Cool Me too! me too! just got my car

After what has been a painful and frustrating wait experience, ordered end of June, I finally got my car so now I can share more with you guys. Thanks for the interesting readings up til now. Unfortunately its dark so I haven't really been able to aquaint myself with the car. But the drive back was fun and I feel great about the car.

Plans:
next weeek:
-Debadge: Why? Because there still aren't that many, even in LA as I have only seen three so far. So I thought this would look cleaner and make the car more mysterious. Those who dont know will wonder: what is that car? Hopefully I dont get confused for a honda.

-Install my brabus springs.
Next few months
-Maybe get koni shocks later
-Touchscreen xga motorized lcd and capuccino pc for nav, mp3, internet via bluetooth
-18"wheels

Next few years
-kleeman or amg front spoiler,amg back spoiler with quad exhaust
-pulley kit
-chip


haha, shouldn't get ahead of myself. Anyways, I look forward to years of fun driving, see you guys around. Pictures soon. yeah, I have a sig now!

Seems like a long wait to get your car I thought the average time to get a new clk was about 3 months. I ordered mine in Sept. got it in Dec.. Why so long? I bet you are excited about gettting the car after this long wait. Lets see pics and good luck with the car.

Cool plans!

Congratulations Calboy!
When you do mods on your car, make sure you take plenty of photos & share it with us..

What XGA Monitor will you use? I am thinking of doing the same thing, using a laptop under the seat connected with a USB-GPS sensor & bluetooth to the phone to surf the web.

Thanks guys. I don't know why it took so long. My guess is because I ordered black opal and keyless go without K4 originally, they were hesistant to order it and didn't actually place the order until several months later, after I kept calling about it. Its weird because all the people, sales and finance thought my wait was four months. I got it at house of imports. Perhaps, they are just too busy. As for the touchscreen, it is a Xenarc (sp?). There are coming out with a XGA or higher resolution motorized touchscreen soon that can have optional nav or dvd too. My friend is the west coast distributor. I'm thinking of getting brabus monoblock V or VI or the Zauber getten wheels. And here are some pictures for now. =)

hey lamay, yes it was! I see you are planning to get a black opal 55!. I'm sure you will love it. I was eating/drinking at tea station. Too bad you dont know what I look like else it would have been cool to chat and I could check out your car. Did you see the new wheels? I will post them up in a few minutes.
