I checked if it is possible to change the front bumper to the S63 option. This is possible but it will take more than just the front bumper to be changed. The front reinforcement, headlamp washer, fog lights, all moldings, and the price difference is much more. The insurance will not pay for this. So I will stick with my regular AMG Bumper.

See if they're willing to fill up those side markers for you (if you want to do it of course). Probably illegal but I think they cheapen the whole front end.

well I wouldn't want to fill them in - but I was wondering if changing them to white lights might be a nice change. Don't know. Right now - I just want the car back like new - then ill consider some things like that.

You could try and find clear side markers and have them put in stealth bulbs. They're clear when they're off, but are amber when on.

Well - while I know that seems like a good idea... I don't earn enough to go ahead and do that. I am starting my own company and think the money is best used to grow the company.

What do you mean? $15k discount? You mean if I wanted to get a new one? If thats the case, I have not seen $15k discounts...that would be attractive to buyers looking for new S Classes for sure.

By the way - you would be so surprised how many people call me out "Are you Chucky" etc....

My favorite episode was when I was driving (rather quickly) down a highway on Long Island on my way to see my friend and her father (Senator Karl Marcellino). I notice this SUV tailing me and following me, so I stepped up the driving and tried to lose him - but sure enough - he kept up. To make a long story short - it was "Taurian" from Mbworld

Was VERY funny and we had a great laugh.

I also have seen "Designo1" quite few times on Ocean Pkwy lately . What I don't see for a long time, are the cops hidden right before the intersection and waiting for a red light offenders. Local people know about it and try to beat the red light. Unfortunately that's what happened to you. Sorry to hear it.

Hi,

Are you saying that I tried to beat a red light? Or you are referring to the truck?

ah. The thing is - he didn't just pass the red light - but he attempted to cross 6 lanes of traffic - before cars began driving once their light turned green. Because I was driving already down the road, most cars were sitting at the light eventhough it was green while I already was in motion.
