your thoughts on possible mods..

Heya guys, so ive bene trying to plan out what I want to do to my litle C230 auto sedan.. and I think ive made a nice list, but I would like your oppnions on it and maybe suggestions

First off,
Stereo:
JL Audio Cleansweep CL441DSP
2 500/1 Class D Monoblock Subwoofer Amplifier:
2 10W7
1 10in 2 sub box.. or maybe 2 single 10'in sub boxes to go on the sides of the trunk

Body:
Debadge,
Brabus front lip
AMG rear spoiler lip
new rims.. but i cant decide what kind
I was thkning of purple underglow.. but I dont know.. what do you all think.. it would only be for showing, i wouldnt run it during the day or anything. ((i dont want it to have a ricer look, just a little more elegance and flair))

Suspension:
lower springs.. im undecided on thsi though since in wisconsin we get some prety heavy snow and i have to drive all year round.. i dont really wanna plow snow

Interior:
change out all the lights to a purple led
make the mercedes benz lettering when you open the door glow purple
black 20% window tint.. maybe darker.. but legally i am only supposed to have 35% =S

Performance:
New ECU
Kleeman Exhaust
New headers..
sprintbooster
I really dont know alo for performance on the car since its the last wants on my car

Also, if anyone has any prices or links for anything I hvae listed or for any suggestions, please lemmie know. I ave a bunch of links for most of it, but sometimes you miss stuff =)

Thanks much,
Tom

great choice on the audio

there is no brabus lip for theamg bumper, just a brabus front bumper

definitely lower it if you are changing rims. get coilovers so you can raise it in the winter

changing the interior lights to LED is the easiest and best mod ever.

20% tint is just right

changing the ECU wont get you any power, you need to retune the ECU

i guess you really like purple. you shoud wear this costume while driving:

J/K man.....

LOL it would be a dark dark purple. I was trying to decide between purple, gold, or silver. Blue is used WAY to ,uch and I like ot be origional. You dont think it would be to "ricey" to put led underglow on?

excites your girlfriend
4matic is 4 wheel drive. you most likely have a c230 kompressor and that does not have 4matic.

as for mods, good list but scratch off everything with "purple" in it, especially the underbody glow! definatly get the sprint booster, thats a cheap mod worth loads of fun. you might want to get an eisenmann exhaust instead of kleeman.

Yeah, the neon was an iffy subject.. i like how it looks for shows.. and i will show my car, but since I use it as well it just doesnt seem to wanna click. And yeah, i was looking at the eis ehxaust, i think i like i tbetter.

and yes, its just RWD. Oh well. Thats what I get for just trying to guess with terms :P
