Pics of my C230K : HID fogs, 12" subwoofer, Illuminated door sills, AMG rear spoiler

Finally, after having the car for 1.5 years, here are pictures of my mod.

1. 4350K HID Fog
It is so much brighter with the HID fogs on. My factory Bi-xenon and fogs look blue in these pics. Actually, 4350K still make the fogs look a bit more yellowish than the bi-xenons. I should have gotten 5000K for the fogs instead.

2. 12" Alpine Type R subwoofer & Precision Power PCX-4125
Both are added without modification to the factory Audio 20.
I am very happy with the bass now. However, my rear-view mirror vibrates too much. Almost impossible to see clearly when the bass hits hard.

3. Illuminated Door Sills

4. AMG rear spoiler

Looks good. I'm about to order the C55 spoiler. What do you hook the door sills up to?

The brand is ECON. It is Korean made and comes with 1 year warranty. I am not sure if you can get them here.
I am keeping the main bi's to original 4300K. The 4350K fog looks a bit more yellowish than the bi's. Some may not be able to tell it is HID except the fact that they are too bright, brighter than the bi's. If you want people to know you have HID fog, get at least 5000K.

Hey,

The door sills look really good, are those OEM or are they from Formymercedes.com? How much and long did they take to install? I'm about to get some from Formymercedes.com so just trying to find out how they look.

Otherwise, your car is looking great!

I bought it from a friend, cost me about $200. It took about 1.5 hour to install them.
