What Mod to go for?

Dear All,

Too many mods to do, too little money.. Which do you think is the best mod?

1. Clear projector headlight+ clear AMG fog +W220 styled tail light+? - $929
2. Remus exhaust system - $900
3. New brabus bumper - $1100

Thanks!

Hm, I think I would go with option #1. If you had the chance to get BiX fogs AND tails for 929 - that's a steal. BiX makes a really big difference on the update of the car, especially the sedan.

well if you go remus exhaust u need other performance mods like an air filter or ecu upgrade. visually you're car is not lowered.

if you go brabus front bumper you need match it off with the rear and get some wheels. again visually your car is not lowered.

so far the best way to go is the headlights, fogs, and taillights. with the minor mods it will add to the look and still have the stock look.

it's all about what you're going for. i say add another option, which is suspension.

eventually you will be modding your car correct? For the starter I would go with the lights because sounds like you already have the AMG kit from what you said you want the clear AMG fogs.

I dont think any of these options are substantial. I favour suspension, rims and navigation kit. But I have no idea what you already have.

Dear All,

Thanks everyone for your valuable feedback. Seems that lighting is the way to go. My current mod is rather tame compared to the good people in this forum. Yes, I do have a AMG body kit installed.Other minor mods include exhaust tips, 17" OZ rims and a silver CL grille. Looks like I will be getting a new set of lights next! Cheers!
