Come join us for our Santa Hat Project for our smarts. We plan to start the sewing in October and then drive our cars, with the hats, in one or more of the local holiday parades.

Pattern and materials have been selected and will need to be ordered no later than October 9th, hat count by October 1 would be best.



Cost $25.00 per hat

Mike, thanks for the info. I'll try Smart Center Cary, Winston-Salem wasn't the least bit interested in helping me acquire and install the fogs. They will help Sue's night blindness.

Charlie & Sue,
Any authorized smart service center (smart Center of Cary, for instance) can install smart factory-supplied fog lights for ~$350. These will fit the front fascia of your wife's smart with no cutting, welding, or rewiring necessary. They will plug into the existing wiring, and the service center will add a new fog light button to the center switch console. The on-board computer will need a minor program adjustment to allow fog light use only when the headlights are on. I want to have this same work done on my cabriolet at some point. I missed the fog lights and tach on my initial on-line order form. Good luck!

I went to MB Winston-Salem looking for a foglight kit and installlation. They said they couldn't gey a foglight kit. The alternative was to add aBarabus twin headlight assembly for $700 +labor, even then he wasn't sure they do it. I want a functional, factory issue, installed in my Smart. Does anyone know of a parts source and someone qualified to install it? this is my wife's car and she has night blindness. Our original order was for a foglight equipped car but an orphan came available and jumped on it. Hope someone can help. Also, in regards to Larry's comment is it possible to install cruise and for how much? My wife would be in Seventh Heaven. I'm also inthe Hickort area.
Thanks, Charlie and Sue Sharrard

Anyone know of a good place to have work done like adding cruise control, in the Charlotte, or better yet, Hickory area?
