Nice grill! So, are you looking to sell that old one? I really am digging that big star look. Please let me know if you are planning to get rid of it.

So you are the lucky buyer that picked up this set?

congratulations... that looks beautiful... i would have gotten it but I didn't want the side markers since the color didn't match my car...

couldnt turn this deal down. been looking for a grill and the side markers and arnee had them both. i think i had ordered a set of the side markers from evosport, but i think that issue has been beaten to death in this forum....

hey b, you revamped your audio system in your CLK, right? or am I confusing myself with someone else?

Can you post some pics? I'm trying to see what others have in terms of aftermarket systems...

not sure if you mean revamped as in recently or just aftermarket. yes, i have yanked the piece of crap stock system. my system consists of :

alpine cva-c800
alpine dvd 5205
alpine 12 disc changer
alpine mobile vcr (yes, total alpine *****...!)
mb quart q series 3 way component speakers
mb quart co-axials in the rear deck
rockford 4 channel amp
rockford 2 channel amp
kicker 15 inch sub

been thinking about the nav for a long time but for some reason a thomas guide is so much cheaper than a 2K dvd nav system.


i will take some photos and post them for you this weekend...

nice setup... you gotta get the new alpine in-dash dvd screen... real tight looking and matches well with OEM layout...

I hear you about the $2K nav versus $20 thomas guide... but nav looks so cool, and i found myself a good deal, so hopefully, i can get rid of my thomas guide soon...

looking forward to pics...

usually wash the car weekly. use meguirs car wash and usually just use meguirs quick detailer. when i get down and dirty i use the meguirs three step wax program. used zymol a few times, but did not notice a difference. about to try using zaino #2 or #5.
