Hey everyone, thanks for checking out this thread..
Can anyone tell me if Brabus still sells my rims (V's)?
And does anybody have aftermarket alarms on their cars? Which ones and what do you think?
I think a 2-way alarm might be best..

viper probably has the best name. Some any generic system can offer you two alarm page...unless you want something more proactive like a lo jackl.

Hey, a little update on my car..
From my research on here and elsewhere it seems we can't add an aftermarket alarm because we have a fiber optic system? But I also heard a compustar would work? I'll be talking to some people to find out more..
Anyway, does anyone want to attempt to explain what sequence these thugs used to break in and I'm assuming..disable the alarm? Is that possible? Can they turn off the tow alarm by breaking in? Did they break into the trunk first? I'm a little perplexed..
Does the alarm stop after 30 seconds? Or will it keep blaring?
Just trying to figure out the alarm weakness.
The good news is that my car now has 4 wheels
hopefully for a while!
Check it out..

Well i was going to post the pictures of my new rims on here and thank all those that helped me with the process of installing them along with my new suspension but..
Good old Vancouver (well Burnaby actually) scum bags strike again..why did I think otherwise? Real nice..this place is crawling with crack heads, gangsters, criminals, pimps and your basic scum. Those who don't live here don't be fooled by the 'beautiful city' press that comes out of here..
Blech..

Not by any means as bad as yours, but I woke up this morning to find that the surround grilles for my fogs were stolen last night off of my 06 C230. The damn surround grilles for my fogs! Seriously! Who the hell needs those? I work at a benz dealership and heard that it's happened to one of our cars once before.
Anybody got extras they're not using?
