Only minor things
X K KA Laser and Laser diffuser.
Front and rear camera that records video and audio has its own screen and chip to remove to view.
Front star in grill illuminated with cut off switch under dash
Illuminated sills on car front and rear
Illuminated projector lens in all doors that project Mercedes Benz logo
Glass holder on drivers side overhead grip.
Diamond plated brake Gas and emergency pedals
Outside chrome handle cups front and rear.
Inside cup holder on door arm grip front and rear.
Mercedes Benz nuts for license plate and valve stems.
Removed wire strap on passenger side floor near net that was irritating
Removed ash tray and customized it to accept an I phone.
In the process of hooking up an Aoooga horn
I am sure I am forgetting something. I am used to working on old muscle cars and I have nothing else to do during the winter so I tinker on the car. I have had it over 2 years and it has about 7,000 miles mostly from the 16 year old grandson driving it. It usually sits in the garage covered up. Wife does not like it because car talks to her. Made me keep her 2001 Cadillac deville with 28,000 miles on it

68k. Just had to replace the pulsation dampener, belts, pulleys, brakes and rotors. Running like new now. Any recommendation on cold air intakes? Does that have much of an effect on mpg and performance?

Also, do you know if there are any error free LED DRL's that work on this car? I have bought several and they don't work (flicker light every 10 seconds). Do I need capacitors?

Our units are error free. You need canbus units. We designed our units specifically to work with canbus systems.

Great! Thank you. I've purchased your LED DRL's and will let you know how they work.

I decided to switch the black wheels for these. What do you think?

They are staggered 20's. I didn't want to go too large. It reduces ride comfort. The black wheels were 19's but tires and wheels in that size are hard to find which makes the tires very expensive in comparison the 20's.
