Looking good. If you are interested the best mod I've done verses cost is the rear tail light replacement with the AMG ones. Updates the rear end big time IMO!

They were well...... Free..... kinda.

They came off the AMG but I did have them chromed.
They were the original 19" wheels.

The dealer who I bought the CLS from did it for me. Rip off....

There are places on the west coast that do a chrome exchange for your wheels. I can try to get you the info.

Lotus.....

Really not sad to see it go. Fun car but we never drove it.

My wife cracked the spoiler and was scared to drive it. the most attention it got was the bi-weekly battery charge. Put like 700 miles on it in 11 months for a total of 977.

Fortunately it sold in 3 days locally in NC.

Hi trauma Doc,

We seem to have a lot of the same cars. G wagon, CLS, and now we both got SL's! =) I got an 08 SL600, and ready to mod it up again =)

Glad to see you with an SL! We really turn those 600 cars into monsters...... she 'may' have liked it.... but you would have loved it!
