What model is that rear brake caliper from? S600 euro?
I believe you used SL55 setup upfront?

Also will B&O speakers work w/o B&O amp?
Thanks

that's crazy just for the tweeters! The price you said for the whole system for $1200, is that something that we can get too?

Thanks

Yeah I love to have those, How much and can you ship them to me?

I ordered the sills at the dealer but I'll cancel, is it a big deal installing the lighted ones?
