Ooo that looks nice and fancy, but the only problem is that it doesnt protect the sides of the doors from their slob and wet nose. Knowing my bud Toby, he likes to stick his nose everywhere and leave a mark. I used a cheapy $20-30 giant tote bag-esque pouch in the back. It may not be ask comfty, so I throw a blanket and a couch pillow in the hammock with him.

Thanks for asking too, cuz I was wondering what those straps were for!! lol, now my sides can be protected even more so.

I would appreciate help with a couple of questions:
I drive a C450.
Could you recommend a good detail shop in the NY / Westchester area? I need to get rid of the tiny white spots all over my C450's paint that might have come from paint over spray from painting nearby buildings.
My OEM run-flats are too stiff and noisy and I would like to replace them with quieter and softer non run-flats. I would also like them to be all-season since I prefer not to change my tires in the winter. What tires would you recommend?

As far as your RF, they are harsh and stiff, im waiting for mine to wear in order to replace them with non RF ones since where i live i dont need sinter tire replacement, but living in NY will lead you to getting winter tires in a couple of months right ?

I have 35% Carbon XP all the way around and love it. You can literally (yes literally 
) feel the heat of direct sunlight, dissipate by closing the window.
Also, I have found that 35% is a great balance of privacy, sun/heat protection and clarity/visibility. I drive between NJ and PA constantly and have never had an issue with cops either. NJ is technically no tint on the front windows and PA is 70% all around.

Patient is truly a virtue as they say and saved me just under $200 a month in payments.

Two questions:
1. What's everyone's take on the 18 5 spoke wheels? I was thinking of getting the black 19 AMG wheels.
2. Is there a way to remove the Black Ash Trim and replace it? I want to replace it with the Carbon trim.

Been meaning to ask you bro, you got that exhaust installed yet? If so, how are you liking it?

considering a '16 C450 & have questions...
Code 632 - LED Headlamps (standard?)
Code 319 - Lighting Pkg: Dynamic LED Headlights w/ Active Curve ($800)
what' the exact difference between the two?
there's two cars in dealers inventory with the differences above.
with the Lighting pkg, an I really only getting a self leveling/adjusting LED headlight? and is the headlight assembly basically the same?
Code 319 - Lighting Pkg: Dynamic LED Headlights w/ Active Curve ($800)

You will definitely want the Dynamic LEDs.

The lighting package gives you the intelligent auto dimming/high beam lights.
In the US, the intelligent lights are neutered. They don't have many of the features shown in a lot of the videos (EDIT: But do have the adaptive curving). Not sure how useful they are over the regular LED lights for some of us. I didn't order them, because where we live, it is rare to use highbeams anyway, due to major roads/traffic at any time we are out and about. If we lived on a country road in the middle of nowhere, I would have ordered them.

The assembly is a little different, as the normal LEDs have a reflector in them on the inbound side, but they are pretty close (and both much different than the base halogen lights).

Finally got my car last Thursday! It's been great so far, delivery was smooth and I'm enjoying the many new features I didn't have on my BMW.
The car is surprisingly firm (even in Comfort) so I have my Individual settings set to Sport+ for powertrain, Sport for steering and Comfort for suspension, and transmission I always put in Manual. I'll give some more impressions later.

You've own the car for a year now, do u mind sharing on your experience on it, the pros and cons. Plus, do u think you would prefer the new C-class coupe at this stage or you still think this is still the better choice? Appreciate ur time in replying to these questions!
