Mac99,
Did the wood insert for the shift gate come with the car or did you add that in later? Did Steve provide the new wood panelling around the Command unit or did you get it for yourself?
I'm trying to find an alternate source for these parts that isn't from the dealership (they wanted way too much money for the shift gate insert).

I actually bought the wood insert for the shift gate from Mercedesshop.com, ask for phil, because my car came with the the plastic insert unlike those 99 models (mine's 98)
I think the best deal on parts you can get is through Steve, MBenzNL, his emai is s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com. He'll get you anything that you ever dreamed off on your car, lol. Oh, he bought me the center wood panel from Europe when he installed my comand. Hope this helps!

mac99, I need to lower my car a little more in the front. I haven't checked to see what size spring pads I have but I will do so very soon. My side rockers are being painted right now and like I said before, I am still in search of that Carlsson front bumper. I have not had the time to intall the new blinker mirrors yet but I have all of the instructions that were posted by our fellow members here (thanks everyone). As for something coming up, on Saturday May 31st, there is a meet in Northridge at the Starbucks on Devonshire and Reseda at 3pm. I posted this in another thread as this has been put together by SilvaC32. Check out the thread for details and I hope you can make it! Let me know as it should be a cool turn out!

'04 Silverado Z71 - sold all my Benzes and need another!
mac99, thanks for the info. on alebenz's ride, he has the exact front bumper I am looking for so I asked him for any info. he can provide me. Great, I hope you can make it on the 31st. Now, as for the body shop I have a great one in Northridge as well. He painted my rear bumper and now my side skirts and a lot of my other friend's BMW's and Mercedes. His name is Rich and he's a good friend of mine so just tell him that Jimmy the Greek sent you. Here is his shop info:
APB = Advanced Paint & Body
Rich (818) 718-2724
Let me know how it goes or if you would like me to call him and set something up for you. I would be more than happy too.

thanx for the compliment, i had the Evosport prepainted side marker instead of cleared color ones, and they match the paint perfectly.

trustz, just a quick tip, you can actually find the clear side markers on ebay but beware of the crytal clear/fake looking ones. They tend to look a little ricey for my taste. The OEM Euro ones look a lot better and I have seen a couple of those sets sold on ebay in the past month. Much luck on your search and mac99 is cool and has lots of hook-ups as well. You can also try www.evosport.com and they can pretty much get you what your looking for. If you don't see it listed just shoot them an e-mail.
