MBWorld Fanatic!
Looks great, MJ! I know what you mean about mod fever. I've experienced some of that with the CLK55.
Where did you get your sidemarkers painted?

3rd, the IMS (Interior Motion Sensor)
install is simpler than 203 since no headliner cutting is needed...
notice on the last pic, the IMS sensor pops out when armed and goes back in when disarmed...

6th, this was not planned and required game-time decision making...
VCM (Voice Control Module) with voice control lever/stalk...
the module is actually a Maybach part!
lever/stalk
screen
works great with BT puck w/ tail...

daaaaaaaamn!
looks crazy, MBenzNL mods ftw!
very nice, I can't wait to see all those mods in person... maybe even this week since B is here.
did you have him lower it?
p.s. that iPod kit looks very familiar... but, monkey and I would absolutely not be able to do that!

Steve ROCKS!!! Thanks for the pix!!
I love it! Too bad you got the iPod mod. I wish I had a chance to dissuade you. The MB iPod implementation is horrible and you will soon learn what I mean. Oh well. But you are much better off with Steve doing it that your stealership. Steve rocks.

'04 Silverado Z71 - sold all my Benzes and need another!
NICE! Once I get the 55 or 63 sometime later this year, Steve's going to get a call. For now, I scheduled an appt. with him for John and my Euro Command for version coding tomorrow. I have to work but I'm going to try to make it down to HB to see him. Known Steve a long time, great person!
