And I thought you were the original owner...!

The 500E battery and my CLK55 battery are still white. Some MB batteries are made by interstate and others by a supplier that name starts with a V....

I put dynamat thru the whole cabin, roof included. Made a noticable difference, I imagine the trunk needs it as well if there is any kind of stereo.

As for the carpet, I wonder if mine was replaced at one time. I don't understand why it wouldn't have a black backing. Although the interior carpets from MB that I just ordered were not identical in the way the heel pad and snaps were done.
