new goodies

Got a few things for the SLK, dropping it off tomorrow at Eye Candy in Orlando to get the system nicely installed. Re-smoked the rear lights and the whole Suede has been re-done with higher quality material, this time the front A-pillars were done as well.

Let me know what you guys think. Also, Dan thanks for the hook up on the camera! This thing takes insane pics!

More pics to come later this week.

Man.....I envy you!!!

I'll be mooving to Jacksonville in about 1.5-2 months. Hopefully in one of my trips to Orlando I can see your beast! For sure you seem to know all the places in the area that do superb-custom jobs....I may need your reccomendations inthe future! Here in Ohio is very hard to get anything done profesionally.

Definitely! I don't think I know anyone else with a SLK55 unless it was just a pass by! We have to get together, you'll love Florida! Keep in touch!

Thanks a lot brotha! The last job was done by someone who didn't know what they were doing, same goes for the Suede! This time, all was done by Eye Candy!

It's looking pretty damn good so far! Soon, it will sound good too. There goes the trunk space! The suede is a nice touch. You should be the first to get your dash redone in leather. That would be beautiful. (you can find it on the AMG forum website)

BTW, I still haven't done my audio upgrade. I just keep lagging on it. I've had the sub and amp sitting in the box for over 6 months

I told my Interior guy to look into it! I saw a SLK55 with the leather interior in Affalterbach when I visited the factory. All I can say about that, is WOW! I wish I knew how it could be done the same way here in the US.

Regarding Trunk Space, sorry to burst your bubble but I will still be able to put luggage in there
The system will be set up so that the 10's are where the donut is, and the AMP will be against the front wall (under the DVD navi drive)...

Pics to come! But if anyone has information on doing the leather interior, I'm all ears!
