Looks good 
Since we are talking about stuffed animals..Does anyone know why I see little stuffed animals hanging under cars?
I really don't know the meaning of this. I know i'm gonna get bashed because I have seen this a lot and it's probably common but what does it symbolize?
Thanks

Aww Frank's sensitive side comes out with his little duster bear. The leather on the door panels in your C32 look so much better than the MB-Tex on most (including mine), BTW.
Also, see all those scuff marks on your speaker grille on the driver door? An electric toothbrush (my car has its own Spinbrush Pro) will do a great job removing that. Just a FYI.

I usually just wipe the speaker cover down with some quick detailer and cleans them right off.

minor annoyance
so my "genius" *** today decided to tackle a knocking sound coming from the driver side rear suspension after I adjusted the camber days earlier. tighten everything and still knocks so I busted out my WD-40 can and started spraying few joints and the spring perch since I can't figure out where the knock is coming from. knocking noise solved.
Now this is where to genius part comes in that I decided to spray the rear sway bar bracket on the driver side and then on the passenger side. The result? passenger side sway bar bracket is now loose
and clunks.
