Mark -

Looks very nice. I love the brown. MBZ hasn't offered this color in years, and probably won't because everyone has to have black or silver. If I remember correctly, your car also features walnut wood in the interior?

By the way, is that your 'Bego next to the 380?

ya thats the family motorhome. The car has the factory "burl walnut" in it. Snibble...it costed me 3 grand to get it done and took 3 and 1/2 weeks and the prep work they did was intense.......right down the bare metal...i saw it with my own eyes and it almost made me cry but the result is more than amazing. It looks better in person than my cheap camera.

Here is a pic my freind took of the new deck a month ago and you can see the wood.

The pioneer deck actually kind of goes good with the interior and when you turn off the option of the videos playing on the screen it looks very professional especially at night. Sound is amazing and each speaker is controlled independantly with regards to bass, treble and mids. This Pioneer model is one step down from their best one which costs $1000.

That is one great looking car and a fantastic paintjob!! You gotta be proud! The paint's so good, I could tell you were wearing blue shorts, a white tee shirt and sneakers when you took the pics!

The reflection's in the back of the side-view mirror!
