'04 Rear End Higher than '00

Just traded in my '00 CL 500 for a new '04 CL 500. Is it my imagination or is the rear end higher on the '04. It seems all too easy to spot the mufflers going to each tailpipe now when on the '00 they seemed out of sight. Is this correct? Also, I know a lot has been written on this but how much does it cost to be able to see DVD movies on my command sytem and how extensive is the mod. Finally, are there any other mods (not to the body but to the electronics) for the '04 that may make the command system a little nicer to look at . The '00 system was much more colorful. Lastly, I just had a patch antenna installed on my front winsheild (top right corner) for my cell phone. I know the radar detector much shoot through the black grill like stuff on the top middle of the windsheild to see through. Does the patch antenna also need to shoot through this pot or will it work where it has been installed now?Thanks for the help on my first post.

I noticed this too with the S class, they must have changed something maybe with the bumpers or something.
