Looks brilliant. Did you paint the headlights inside?

Would look even better if you paint the air vents on the hood and grill black.

Thanks guys. I do plan on getting the mirrors. I don't plan on doing the headlight conversion because I think the mod is over priced especially the aftermarket set.
I did paint the inside of the headlights and Im considering either wrapping the grill and hood vents or plastidip them gloss black so I can remove them if they aren't to my liking

I plan on doing the same. Using plastidip to paint the two air vents on the hood. i will also plastidip the bottom quarter of the side mirror and the piece that bolts to the door. i see white C classes come from factory like that and i love it. nice accents.

2013 S550 4matic (AMG sport package), 2016 Corvette Stingray.
You just need to remove that 4matic badge now, it just doesn't go with the quad exhaust. Also update those mirrors and ur done, however the 2014 models went back to the rounded mirrors so u may be just fiine.

Are u selling the factory 20's?

Looks good! I have my grill plastic dipped and it has held up pretty well. I'm thinking about getting it painted though but haven't gotten to it yet. I'd also be interested in how you painted your headlights. Did you DIY or did someone do it for you?

The 4matic badge with quad exhaust really doesn't bother me honestly. Im not trying to fake the funk and pretend to have a 63 amg lol I just always prefer quad over dual. Mirrors I might get the aftermarket set with v shaped led as I prefer the oval shape over the square imho.
As for the headlights, I sent them to a custom shop and they opened the lights, Painted the housing and resealed them.
And I still have my factory 20s and don't plan to ever sell them as the aftermarket sets aren't as durable

On ok I know someone who's looking for a set. I won't sell him mines because I prefer factory wheels over aftermarket.
