i am having them painted mb billiant silver where the inlay in currently gray come winter.

i did have the wheels painted mb brilliant silver to allow additional depth versus the gray inserts. i also kept the machined finish on the face. more pics to follow once they are reinstalled come spring.

It's nice seeing another girl on here.
I debated on that color, but ended with Diamond White because i love it MORE. So here we are, meet "Casper"
30% tint all around
HID kit from DDM Tuning & LEDs from AznOptics
JBspeed Trunk Lip
18" AMG 5 twin-spoke rims (will be installed after i run down the stock setup)
H&R Springs or Eibach Pro-Kit (not sure which one to get ... yet)

Nope, no lighting package ... kinda steep for just an option (which comes factory with acuras, go figure) ... but i have the lighting effect that i like which matches all around, so i'm good. saved myself a good $1200.

I am sorry and I dont mean to be rude or anything. I am just yet to understand the point of not getting the lighting package. The reasons you pointed out, $1200 that adds $20 to your lease payment, or the fact that other cars come with it standard is a motive for you not to have it? it is one of the nicest options and to me, a must have one. Car looks cheap without it and looks badass with it. it adds that last touch of luxury to the car.. I see a ton of mercedez on the street without the lighting package and every time I see one I shake my head. I know it is none of my business and etc.. but what is $20 a month? Yes it should be a standard feature, no doubt about it. But if it is not, what can we do?
I hope you enjoy the car, I have the same color Diamond White with Red interior...

And with all do respect, my mortgage and family are absolutely well worth my money than lights on a car.
ANYWAYS, let's get back to praising each others' cars, like yours (cavasotti) ... did you plastidip or get your stuff painted?

I understand your point, and i'm sorry my choice wasn't to your liking. But trust me when i say, i don't regret my decision (to each their own). And well, there's a bunch of us out there that didn't get the lighting package - hence the HID conversion threads.

I guess people have different priorities in life, but no disrespect, to each's own.

@sheizfreshhh ... damn girl, i'm SO glad i'm not the only girl wanting to "spruce" up the benz coupe. LOL, i swear i was the only girl with a fixed up acura tsx on the tsx forums for so long. ANYWAYS, nicely done - was it hard to plastidip? I feel like i want to just matte black paint it, but i might get an extra grill just to experiment on. btw, satin black - nice touch.
@alexlev who's the ebay seller? which kind of grill is that, sls type?
@angeloxnet ... thanks
