Finally able to post some new pics of my ride:

I got my Pioneer avic-n2 installed with memphis audio Component Speakers 6 1/2" with 1" tweeters on the doors powered by a sony xplod amp in trunk.

New Tail Lights 2002 style half red and clear with Solaris bulbs in the turn signals to give it that invisable look so the amber is not showing.

Also I put on my new wood grain shift knob.

Thanx

some of the other mods I am working on are body kit, can't decide whether I want a carlson kit or amg one, clear side markers, h & r springs with mb # 1 pads which I already have, koni sport shocks which I ready have, camber kits, custom headlights(HID), JL audio subs W6, head rest TV's, rims 19's or 20's. Of course it all boils down to money and my house comes first.

Where did you get the tail lights & shift *** ? Cost ?

I have a '99 E430 - will those tail lights fit my vehicle with out any modifications ?

ruffrob

I totally agree,but when you do get your speakers,stick with those JL's,I've had mine for almost three months,and I still wonder why I didn't get them sooner.....Good Luck

looking good there.......polish up that wood trim though

Richard / E320

That brings up a good question: what's the best way and product to use on the wood to minimize the scratches.

Alexbenz

i forgot what i used a long time ago but there was a thread that covered this......gotta search for it......i'll see what i can find

I got the tail lights from ebay ($120), and no modification needed except I bought 2002 e-class brake light plugs 7 dollars each from Mercedes.

I got the shift knob from ($85): http://carpartsdiscount.com/category....mercedesbenz/

but just do a google search and you should be able to find one.

swap the HU and the AC controls and ill bet you'll be happier with it. BTW why did you stick a sony amp in that car?

TruE320Ridah14

Thanks for suggestion but I actually like the hu were it is I did think of moving it in the AC slot but I did not want it that high up.

Due to my car being a 8 speaker bose I powered the sony amp to the componet speakers in the front doors to give them more power than my HU would, then I ran the HU power to the back seat door speakers and the deck lid door speakers. If you want to see what the kind of Sony amp I put in the trunk let me know and I could post some pics. Its a 800 watt total power 4 channel amp that I bridged to 2 channel and I set the power that when I put the volume to max on my HU I would not blow out my door speakers.

Nice Upgrades + Mods...
on your N2, is your passenger able to watch video while you are driving?

cheers!

Is it an Xplod??

TruE320Ridah14

yes it is, I bought it from a buddy of mine for $40.00 dollars due to the fact that he did not need it anymore.

I also installed aluminum door pins and surrounds just 2 days ago.
