What special about 2006+ stuffs, Benz ?

Benz_05TSX
10-26-2012, 06:05 PM
^ The 2006+ tail lights, the inner circle where the reverse bulb is, its smoked/tinted vs. the 2005 which is clear. All the circle has a different reflective pattern as well. 2006 HID ballast is smaller and will fit perfectly on my 2008 JDM headlights. The 2005 HID ballast is bigger and does not fit directly on the newer headlights. Thus exposing the hole on the bottom which can cause condensation. I don't want to fill that hole either because I don't like to temper with OEM parts.

it's weird cuz I had a 335xi for almost 2 year before this, only had 1 full service done and it was totally free.

on the AMG.. have 2 full service done in 1 year and 3 months with 22k km... I understand the AMG engine is expensive to maintain but it's such a unreasonable rip off !!! lol

^ I guess when you buy an AMG/RS/M car, they know you are willing to spend more on maintenance Vs C250/A4/323i consumers......Let's say MB charges $150/hr labour....they spent over 4hrs inspecting your car??? sounds like a 1hr or 2hr job tops!

Started taking out the old ugly purple tint that came with my car.
Having some trouble with rear window, tint is very brittle because of the years of exposure it had to the sun.

Breaks off right away when attempt to pull if off smoothly. I'm only able to take it off with a razor but obviously I can't do that where the heater lines are.
Side windows came off fine as they weren't nearly as sun damaged as the rear window.
I tried spraying degreaser we have a work and it helps the tint come off clean with a razor but cant peel it all off because of how brittle it is.
Any tips of how I can take it off?

Shorai LFX36L3-BS12 Lithium-Iron Powersports battery installed. It is only 4.96 lbs. It is 2/3 lighter than Odyssey PC680 racing battery. Amazing. The Shorai runs pretty smooth.
Cranking CCA is 540. Car cranked strong on the first try and run really smooth. Now voltage of battery is almost 14v.

Breaks off right away when attempt to pull if off smoothly. I'm only able to take it off with a razor but obviously I can't do that where the heater lines are.
Side windows came off fine as they weren't nearly as sun damaged as the rear window.
I tried spraying degreaser we have a work and it helps the tint come off clean with a razor but cant peel it all off because of how brittle it is.
Any tips of how I can take it off?

I had the same problem not long ago and surprisingly enough the best thing to get it out is gasoline, funnel some 87 octane into a spray bottle and use an old t-shirt or cloth and it should wipe right out.

Acetone also works. If you have nail polish remover around, that has acetone in it and should work as well. I used my girlfriend's nailpolish remover on my car and then it smelled like sunshine afterwards. :tears:

Took a few valve covers to U-blast and in Langley and did some media blasting. Never going to bother with paint stripping chemicals again if I don’t have to. Highly recommend this place, they will suggest the correct media to use, facilities are clean and well setup, they charge about 63 bucks an hour but it only took me about 45 minutes to do three valve covers.

Started taking the LS1 out of my donor car. Mostly wiring, headers, coilpacks, etc.

I decided to take all the front panels off and hack the front end back a couple of feet to make things easier when I go to pull the motor.

Then I started going through the wiring, marking them off and taking note of how they're routed. Came across some half-ass, hack-job connections that I'm going to have to fix later (unless I decide to shell out $1k for a custom plug and play unit).

There, that frees up some space:

No, in fact it would have been more of a hassle.

Undercoating is meant to repel material, blasting it takes forever if you aren't using sand, and the media isn't cheap.

Stripping most of it off, only leaving the residue, makes it tremendously easy to blast it clean with walnut media, not to mention that it takes a third of the media to complete.

Then why not use sand? Well, sand heats up the surface like nobody's business, meaning that the time it takes to strip the undercoating off would most likely warp the thin 22 guage metal. Sand is an antique in terms of blasting media, it simply causes too many problems unless it's on thick metal.


The only way we would have bothered treating the car first, is if we brought it to an acid dipping facility, but that is REALLY expensive compared to this method.

Just an FYI, only get CREE LED's for reverse lights if they point straight back, as the TSX.

My Accord had reverse lights that are angled at 45 degrees, and the reverse lights would shine at that angle only. If you're reverse lights are angled and you want LED's you need SMD bulbs.

needed a car wash so I decided to try out sensha-ya... a RS sponser. Overall, the service was good. Very fast wash.. less than 10 minutes but they did miss a spot on the bottom passenger door. They were all japanese and had difficulty understanding english. Before I told them what I wanted them to do, they started to wash the car while I was still inside the car lol. Then they told me to step out and they started to clean the interior. I told them to stop because I didn't want to pay more for interior cleaning. When I went inside to pay, I was expecting to pay $25 like advertised on the website but I was only charged just over $16. Probably there was a promotion that I wasn't aware about. I remember RS having a thread on this carwash place and how you guys praised about all the LGs washing their cars. Well, there were two cute girls working today and washing my car :fullofwin:

needed a car wash so I decided to try out sensha-ya... a RS sponser. Overall, the service was good. Very fast wash.. less than 10 minutes but they did miss a spot on the bottom passenger door. They were all japanese and had difficulty understanding english. Before I told them what I wanted them to do, they started to wash the car while I was still inside the car lol. Then they told me to step out and they started to clean the interior. I told them to stop because I didn't want to pay more for interior cleaning. When I went inside to pay, I was expecting to pay $25 like advertised on the website but I was only charged just over $16. Probably there was a promotion that I wasn't aware about. I remember RS having a thread on this carwash place and how you guys praised about all the LGs washing their cars. Well, there were two cute girls working today and washing my car :fullofwin:
