Modding with Steve never ends..... the list always gets longer no matter how much you do.

I just added the trunk rail system, trunk closer (with remote key closing option THANKS MARK!), fire extinguisher, trunk warning triangle, and the CLS63 cluster but with the black bezel.

The CLS63 cluster is sweet. It will flash the oil temperature until it reaches the normal operating temperature. The lap timer is pretty cool too.

My list also got longer as Steve worked on the car.

I'll post pictures in another thread of my recent installs when I return to LA for Christmas.

WTF remote closing of the trunk?? I have the trunk closer what else do I need for that?? I need to have Steve turn off my keyless go buzzer thing telling me not to forget my key.... Which is in my pocket... Sigh. My car is in service in Santa barbara for oil change and I asked then to turn it off. They said no and that it was liability and car safety issue rotfl.
