Frank, dude I almost fainted. that's the best looking '05 blinker I've ever seen !!!!!

No, seriously, looks good ! It's awesome that Steve has been able to hook up so many of us out here in Cali. The next 2 weeks are going to be awesome, with all the install parties... You going to the BBQ on Oct 2nd ?

hopefully, I can get one or two more mods done by then, but of course Steve's putting in the good stuff !!

Looks great Frank, I am glad that I updated mine. This crap is a sickness, I just can't seem to stop wanting mods! I am ready for November for my COMAND and Climatronic. BIX is the next thing on the list for me after that.

it is a sickness johncl, i know. you get one here and there and next thing you know you have to have everything. then when i think im almost done i add things onto my scheduled mods list. its all worth it in the end. the personalization of the car is the best part about it.

Here's a pic of the one I got from my MB dealer. It was FOC due to some issues they needed to resolve with my car early on. It just took forever to get, but once I did get it, I installed it right away. At first they wanted to install it but I refused and said I'd take care of it myself. Very easy job, no drilling necessary. The reason why I wanted to do it myself was because; (1)I added additional 3M tape, basically double re-enforcement (2)added silcone to help seal it better, plus it will act as an added adhesive and finally (3)I had tape on it for at least 24 hours to let the tape and silicone to take in, I know the dealer wouldn't have waited that long.

I kinda like the W203 cause it has a bit of a more aggressive look to it than the C55, plus it has a slight arc versus the straight line on the C55. Pics are poor due to camera phone.
