So you're saying I cant hit the gas when braking? Well, then my car must be broken, 'cause I heel-toe all the time... But that may also be that my transmission is broken too and no longer shifts automatically!!!

Pressing the clutch does NOT disengage cruise control but does disengage your gear, causing the motor to redline.

It'll also open the windows if you hold the open button. I use it to get into my car because of the pogo door lock problem sometimes, doesn't look very nice having to get into your benz by reaching in through the window but i can always play it off in front of girls by saying "look what my car key can do."

Attach an 8 AWG eyelet to 6" - 8" of 8 AWG wire, then connect your fuse holder and install the same size fuse that your amp has and run 8 AWG from the fuse holder to your amp. No need to run it all the way from your battery, drill a hole in your firewall and run the wire all the way back.
Has anyone else tried this? Does it apply to the sedan as well?

Yes, all cars have a rear SAM with an 8 AWG wire with solid 12 volts.

Would one consider it safe to tap into it to power something like a 300watt rms 2 channel amp?

+1 I do heel-toe all the time~, I'm pretty sure you can give gas and step on brakes at the same time~

Headshots and facelifts - Post photos of your front end

Some of us have done minor changes like change bulbs here and there.
Others have replaced bumpers or added other lip kits.
I know a few of you have modified headlamps alltogether.
HID's seem to be popular.
And let's not forget the CL grills and flat hood emblems.

With all these combinations of mods on different color cars, the front face of our rides end up looking pretty different.

Please post only front end photos of your car here. Yes, you may reuse one's you've used on other threads. But please post only YOUR car and be sure the HEADLIGHTS AND FOGLIGHTS IN THE PHOTO ARE ON. Thanks.

Sweet looking rides. But let's differenciate this thread from the existing photo thread by making sure the headlights and foglights are all on. Sorry I didn't clarify earlier. My mistake.

Reason is b/c some people have HID's some don't. Some have change the color of their bulbs....etc. 6000k HID vs. 8000k HID, etc. Or maybe yellow foggies like I have. I'll post my own pics when I get home.
