Congrats! Your rims look nicer than the stock ones that came on my '03 500. If you're going to tint the windows, make sure you use Madico film. I have those and they turned out great, you don't cheap film that will give you purple windows. I still don't know if I like the chrome tail lights, but beautiful car!

Nice color, but I don't agree with you on the chrome taillight rings, just get rid of them, they clash with the car, they dont look right. Too much chrome in the rear, keep them they were.

CLKCadet, we have still yet to meet! You said youd come to these meets, but we always miss you. You better come to the meets next summer

Has anyone found a good price for those clear side markers? I saw them on ebay for $55 shipped. It's a little much for me for two pieces of plastic.

lol just a joke but they do look very nice and seem less prone to scratches.... i only post pics of my passenger side, the drivers side front rim is messed up!! went to a car wash once not knowing it didnt have one of those rail guards (i was out of my car since they were doing full service) so now theres a huge scratch on each spoke, what a burner


also, why dont you have a sunshade button? i see you have a sunroof.

Congrats on the new car...love the color.

The chrome rear trim is just a bit too much.

I think the rear sunshade is a very cool little feature...

I've seen it where a guy used masking tape to write "F*CK YOU" on his rear sunshade so when it goes up there goes the message to any jerk that might be behind you.
