I have a question,
I am in richmond BC, does anyone know where I can get my glass tinted to black?
and how much it would cost?
Btw, there are way too many C-Classes in Richmond

As for getting mods for my benz, I get it shipped to Pt. Roberts as well. Way cheaper on duty and taxes. You just need to register at tsbshipping.com and get your things shipped there. Once they receive it, they'll email you for pickup.

I got my cars tinted at that place right by yaohan center(on that small alley right beside T&T). They did a pretty good job, I forgot how much I paid, but the whole car except windshield should be around $200?

well, I am on a lease with this car, do you think they will throw a fit (or make me pay) if I tint the windows? Is that against the lease policy? I did buy the safe lease thing (which means I don't need to pa a single sent even if the car is scratched or what not) but I don't know if tinting the windows is part of it...

Just curious, did they install moleskins when tinting? How is the quality of tint? Thanks

there is this place beside boyz club where you can tint your car. It cost me around $330CDN to tint all the windows except the windshield. They might be more expensive but they have great customer service and great quality.

there are plenty of SS models kicking around now. AMG's (32 or 55) are rare and will always be. there are only a dozen 55's in all of the lower mainland and probably fewer C32. ONE big reason why i love this car.

the SS is pretty common now.
i have one and so does three of my friends.
but still, there seems to be lesser sport sedans than base C's
AMG models are definitely rare!

very true, C230 seems to be roaming everywhere...
C55 - once in a while
C32 - once in a blue moon
C320 - rarer now than before - maybe people got new cars
C240 - still kicking
C230 - too many
C280 - sorta rare, people go for the 323i/328i/328xi/330i depending, but they are more prominant than C class now

I like playing, "name that C class" in Richmond by just looking at the stock rims from the side.

really? it's getting harder... from what I recall the 2006 C230 and 2006 C280 had the same rims?
what pisses me off is that people with those cars can't drive half the time... peek inside and you see a mid age asian lady (I am asian so not really discriminating)
AMGs are easy to identify though =D

it's fun to identify cars, especially when they are debaged
lol those asian ladies (most likely c9's) bought the benz to keep them safe,
regardless of their driving skills
it's because there's so many C's out there, and especially in richmond
that's why i try to be a bit different from them,
i dont want to see any (evil)

tell me about it... but mine is different than there's even stock.. that advantgrade or whatever... I dont see anyone owning that besides.. well me... dunno why... but yea I am the onoly on ehtat got these advan... rims... pics will come later... you know it's 9:05 right now... and it's freezing, not gonna walk out to take pictures in the dark And you know what sucks, the C280 this year comes in 3 colors, silver, diamond black and pewter silver...
I want that royal blue color... but I chose diamond black - with a little blue tint...
Is it hard to keep a car clean here or what? how do you guys keep your car clean (yes washing is obvious... what else) I wax as well... but so does everyone else.. the car still looks like ^%$# after I come back from UBC...

do u have an 07 C280?
i have seen one in parker place, which was like last thursday
post some pics later and show them to us!
i still have 2 more things to install, i'll post mine up as well
i try to wash my car once a week
often, after making my car look nice and clean, it begins to rain -___-"
i guess that's the specialty of vancouver, rain rain rain
no matter where i go, my car will always be dirty in the end
and since it's white, it's so obvious!!
