I figured we should have a thread that people can bump every time they add a new mod or do something nice. I swapped out my stock pins for the new AMG ones.

jctevere

Great idea, do they make "better looking" pins. Those simply look like cylinders with no design or anything. But I do like how they sit flush with the door when locked.

As for the thread, today I drove my car like a banshee on the way to class today, woke up a little late... haha.

Peabody

Mercedes doesn't make anything better than that, though I do appreciate the simplicity. It has the AMG logo etched into the tops, and that's what I was worried about more than anything. Carlsson has a bit fancier pin which uses grooves, and Brabus has a pin as well (with cheap replicas). I got the pins as a gift from my Mercedes dealership so I'm definitely not complaining!

Ron Jr

Are those just for the fronts?

jctevere

No Ron, the set is for all 4's. Although, I guess you can just order 2 for the fronts as they are the only ones that are annoying when you put your arm out of the window. However, I doubt you will find them sold separately, but rather, in a package.

If they are all the same size, I guess people can split packages. Lol.

Also, not on the topic, but Ron, I realize that you live very close to me. If you don't mind me asking, where do you take your car for service. I went to Huntington Mercedes and bought it there, but after a terrible experience, I am looking for a new dealership for future purchases and/or service.

Is there any one in particular you would recommend? I would imagine you would use the amittyville dealership on Sunrise as it is closest for you...

Peabody

Pictured? Yes. However, I have the rear as well. Do you want me to take a picture of those later? Also, they're not sold as a set but each individual pin is sold separately. I thought it was in pairs, because in the system it listed each part as 2 pieces, but when they arrived it was only 1 pin in each box, which means at first I got 1 pin for the front and 1 pin for the back.. and I had to order them twice.

Peabody

They're not the same size, the rear ones (I think) were a bit longer.. I don't have the part numbers in front of me but the front was 23 and the rear 24 I believe.

Something nice...mmmm...I refused to hand her over to the valet at Emory and they let me park myself, right up front...she was so proud...then I took her for a fill up of premium gas and even a nice dose of Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner. She is curled up in the carport resting happily...

Pretty sure we have a thread like this already, but everyone wants their own thread to show off their new mods lol. I can understand though as it makes searching easier.

Ron Jr

I use Mercedes of Massapequa. They haven't pissed me off to much yet, they just can't find out what causes the CEL to go on every weekend (this is week 5 in a row).

Mind telling more about the installation? Im not every good with DIY stuff but i think i can do this one lol

AMGTTV8

i drove the $h1t out of my car today...

does that count?

Peabody

I don't have a clue, I think the front is a screw off, and the rear you have to pop the door panel for but my dealership did the install for free.

Strfry

So, I was about to put on these new carbon fiber wheel caps I got from a manufacturer in Taiwan. The chrome linings snapped with the slightest pressure from me pushing them into place. Does anyone know of any retailers who have more durable ones--preferably black with the chrome benz star (does not have to be CF).

BerBer63

Changed my oil and filter today...

Peabody

Yeah, I think everyone who has bought these have had problems with them breaking. They're complete garbage.

omgitselaine

Applied Lamin-X film to my fogs I luv the way it looks and now I won't have to worry about getting these cracked due to road debris

davidw1234

changed fogs to diamondvision 5000K, changed interior lights to LED, and blacked out trunk trim.

blacking out the sides & grille soon, and changing wheels from stock to mandrus manheim - gun metal 19''

edit: does anyone know where I can get the front spoiler lip (non-CF ones)? Besides eBay of course.

Thanks!

Royce118

Cool.. How you liking your diamond visions?

davidw1234

its not bad, a bit too blue according to my friends. but I think its okay.

Royce118

That's what my friends told me as well. I'm running them on my lows and fogs and Im happy with it as well. Would be even better if its a lil more brighter.

C300Sport

looking forward to seeing pics of your Manheims!

Strfry

Put on new side markers and LED strip. The LEDs are not as blue in person

C300Sport

The LEDs are interesting...not sure if I like them or not but kinda think they will grow on me. Nice job.

Peabody

Deleted the full taillight blackout in favor of the whites only, since the Lamin-X started to lift off the contours of the red.. and installed the instrument cluster in wood, pretty much wrapping up my woodwork.
