congrats man! My 2014 should be coming in end of December. Pretty much like yours plus the lane tracking package, black leather and black exterior.
What tint % are you planning on getting?
How are you going about blacking out your side markers?
I really like the c63 styled front grilles, but the only way to get it on the c350 is to buy a china remake of it on ebay; i don't know how I feel about having that part on my car yet.

On my last c-class I went to someone who used some type of spray and that a couple years. I'm open to suggestions, ive seen blacked out side markers for sale on ebay but i didn't trust the china remake aswell.

My friend got his done with a mix of 3 parts black paint and 1 part clear coat. I haven't decided whether to black them out or just paint over them. Regardless of what you pick it's illegal.
Are you planning on using a front license plate? In my opinion that ruins the car's look.

Im actually from Texas too..Houston to be exact. The limit is 25% on certain windows (windshield, front windows) and the rest is the driver's choice.

I'm thinking about changing out my trim as well to carbon fiber. Do you know if its available?

it's available out there if you search hard enough but it will cost you upwards of $1000 for all the pieces. Im getting burl walnut and I want to switch it out to the black trim from the sedan models.

I've decided to run plateless up front, so we'll see how long that lasts. That being said, if you do have to get one, I use a Rho plate and I don't mind the offset look. I like it and it's something different, plus there's no holes to drill.

In Texas it's required you have a front license plate, but most luxury cars (in Houston) don't have one. It's one of those offenses where cops will add on on top of your primary ticket such as speeding. But most judges will take the offense off if you show them a picture of your car with your new front license plate on it.

I'm in MD with WA plates and both states require it, too. I was convinced by a buddy to go without so I'm living on the edge, haha. That being said, I've seen others do it, too and I think it's a pretty stupid thing to get pulled over for though. Still, it's a risk I take.

I just moved from MD a few months ago. There is a bill that allows you to not run a front plate if your cars bumper did not come with an attachment from the factory. The law does NOT require you to modify your bumper to accommodate a front tag. House Bill 577.
