Looks awesome. Maybe powdercoating not the entire rim but on the outer edges of the spokes. Maybe something like this, but grey.

So how's dat DVD player? I was looking @ that one. Given its size, does it have a wired remote pick-up and input that plugs in the back? Thanx.

Everything looks great........except the AMG logo on the glove box isn't needed and you are sucking hot air with the location of the intake. I'd try a different air box to get fresh air from the front of the car. Other than those two things, the car is incredible!

Dvd/tv Comand?
How can I get the COMAND unit that is tv/dvd capable?? I want! Also, is that your Sirius antenna behind the rear passenger headrests? Was thinking of getting one, but don't want the antenna slapped on my trunklid.

You need a European spec COMAND that is hooked up to a TV Tuner or AV gateway in order to play DVD on your COMAND screen. Try http://www.mbenznl.com

..........You can get the MB TV tuner with 2/V inputs from any of the above sources.
........alternatively, you can have your own North american Comand enabled for TV. This can be done by NAV-TV.com.
Since your car is a year 2000, certain early comand's are unable to have TV's enabled. If you choose to go with the Nav-TV option, you will need to have your Comand pulled and read the "Q" number to them to make sure yours can be version coded.
........Yes, that is my sirius antenna behind the rear passenger headrest. Works flawlessly. Except perharps for the CL and S-class that have some kind of satelite and radar absorbing windshields, I have never understood why people have their srius or XM antenna on the trunk or roof of their car.

I don't like the cheap look of that hood "///AMG" badge and the emblem on the glove box, the other ones that I have seen are of much higher quality. Otherwise, it's a very handsome car. Good Job!

Have you consider the AMG hood emblem that other board members have? The one that is solid brass with engraved AMG logo, not just the printed one.
I have this one my ashtray cover:
The CF AMG logo is supposed to be stuck on the side of the front fenders, right?

The car is real hot, congrats. One of the nicest i've seen, besides 1 appearance issue and one electronic suggestion.
The rims don't flow with the car. They look too small and they look cheap. Other than that, I see you have an Ipod FM modulated. Why not get a switch installed that would allow you to switch between the ipod and sat radio on the aux input?

The "CF" he has is photogenesis.

Anyway, while that part is kinda cool.... that car looks pretty nasty to me. Sorry, I guess it's all personal taste, don't think I'm an ******* because of my opinion. i'm sure people hate my car as well.
You should've gotten this hood badge
And added some REAL CF pillars

............also since you ask, the IPOD dock is both XM modulated and has the female end the 1/8 pin jack you are refering to which can be used to connect the IPOD to the AUX input in the glove box. It is located behind and to the right of the IPOD dock. I chose not to use it for the reason I gave above. Further, friends that come into my car, simply dock their IPOD on the dock right there. No wires or cables. Swapping of IPODS is easy and lessy messy.
