Nice ride X..any mods coming?

jangy

What is that?

Huper Optik is a ceramic based tinting film from Germany which reflects alot of IR to keep your car cool.

I don't think they can stop you for just no front plates, it's not a primary offense.

Thanks Al......

Jack, I've just received the euro command in the mail the other day. I will install that this weeekend. As for mods, its a fully loaded car. Possibly folding mirrors could be a mod. Or E63 trunk lid. As for the engine, I dont need more reason to suck up gas..... plus 469 is enough for me.

At this point, if i take off the plates, i;ll have ugly holes in my bumper to deal with....Not sure what will looked worse, plate or holes!

RJC

On darker color the little holes don't look so bad, see if you can find small little plastic caps to cover the holes and have them painted. Congrats on the car .

Kev04C320

Get those bumper plugs to plug the holes (get them painted to body color though. They will not be very conspicuous on a Midnight Blue E55.

I am waiting for my Carlsson front lip to come in and then I will paint the whole front bumber to eliminate the front licence plate.

Kev,

When are we gonna get together and take some pictures!

SoxFan

I'll join in on that rendez-vous. I'm getting a K40 Bluetooth Radar/Laser detector and laser defuser installed in Dedham today...anyone want to go in on one as well...maybe we can get a better deal?

Hi

The car look great.
Did you by the panoramic roof, with the solar panels on the roof?

Sofan,

We should definatley meet up to take some killer pictures. SOrry I didn't get back to you via email. I have been busy all weekend. In any case, I bought the V1 radar detector so I am not in the market right now. Sorry bro.....

So really sure if my pano roof has the solar panels on the roof or not. It would be nice to know. How can I find out?

SoxFan

I seriously considered this car. It does look great, and it's loaded. It has the pano roof, but no solar panels. The only "negative" is high miles, but that's just a money thing, and he gets 18 months or so of free maintenance, which is nice.

I am curious, where are those cars with the solar panels, and what happened to them (did they discontinue them in 2005)?

Also, what are people's favorite snow tires? I used Blizzard's on my CLK55 and they seemed pretty good...this time around, I am thinking of getting a spare set of rims as well...anyone know a good source for a good deal on winter rims? What about used/reconditioned rims? [For your people in CA, FL, AZ, or with big garages and multiple cars, including a Range Rover, ignore this question.]

SoxFan

OK...you're all set. I live in Brookline and work in the SOWA, and am generally available. How's your golf game?
