Took Advantage of a Bad Situation
So back in February this guy hits me while I'm making a left turn in a parking lot. He told me he worked at a car dealer & could have his body guy fix it. So I agreed not to get insurance involved.



We finally agreed on a day to get it done over a week ago & I took it to the guy's car lot. While I was there I asked the body guy how much he would charge me to remove the model badges, black the star badge, & gloss my already tinted tail lights. He gave me a pretty cheap figure so I asked him to do that while he was spraying the bumper.

Before




After

I am sure those lights are very bright and can be seen from miles away.

Very safe, ........ not sure why the MB Engineers did not think of this?????
