it makes me downright sick to mystomache the way the audio shop (the biggest in town!) butchered my vehicle when they installed my sub. jesus, theres still nuts and bolts missing from the dashboard, and nothing was secured any longer after i got it back! had to snap the center console back down into place, along with the area just forward of the gear select lever, and those two clips just above the ashtray. f*&^(ing terrible, if i still lived there, i'd have a civil suit on them, having them replace every last thing that wasnt perfect.

the bi*** of it is- i looked the guy square in the eye and said "there is a VERY specific procedure that MUST be followed exactly for you not to damage the car. should i go print it out and drop it off with the car, so the installer doesnt have to guess? "oh no, we do these all the time".

my mistake too- i owned one of two mercedes in the entire town. i should have known better.

Just my 2 cents here...
A very long time ago, I used to valet and I can tell you that we used to beat on the cars like no other. Usually we would just drive out of sight of the valet stand and then floor it. So, that being said, I wouldn't try and play a prank on some kid who has access to everything in the car.
That cover does look pretty cool though...
