GL450 Premier Edition
The mods look great!! I just got a Premier Edition. I am interested to know how much the mod for the backup camera cost since they are not available until the July build cars.

I would love to know more about the back-up cam/dvd as well, which one did you buy? did you do install yourself? if so, was it easy? I have done the hood fins and ipod integration as well and hoping to get my rims this coming week. How is the ride quality with your 22's? Change at all, big difference? What brand rims and tires did you put on?

I have 2006 edition Antera 22" wheels with Falken rubber and am enjoying the ride quality. No noticeable increase in road noise and ride is still soft and comfortable. Plus they work with the tire pressure monitoring system.

I had my NJ customizing shop (Action Tire, Lodi, NJ) do the complex integration work. If you go there ask for Allen. The safety and piece of mind of having the backup cam is worth the price.

I want to have an additional swing down monitor installed in the future.

No...I've always had luck with tinted windows. I have had friends with darker, limo tint get pulled over for it.

I do not know what brand camera they used but I love this one. You can see in total darkness with just the help of the reverse lamps.
