My new ride:)
I just wanted to say hello. This is my first luxury car/ Mercedes and I am enjoying every minute of it. I have had everything from SS Camaro's, Mustang's, 10 sec Type-R's, 11 sec Evo IX's, NSX's and I love this C55. I almost bought the RS4, but have heard nothing but bad things from the owners. This was a very nice switch for me. I have done a little searching and was curious where to get the flat hood emblem and grille? Anyways, just wanted to introduce myself as I will be spending quite a bit of time on here. I'm sure I'll have a ton of question's eventually, but have only had it for 2 days

Thanks. I have heard great things about both Renntech and Kleeman. I will probably end up at Renntech since they are so close. Not sure if I want to go with the S/C or just stick with N/A and get the intake, header, and ecu flash. I have been modding cars for about 11 years and I am attempting to leave this one alone

C55JMG- Thanks for the link on the emblem.
Thanks guys, it's really nice to be here. Looking to have lots of fun with this car.
As for mods... Yeah, probably won't be too long

Hey FrankW, Nice ride by the way. No pic of the Guage, don't think it's authentic, got it on ebay.
Did you ever sell your 1/16's? Saw your post in classifieds.

Thanks guys. I really love this thing No complaints yet, well maybe one. The navigation doesn't like to read the dvd. They said they'll fix it, so I'm not worried. Just hope it is the dvd and not the unit. Anyone have these problems?

By the way, you should tint your entire front windshield in 50% (one piece) and get rid of the sun strip. Cleaner look, save the dash from the florida heat! Don't think it's legal though.

SUPR C - I will keep it in mind. I have been thinking of switching, just not sure what I want yet.
bensitto- I hear ya, but don't like driving with the windshield tinted. It would definitely look better too...
