Talking

Not Rockefeller at all. My dad started this business up in your area in 1963 and it is still alive and well. The Porsche I THOUGHT I sold just got back home. He was TEST driving the car and got a $375.00 speeding ticket, his wife said NO to the car.

Hey have you thought about any external enhancements to the CE? Very beautiful by the way.

You should see the wonders clear corners would do to your car

im constantly thinking about enhancements for the car. i think ive seen some bosch blinkers that have a little orange ont eh side but have clear fronts. i may invest in those if i can find em cheap enough. i also need to invest in new headlights, i believe the reflective stuff behind the my 15 year old headlights has dulled a lot, so now im running on fogs...so that gives me a good 10 feet or so of visibility at night. but, money is an issue for me, so i tend to only buy things i find that are cheap. that and getting my engine to run well, today i stalled 3 times over the course of a 5 minute trip, in addition to a very hard start.

by the way, its these blinkers, except both...and cheap

Those are very nice. I have the same color car you do, save for the body cladding as mine is an older model w124. It's my baby

Trust me, money is an issue for MOST of us...myself included. I used to gag at the thought of clear blinkers on my wagon (1988 TE), but I went ahead and said hey, what the hell let me try it out and see how it goes.

Mind you my friend the difference is INSANE! I mean not only does it make the car look cleaner, but the light output at night is SO much cleaner and classy

I bought what I think members here call "Frosted" corners. They cost me 9.99 -thats right $9.99- from a dealer on ebay. once those babies where on I was like, WHOA! The best part really is at night (I always said if I did end up buying clear corners that I would keep the amber bulbs but much to my surprise our bulbs are clear and not amber, or at least mine were clear!) the clear bulbs plus the "frosted" part of the lenses give off this very subtle and faintish light...its very attractive! It looks a bit like the fog lights on modern w210 E classes.

Anyways, you should definitely give them a try! you just can't go wrong
