Got My Tectite 04 E55 Yesterday

I took it easy on the way back home (6+ hours with recently torn right calf). Here are some pics from the dealer's ad...

Thanks! After all of the drama, I honestly can't say that I'm sure I got a great deal. I don't think any dealers were moving enough on prices. They sold me the car for around $76,500 (said that they had $75K in it ) and gave me the most for my trade $33,000 (vs as little as $30K other dealers had quoted me). My trade also had COMPLETELY bald tires and scrapes and impact marks on the rear bumper (a chick had rear ended me doing about 5 mph). It has 7,800 miles, non-certified (Porsche dealer), navigation, 6 disc changer, parktronic, ventilated front seats. The car is pristine and I love it! Tim Racco at Porsche of Naples was great to deal with and I would buy from him again in a heartbeat. They had two black Carerra GTs, a used SL65 and Ferrari F355. I still stared at my Tectite E55 the whole time though.

Awesome!!! Tectite is the best color for the E-Class, but then again, I'm just a little biased.

Thanks guys. I'm not sure about mods yet. For now I'm leaning toward not risking my warranty. Once I lose a race I'll probably change my tune.

Ahhh.. Just pick up the phone and either call Cory @ Kleemann or Brad @ Evosport. Both great companies with good power packages.

Tell them you want to talk to: Stage 2. That should do the trick.

I <3 tectite gray! I wanted that color for my w210 E55! But I got Obsidian black, which Im glad I got afterall :P

You need to redo your rear triangular window tint. That spot they didnt tint can be tinted. The rubber needs to be slices slightly to allow the film to slip through. Its the same issue on W210's.
