If you really want criticism and these guys won't do it, I'll offer my services free of charge...

1. The wheels are ugly
2. Your SUV, I mean car, needs to be lowered
3. Your DVD player looks out of place with that flip up screen and covers your vents
4. Paint those ugly door handles the same color as your car
5. Tint your windows
6. Lose the orange sidemarkers and get clears or euro impact strips

That's all for now...thanks for letting me vent!

Damn, Blake, is it gonna be one of those days for you?...LOL...don't rip the newbies up too bad

Actually, no offense Usmc2k, but I'd have to agree with blake on1-4, and 6. #5 is subject for debate (especially because I don't intend on tinting my car - just cuz I like the stock blue tint that's engrazed into the windows). I wouldn't go so far to say the wheels are "ugly", but I wouldn't rock them (I don't like chrome wheels). Your car Definitely needs to be dumped. The DVD player looks out of place based on location. I don't know if you could relocate it another way, but I think that's why like the stock Comand systems (especially because you keep the steering wheel functionalities). The door handles should be relatively cheap to paint. The orange sidemarkers - I'd definitely have to say that I don't like them at all (first thing I changed on my car). Either have them color matched, go with clear or euro impact strips. You might want to look into how much it would be to have both the door handles and sidemarkers painted at the same time. A body shop may give you a better price.

Just my 2 cents. drex

Nice to see another Coupé in SoCal. WELCOME !

Search/check out my "A La Mode" thread, or any of Doug's (CitronC230K_03) DIY threads on the aesthetic mods that can be done to the Coupé.
- door handles / impact strips / body kits / spoilers / rims / tint / etc...

Good luck on that KLEEMANN chip & pulley. It can be done, but it's expensive. Search for KLEEMANN upgrade.

As for suspension, many C-Class owners are going with the recently developed TIEN. Do a search for TIEN Suspension.

and finally, don't be a stranger... make sure you make it out to the Orange County Oktoberfest MB/AMG Meet in Irvine, CA on October 15th.
Sign up on the "EVENTS & GATHERINGS" forum.

We will have a bunch of raffle item giveaways, photoshoot, food & drinks within walking distance, and a caravan/cruise. No sign up fees.

Citron, common man, we had this discussion before. I've got the "Euro" clear sidemarkers on my car. I just don't like amber lenses in front at all. I will probably change to Euro-Impacts later on, but there's something about having amber on lenses that bothers me.
