The HRE's on the wagon are done in a flat black (HRE calls it Satin)

so I find someone in Miami , or at least close . surprisingly there werent that many ) .. for the window trim they wanted $250 per side and thats for Matt BLack , if Carbon fiber then it is more ! not that I would want CF.... is that number insane or am I am missing something !!
PS. Forgive me Vic , I didnt mean to take space on your post for my silly windows trim ... but then again it is your car that started it ! LOL

Fairly mod friendly state ... I Guess yes only because there are a lot of great cars here .. but at the same time ..so many rip off amateur people you cant imagine !! After all , I dont think there is a single city to rival Miami in the number of " Custom Forged three piece wheel companies " !!! I am sure I will find someone else .. at least I know I am not crazy for thinking that quote was outrageous.

That CLS looks absolutely sick! As someone wrote its inspirational I think I will have to get the same wheels eventually (when I get my in September) im in love with those wheels (and other mods youve done).

The E looks good too, love the E in white..! But in my opinion it is lowered too much. I find that the *** (rear end) of lowered wagons look too "fat" (heavy). I had my, now sold, CTS-V wagon lowered but had to change it back to normal springs and height because I just dont like that look.

But oh my god that CLS is beautiful!! I cant wait to get mine!!

Thanks for the comments--- I can see where you are coming from saying the wagon has an "all wide and outside" rear LOL... personally i dont think I dropped it too much. It has about a finger's (or half) over the tires all the way around. I did make sure that it was not too bouncy in the rear. The PP on the wagon does NOT come with the stiffer shocks (sux) so the rear weight bias can create a "bouncy" effect if I drop it too much. The current drop runs the car very compliant over soft and hard bumps and it handles extremely well in low and high speed turns for the chassis it has.
