Pics after spring cleaning

Last fall I had traded in my '07 Black Gl450 and purchased a CPOed 2010. Haven't posted any pics my new silver Gl450 so I thought I would after cleaning it up today. Have purchased both a set of Vossen wheels and Brabus exhaust from fellow forum members. Love the LED daytime lights on the newer GL's and also this time got a hitch as well!! Loved my '07 but like the look of the new revised look as well!!!

I'm jealous of your rims and exhaust.

Does it sound deeper? Burly?

Nice car...I purchased my car from the same Natick dealership.

How do you like those Toyo tires? ST2s?

I'll make a vid of the exhaust soon. Was gonna do it today but the camcorder battery had run out!!! Its definitely deeper, but nothing too loud. From inside the car you can't tell much difference, but from the outside you can.

Good eye on the tires!! Yes those are ST2 - they are great so far - a little louder than the stock contis going around town, but at highway speed you cannot tell a difference. They look pretty cool too!!
