Does that fog light have stuff inside the lens? Or is that just a reflection?

OK, here's the latest. Friday I ran over a piece of metal in the middle of the highway, and destroyed my right side tires. Also damaged my wheels, and I have no idea if the suspension is OK. More to come.

Griots makes a gr8 porduct called bug off. you was the car and use 100% car wash on a terry cloth to remove the bug jerky, then dry, then spray on clear coat of bug off on front of car and side views, then next time u wash the car the slimy clear bug off and bugs just slide off w no elbow grease,,, works like a charm!!!! git u sum.,,,, mike

OK, I think I'm going to get this package! I'm a little unsure about getting 19", but hey it might be fun.

you should look into some OEM SL500 wheels... I always loved those wheels. CLS and SL wheels look really good on our cars.

I'm tempted to do something something unique. Maybe gold wheels, but I like those too. Phi has the best taste in wheels.

just make sure the offset is ok. 10" rear is going to be close. If you dont want to roll thet fender make sure its around 38-32. I'd say 35 would be good offset in the rear because you can put some 265 tires on it without rubbing.

Good info Phi, I wish I could find the offset as the seller isn't sure. I'm searching the internet currently trying to find out, but not having any luck. Are their any negative affects associated with rolling the fenders?

I'm starting to love the Turbine style, oh BTW, my wife calls the 22 spoke ones I posted earlier "Cadillac" wheels... she thinks they look like those ugly Dayton POS wheels.

only thing with turbine is there's so many spokes to clean lol.... no effects when you roll the fenders. all it really is is rolled sheet metal so the fender has a rolled edge to keep it clean. all you're basically doing is flattening the rolled edge. If you need help doing it I can do it for you.
