nice! and i actually like the iphone holder, ive seen those years back. where u can get them custom molded to ur dash in the matching leather. and tint never dies out, at least im just used to having it on every car. i cant stand people being able to stare at me at a light, creepy lol i just like privacy... and makes a huge difference with the sunlight. but tint does look better on lighter color cars, urs might be too much cause of your 150 windows lol. they charge extra for wagons anyway lol

don't you dare call my Google phone an iDevice, haha.. j/k The mount is made by a German company called KUDA, but they sell it in the US as well, Pretty cheap @ ~60 USD and its top notch quality. The cradle is made by a dutch company called Carcomm and is phone specific and charges the Nexus as well as connects it to the AUX input on my factory nav unit so I can stream Pandora or Youtube or MP3s files while I drive, REALLY handy and can't imagine going back to the CD changer or even XM as I had in my previous wagon.

I agree about the privacy factor of tint, I used to have dark limo tint on my previous wagon but I lived in ghetto Long Beach back then and int was a must if you parked on the streets.

unfortunately is there isnt much you can do to lower a 4matic besides cutting springs, which IMO on a mercedes is a completely safe practice as it uses tightly wound linear springs with 10+ coils, (plenty to cut from). Cutting 1 to 1.5 coils off the front and 1.5 off the rear with a carbite blade while keeping the spring cool by poring water on it to keep it from heating up too much and changing its spring rate on you. It should lower your wagon about 1.5" to 2", which is a bit higher then what my car was at in the first set of pics. Cutting coils off a springs increases its spring rate so couple that with a pair of Bilstein HD front shocks and you should have a sporty front end. As for the rear, after you cut the rear spring you need to adjust the rear self leveling hydraulic shock, otherwise even after cutting the spring the self leveling system will keep on raising to the rear end up, thinking there is load on the rear, not knowing that its actually a shorter spring.

Hope this helps.
