UPDATE:

after 4 hours of going back and forth on the price, I finally lost my patience and just left.

I have a feeling the sales manager will call me tomorrow and tell me that we have a deal =)

i'm keeping my fingers crossed.............

Hold off on telling us it's yours until you have some pics! lol j/k Post some pics so you'll have a before and after (mods) pics for comparison. Good job. What's next on the mod list?

Kind of funny when you said it's fast. I was like that too when my car was stock but ever since then it has come a very long way.

thanks, guys. I really really missed my 430 since the first day I sold it.

The 55 is in an entirely different speed class as the 430. I actually get pushed back in my seat a bit when I gun it off the line. I'm also trying to get used to the adjustable seat thingies that my 430 didn't have.

Nav is great too =)

Mod List in order:
1. flat emblem badge (tomorrow)
2. shocks/springs/spring pads (hopefully next week)
3. 19" staggered rims (definitely by the end of the month)

that's all i want to do for now.

hey guys...anybody have a hook-up on the mercedes flat hood emblems? I just went to the local stealership and they want 50 bucks plus tax for the damn thing. I really don't remember paying that much when I put one on my 430.
