dude, c43's were not offered in all countries, like here is south africa.
so, they offered all models with an option to put on the c36 kit for 97 and below, and c43 kit for 98-2000 models.

mine is a c240.
nothing wrong with beatufying your ride
go for it

This is just one person's opinion, but I don't find the c43 kit to be that good looking compared to the other body kits out there. I would go with something else for looks and to avoid the "wanna-be" (sp?) factor. Look at the kits by Wald and others.
