Nice Mods! Oddly enough, I think I like the Glossy vinyl black trim on chrome window and trunk trim is the best. What do you consider the black logo wheel caps? I swapped out my Merc Blue wreath center caps for black versions if this is what you are talking about. If you don't mind me asking, What was the total cost of the hologram puddle lights?

Stale-breed, yes I ordered the wheel caps that have black instead of blue.
Puddle lights were $20 on ebay, 2 minute install...

Thanks guys! Love the car!
As far as maintenance goes, I did my cabin filter and just got a mityvac to do my trans and engine oil too.
Also just got a Dell D630 and loaded all the Mercedes software on it, gonna learn and play with it a bit and then order the Mercedes equipment to hook up to car.

Just installed my cable for video in motion and NAV input! Works like it came from the factory this way. Took like 20 minutes to install, easy...

Here is a pic of the back.
I wouldnt worry about drilling into the bottom of the door panel, its all hollow down there. If you are worried just pull the panel off, you can make sure that its safe then.
I would like to change the wheels but ****ty roads here and Ive had 19s before. Im thinking about plastidip some part of my wheels, maybe an edge and see what it looks like.

You had your door panel removed and the hologram hard wired? Im guessing since the CLS isn't as popular they wont produce the plastic puddle light that's just plug and play.. I searched for about 3 hours yesterday and came up with ML,GLK,S,C,E.. nothing for CLS

Yeah, I plan on tint in the next couple weeks, but not real dark, probably 35% ceramic. its been too cold here to get it now.
The cable allows you watch movies while the car is moving and also allows address input for navigation while driving.
