So I had my buddy make an AMG decal for the pano-roof diffuser, If any NW Houston people need decals or sign let me know, I can pass along his info. This is a hobby for him so he is a lot cheaper then shops.

So I installed the AVIC-N5 with the blue tooth kit last week. Reception and powering needs to be worked on so I will hit that up tomorrow.

Stealth Ipod Connection


Stealth Mic


AVIC-N5


Gear Selector Blue LEDS


I had plan to finish the cluster this week but just found out I have family flying in tomorrow and they are coming over with my parents. I need to finish the radio so any help would be greatly appreciated. Anyone have the factory wiring harness diagram, I got the metra kit which is a little screwy. Also I wired the brake ground to regular ground to watch videos while driving but i get an error saying it has been improperly wired and I guess it uses GPS and turns the video off when in motion, any way around this? Thanks

black wheels are on my mod list, i got these for a good price that couldn't be past. Not sure if going to paint these or get new ones. Black with blue lip.

So I go out to my car this morning and the hood emblem is missing, i was like WTF, so i might order the AMG flat badge or get another star and repaint it like before

"Also I took out the lower grill while back, never liked it and finally put the "tuner" style
mesh that's been sitting in the garage to replace it."


Hi, How did you take out the lower grill? I have a c180k coupe 2004 facelift model and am also looking into replacing the plastic grill with a mesh.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

Also I have on order the 3 fin black grill to go with my black car. Do ppl think it would be better to leave top chrome slat as it is or paint it black?
