Are all the slots taken up yet? I wanna do it, but I gotta get this dealership mess sorted out before I start doing anything to the car... perhaps I get in on the next group buy, if ever there is another one.

first mod. DIY vinyled the side marker. gonna get it painted or get the clear one sooner or later, but this will do for now. vinyl's a little too pale compare to the arctic white tho. also did the side marker my sister's 208 CLK320, the white matched her Glacier White perfectly.

also tinted the car 32% all around. I'll get that pic tomorrow.

weren't so lucky with my Beetle tho. It was a 4-spd auto. cruising at 80mph is almost at 3700-3800 rpm. the only time it saves gas is driving around 65mph which the rpm would drop just below 3k a bit.

yup, it's an 08. last shipment of the 08. just came off the boat.
What's wrong with the wheels? I like them. Sharp spokes FTW!

I dunno. It just seems a little generic for being AMG wheels. I didn't even know they were AMG wheels until I had seem them up close when the car first hit the market. lol
