2012 Mercedes CLS AMG
New Star

For $250 you can go to your local Mercedes dealer parts department and order
a Distronic smooth grill star to replace the standard hollow star. IMO it makes
the grill look a lot more classy! Installation is easy. Just twist the old star off and
twist the new one on.


2012 CLS AMG, Lunar Blue, tan int., PP.

Don't remember, but it's paid for itself many times over on long drives & stop and go traffic. Self-adjusting cruise control that can bring the car to a safe and comfortable stop in heavy traffic is worth it in my book (especially because the cost of the option was pretty much a rounding error when I paid for the rest of the car that I built to my spec.)
