Smitty0881 post pics of your car
i recall one member purchasing the AC kit but i don't remember his name. you can search for it. there are some wald wheels that look like the work euroline dh but with a cheaper price. i'll try to find it for you. they look great.

What did you do to that e-class?!!! You can't even recognize it no more!!!

I've retrofitted my ES with Bosch projectors. It was fairly easy to take headlights apart, you know the usual baking...

Looking forward to see how this car will turn out.

They were about $40 from this website: http://jlevistreetwerks.com/store/pr...roducts_id=321

It just kind of sucks cause I lost one puddle light on one side but I'm replacing it tomorrow.

They wasent hard at all to install. The lights come attched to a metal bracket and I just used a self tapping screw to put them in place. But the light itself is attached to the bracket by some tape and the tape sucks. (Thats why I'm missing one on the passenger side. The tape came loose as I was going down the beltway and the light broke. ) So what I did was used some 3M double adheasive tape to keep them in place or you can use super glue or JB Weld like one of my other friends did.

Thanks bro. I'm going to be taking more pictures today and I'll have my tripod so hopefully they will come out better and not blurry.
