I think its best if we all say we're just going to Seattle for a meet. If some people say "I'm shopping" and others say they're getting mods, etc, its guna look suspect.

Tell the truth! We're going for a meet in Seattle. Some people are getting mods. You might not be, so if thats the case, you dont need to mention anything about mods.

All I know is I dont want to be the 4th C-Class in line and say "I'm going shopping" when the 3 guys in front of me all said they're going to a forum meetup.

just tell them that you're meeting other seattle folks who are part of MBworld
Web groupand we're going to eat and look at each other's cars, brag about how
much money we make, and see a movie. youre going to rendevous with the
Seattle people at the Space Needle...that should do the trick.

ya that would work,
just a side note, there are like 4-5 lines when u cross the border we are all not going to be in the same line, so the first one that makes it across the border just wait for others at the first gas-station you see, if we go through the Peace arch, right after u cross the border take the exit to the right and u'll see a Chevron gas-station, and if we go through the tuck crossing as soon as u cross the border and drive for a few sec u'll see another Chevron gas station pull over there and wait for the rest of us to make it there. .
i would recommend going through the Truck border, because its more likely that they will have less of a line up, and are a little more easy going.
p.s
Dont wait for the rest of the members on the side of the road as soon as u cross the border. (i have been told that they don't like that)

It's not that hard to add them, Switch row, wire harness, I used the factory plugs and used after market carbon pads instead of replacing the leather. And yes its all directly under the leather so you feel the heat right away. Carbon pads run about 110-120 each seat.
