That looks nice. Wald makes some nice stuff, a bit pricey.

Sorry, but I don't think it's an improvement from stock. It still just looks like a bunch of cheap (maybe expensive) plastic pieces tacked on, IMHO.

Don't forget an oversized tach and A-pillar guages...

Those items are also worth a few more MPH.

Yeah now price out shipping from Japan!

All show and no go? Who says that isn't a euro spec 560SEL with 300hp? Or who says it doesn't have a 6L AMG V8 resting under the hood?

I hear that - people sometimes say that about my car....but when the blower hits and I read my A pillar gauges for boost and fuel press...it moves...

I think he was being sarcastic. Besides you would have to change the ribbed plastic panals on the doors for that kit to look right on a pre 85 W126.
