1000 Mile/Reus Audio

Thanks. Will do. The only bug so far is an "open hood" message i frequently get at speed-probably a microswitch that needs tweaking.

BTW, I got a Reus audio upgrade. It sounds great. The only cost besides $ was the loss of 2 inches of height in the trunkwell. Had a bit of a scare after the installation when the roof would not operate. Cliff personally escorted me to Anaheim MB and they discovered the problem- a microswitch in the trunk had gotten dislodged. Reus took good care of me. And the sound is really remarkably better. There's a tweeter in the back of the rear view mirror and it bounces sound off the WS making the soundstage right out in front of you.

Beautiful automobile. Enjoy. Currently have Sunil looking for the same wheels, used if possible. Don't even think about tinting yours. They're perfect.

Congratulations, Awesome car. Dont see that many 2007 SL55`s
around. Way more SL550`s it seems this year.

If you live local. Here is a tip.
Rick Reus needs an SL55 for a demo.
He is my neighbor over at his shop in Orange, CA.
You may get him down on the unit more. I think he needs a
car for a show or something that has the installation.

He was bugging me the other day to do the install on my SL55.
But I want to keep it stock still.

Good Luck.
