New Minor Mods & Repair Issue
So I finally go to the dealership to put on my new Conti DW's and get an oil change (every 5k for me). They do an inspection and they find a pool of power strearing fluid in the splash pan (aptly named). Replaced the lines and cleaned the pans, never knew I had an issue. Funny we have a sensor telling us the rear seat is unlatched but it didn't know I had a leak(?)
All is fixed.
Some pics of the tires, love the tread design hope they last more than 9k. And messed around with some laser cut tint for the tails to tone down the brightness of the turn signals, and played with some vinyl on the mirrors and the trim around the windows. The tails look good got it off EBay the mirrors are ok. Opinions?

Sometimes its the little things...changed make a difference thanks guys.
The tires are 265/35 18's.Even with just a few miles they are really quiet.
Yea, almost time for our monthly get-together.
The tint is 35% and was cut to fit exactly cost was $14, agreed that it works well on black. Anything darker detracts as I don't go for the "blackened" look on a Merc.

What I like!
I had the same issue with power steering fluid in the undercarriage. It only leaked once, and yeah it got all over the place. In my case, I'm wondering if it happened after I did some laps at Spring Mountain, not far from you. Have you taken your car on a road course?
My dealer didn't say or do anything about the fluid mess (boo) The tech at ACGSD was the one who told me what it was (bravo, and thank you James and Peter for running a great business)
