I plan to do these things to my car:

Tint: 35% all around, 50% front, 20% roof

black out orange side markers: paint (A place quoted me $265 for this job. thoughts?)

C63 AMG styled grille

What do you guys think about:

black out chrome window trim/chrome bar: matte black vinyl wrap

Interior Lighting: 5000K LED

Car looks great.
$265 for the black out is ridiculous- Buy some 3M 1080 Scotchprint Vinyl in Gloss Black and wrap them. Will cost less than $20- do 2 layers and they will look great, but might still illuminate slightly at night to keep you DOT compliant.
Is your car Black or Magnetite Black Metallic?

Nice, the c350 has a so great motor ! Not fan of old school wood trim in a sport car i prefer piano black or aluminum trim, but it's just my taste.

Consider clear marker lights for $50 on Ebay. Put them on 2013 C250COUPE (white). Only took a few minutes--looks great.

Car looks great. I wouldnt wrap it...too much black... no contrast. Might as well spray it all black... if it were all black then what's the point? Change the interior all black too... just my opinion.

I wish the they had the black trim from sedan available on the coupe model. I don't like the aluminum trim because it will dent very easily.


so much negative feedback on the UT Longhorn. I'm thinking of moving it down centered with the license plate right by the taillight. But with everyone's feedback, I might just get rid of it all together.

Don't let peer pressure make you move the logo. If you like it on the car leave it on the car. No one on this forum put out $40K+ you paid for the car.

Don't know for aluminum style but the black piano in my car is also easily scratched and loves fingerprints but no more/ no less than wood clear coat i had in my previous mb, easily repaired by polishing.

Looks great! I wrapped my side markers i think its super expensive to paint them for $265. why don't you wrap them instead of painting them?

Let me know how much the C63 grill goes for i would love to do that to my car.

Update on a few things:

I installed AMG door pins:

IMO the original door pins need to go, but one should just buy a replica AMG door pins instead of dishing out $80 for these.

Illuminated door sills:

This add on makes the car amazing and even more luxury. It's expensive ($800 for just the sills?) but I got it 100% free when I dealt for the car.

On my must-do list I still have a tint job and to paint out the side markers.

I am still interested in getting a c63 grille and changing out the lights to white LEDs but i'm not in a rush for these mods.

Beautiful car. You will be happy with it for a long time.

I have the same model and replaced the plastic door pins during the first week of ownership. Small detail but a world of difference.

Enjoy

I blacked out my w212 side markers using plasti dip. Completely black, except for a little bit of orange showing through at night! And at 5 bucks a can, you cant beat it!

That's actually what Iv been doing and so far it looks great. I can always plasti dip them again if I needed to. It takes me around 30 minutes for both. Iv done them on both my w204s now.

new tint

Finally I had time (spring break) to get some tint done.

3M FX:

35% on the front windows
15% on the back windows
15% on the rear windshield

Give me some feedback. I think it looks great.
