The first mods i would do would def be flat hood emblem, clear corners, tints, and AMG C55 spoiler. I wouldnt bother with rims if you know that you are going to scratch them up. Try to get your tints done with mole skin and make sure you dont clean them with any glass cleaner that has ammonia in it for example windex. G Luck

Haha, but they are cute! Little circular lights? Definitely classified as "cute" in my book. Even the name "puddle" is cute. Cute cute cute cute.

So I should never post my picture? Gosh, you guys act like you've never seen a girl before! Maybe if you spent less time on your cars, you could go meet some! kidding. I also hate little dogs, love big ones like my golden retriever.

Second, you know those black grills, do you buy those seperately already painted or do you take yours and they paint it for you?

I've also heard about it, but I've never had a problem with it. I think you are better off with no sidemarker on the Euro trim instead of the clear corner cover or smoked cover. The ladder two might get you pulled over more than the euro trim.

you take yours to get painted by the bodyshop. just painting them is like $80-100. If you want them to do a great job meaning taking off the chrome so that it won't be as easy to chip it may cost you up to $250-300 cuz of labor.

Make your own post, newbie! ...jk

Thank you all for your suggestions! I will definitely be looking into an in-dash navi system. But since I already have a portable one, is it really all that necessary? I will definitely be tinting the windows as soon as I get around to it. Then maybe I'll get bi-xenons and those cute puddle lights. Do they come in different colors? Maybe get them to flash? Then it could be a disco party under my car! I'm definitely kidding, I'd want simple white ones if any at all. That's all I'm interested in for now, I think. How much do you think each thing would cost? The tinting would be free for me so nevermind that.

Honestly, if you already have one, stick with it. The only Nav system I would get would be the factory one. Getting an aftermarket nav system will mean you won't be able to use your steering wheel buttons anymore. Which would suck, cuz they're handy.

Brabus makes a good kit. You might want to look into those. I think we have a few other members here that already have them installed, so you can see what they look like already on the car.

unless ur looking into playing DVD/music videos/etc the portable is as good as the in-dash NAV. Pioneer in-dash with Nav starts around $2000 at least depends on if you want flip-out screen or double-din screen. Bi-xenon is $1300 pair. puddle lights are around $400 depends on where you get'em. The Brabus one only comes in white LED, but you can get non-brand LED bulbs from ebay in different color.

tint for free??? now i'm angry...lol
