C230 Coupe Silver
My C230k Coupe Project

Got a silver 2002 c230k coupe a few weeks ago and have been reading through all of these threads learning about mods for the car. So far i got a beautiful new stereo from michael kuzni's shop in san leandro. done a great job. They also installed my tweeters and MTEC hids. i just got my coilovers in the mail and am waiting for the mbarts camber arms from jay ( they're on back order :[. ) really need the alignment done because it's killing my new tires.

starting to hit summer time and i need to get my window deflectors and my windows tinted pronto.

keep forgetting to save up some money to go back to michael kuzni's shop and get my bluetooth and hertz speakers.

well this is what i had so far a week ago or two. need to take some more pictures.

Hmm a slash huh? Interesting.both or just one? You should take off the lens and see what's in the way, or take a picture, post it and someone will chime in and tell you.

Oh haha well I think you have the same one as me. If you do you have a feature called app mode where you can look at any video/photo from your iPhone/iPod on the receiver. Like from youtube, safari, or your own albums its pretty sweet.

oh your right i noticed that icon when i had my iphone, but i never bothered using it, i figured it was like the smaller version the p3200 and it just allowed use of ipod controls, but i guess the p4300 does something else. it's a shame i sold my iphone haha, maybe my android will do something similar or ill just jack the ipod i bought for my mom since she has an iphone now.

your parking light leds should also work but i got mtec leds for my parking and they have like 8 leds squares on each compared to the 2 squares for my side marker. the markers are hella bright though haha. when i park in a narrow garage, you can see blue lines going up the walls, but the markers are 6k everything matches but the fogs..
