shaven
My wheels and ____ are still a week away. But the first thing I did was shave off the back. Watching people freak out over the car, and they do, is the best. When they can't figure out what it is it's 10 times better... the look on their faces...
And it looks so clean... what do you think??
1,400 miles - flawless - awesome

Iridium Silver, but the picture was taken at night in poor lighting. It looks much darker than it is. But that's what I like about this color, it looks different in every light. Glows in the Sunlight, looks darker and different as the light changes.
Have shaved off the V8 Kompressor stickers as well on both sides. Looks so much better

none of the numbers and letters on the cls are rivited or drilled on. 6lb fish line and saw them off. Keep the pressure against the letters and not the paint on the car. Work the line back and forth slowly. You will be amazed how easy they will come off. Use a good pre-wax after you have them off to remove the residue. Then wax.

A couple of years ago I pulled into the MGM Grand in Vegas. They were Hosting the ESPY awards. I was driving my Brand New All Black E55 with the "ESPN" plate on the car. (which I have on another car now) I don't know who they thought we were but they kissed our butts, parked the car right in front and escorted us into the building. Came home and got the espnews plate and espn2. Has been a lot of fun.
Originally got the Espn plate just to see if it was possible. My friend got the "M-TV" plate and was having a lot of fun with it.
I was told recently that Dan Patrick has the "espnews" plate in N.Y.
