dunno why the images aren't showing....when I use my home pc, I can see them here on this thread, but when I log on from work, I can't see the images either. I'll try and figure out what I did wrong.

I got the mats for $109.00 and the bumper joint for $19.90 at my local Benz dealer... The dealership will take out the ding in the hood this week for $175/panel.
She is loaded with some the standard options... rear sunshade, etc... nothing spectacular.
I love the ride, very very smooth. Very satisfied with the service I was provided with at my local dealership here...
I was getting some violent vibrations at around 45MPH... dropped it off at 7:30AM, they had a driver drive me to my house so I could make it to work on time. By 4:30PM, they performed an alignment, rotated the tires in the back, installed new tires on the front, did an oil change, filter change, all fluids checked and filled and the car was ready for pickup. When I picked it up it was washed and the tires were greased up...

The only two things that are on my mind right now are...
For some odd reason, exactly between 65MPH and 72MPH there is some vibration throughout the whole car... it's nothing like what I was getting before I went to the dealer, but it's noticeable...
I am probably going to have them change the rear tires as well this week... do you think that will help?
Second is, I need to put some AMG wheels on this baby...
