He's been having trouble with the shipping company, apparently.
That's cool! So you using your old tires from your MRR's or are you buying new ones?

You gotta post some under construction pics during the make over!!!

Will Clayton give me an asian discount even though he's not asian?????

actually he's got brilliant silver and i've got iridium silver. they sort of look alike i guess. maybe a 2 tone rear might look nice.

i'ved had my sevas wheels on order for over a year. what i wanted was the s-55 (if i remember correctly) 20's, chrome lip with black centers. i kept on getting, it's next month, next week, shipping delay's, ordered wrong bolt pattern, had to send out to get black powder coating, etc. i heard it all , and along the way, i paid in full. i was dealing with the local dealer and even when i call sevas direct , i get the same run around as my dealer did. in oct 07, i got my money back, and am still looking for a descent wheel. sevas still looks good though.

HOLY CHIT, A YEAR?!?!!?

I purchased mine through the group buy which were the Sevas Forged line, not the 1 pc cast Sevas line. Anyway, about 1/2 the people have received their wheels already and they're waiting on the last couple pallets to be delivered. They're supposed to be coming in today. It's been about 12 weeks for me and they're refunding a sizable amount to me to keep me happy. However, if they're not on my doorstep by this time next week, I'll be canceling my order and getting a set of HRE's or VIP Modulars.

That's cool! So you using your old tires from your MRR's or are you buying new ones?

I've got a set of Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s sitting in my basement with about 50-75% life left. I'll burn through those then get something else.

I always give good deals. And you'll get an extra good deal for being an Asian guy named Arnold.

Every shop is different on pricing. Figure about $200.00 for a well done job.
I believe the LED tails were available since 2003. They were part of the Sport and Appearance packages on the W211, IIRC.

Clayton,

Hey Derrick,

I'll shoot you some pics when I get the car back. I saw them the other day and they look amazing. The place did an outstanding job on them and they're near you in Herndon. My car is still there if you want to shoot by and take a look. PM me and I'll give you their info.

Thanks...

What's the advantage of LED tail lights, other than they don't burn out?

Is the external lens of the LED tail light different?

External lens is the same, the LED ones just look cooler.

Oh... you mean when they turn on, you see a lot of little RED dots emitting from a RED lens? OR a clear lens if that's the case...
