You All Must Hold Yourselves Accountable!
Bought my Black on Black '99 CLK430 with 55k last month. The car already had Lorinser LM-1 rims on it. This weekend I bought a Porter Cable 7336 at Lowes and I just ordered the following:

BTW, I even ordered the Chrome Gear Frame. Problem was the design is flat and not curved like the console, thus leaving a deep gap on each side. That got sent back but my quest continues.

Cohiba,
With a black car, you should consider getting smoked tails lights like these...

Since I'm going for the bling-bling effect, the chrome rings will stay on 
I do a lot of recruiting and the chrome on black really makes people say WOW 
The smoked taillights look nice though. I would like to make them a bit darker since the car is black. Can anyone recommend someone to do it for me here in So Cal?
Gracias Amigos!
