I saw a 215 today, how sad

A 1 inch wide stripe accenting the upper part of the sides of the car flaring out to 4 inches running from the front to back, artificially chrome colored wheels and he must have had the suspension set on high.
As a former 215 owner, it was painful.

To be fair, I suppose he's pretty happy with it.

Arg, I hate that. That started happening with my last car before the CL. I had a G35 Coupe and more and more I saw tacky add ons that I am sure were purchased with the driver's latest Taco Bell paycheck. I finally moved on and bought something new. It hurts all of us when CL drivers "improve" their cars in these ways

Scratch the first part, you can get those things used for nuffing.
