. Also i have an Ipod, so all my music can just put in an Ipod. But if u want, u can purchase the CD changer that's competable with the D3, i believe there is a 6 disc and 12 disc.

awesome additions!
can't you load the movies into your ipod and play it off the ipod? I'm pretty sure you can do that with the D3.
You don't happen to have the carpi for steering wheel controls do you?

suddenly i miss my coupe. i loved the black opal color.
