looking clean :y, what mods do you have planned?

silvermamba Apr 4, 2012 02:51 AM

Thanks! I just installed the aux cable for my iphone. I want to install Hid's or maybe get black depos head lights. Paint the calibers.

Peydidy Apr 4, 2012 02:55 AM

Did you buy the AUX cable at the dealer? They keep raising the price for those, when I first got myn I had to pay some were around 70-80 for it, when I checked the form I saw people got it for 30-40 from the the dealer a few years back. I was at the dealer the other day and asked how much it was and they said $92. I just sold my AUX cable 2 weeks ago though because I got a new head unit. Those are all good first mods. AUX, HID, Calipers, and blacking out parts of my car were all my first mods, enjoy, it gets addicting.

The aux cable in the glove box? I wanted to do the full iPod integration but am too afraid to take anything apart in the interior.

i ran the cable under the carpet to the armrest, but now im trying to figure how to get in in the armrest now.

It's actually pretty easy. you can just remove the door sill and the wire should be under there and it should be plug and play from there.

You don't need to remove the panel unless you're running the wire to the glove.

The door sill just pops easily, but the panel might be a little harder if you plan on taking it off.

I ran it threw the glove box then went behind the head unit then drilled a hole were the like ash tray/change holder thing is and had a AUX input wire coming out there

Taking apart the interiors really simple, takes under 10 mins to take the hole thing apart, shouldn't be to hard to do an ipod integration, but most likely pricey

MBfinatic Apr 21, 2012 08:51 AM

Agreed! How many miles on it? It might just be the detail but looks brand new!

From you of course lol. I love the steering wheel cover. It makes it look a lot nicer

Peydidy May 5, 2012 05:55 AM

Ya I agree, I had a couple of friends ask me if I got a new steering wheel so I guess it makes it look brand new

silvermamba May 10, 2012 11:15 PM

Just changed out my dirty air filter. Now it feels more responsive.

Nice.

Have you thought about putting some new rims? If not, you can go with OEM and get the 07 rims. It makes it a lot more sporty. I had the 06 rims which are similar to yours stock. I bought a set of 07 stock rims and they makes the car totally different.

04mbc230 May 21, 2012 12:33 AM

by the way, where did you buy the CF for the steering wheel? Having a black interior goes great with CF.

+1 on the 07 rims, also CF center caps IMO make a huge difference considering how small of a thing they are. these are how my 05s looked with CF center caps
