Xeon

i am gonna order these tailights from europe........

session

i don't like the black on the bottom of the rear fender... otherwise, very nice car.

i MUST get those wheels.

whats so different about those lights?

JeT

That's the AMG bumper kit...looks better on darker colours.

Vince

that's what i'm wondering too? I can't tell the difference.

Xeon

i dunno

i feel that the upper part of the light is clearer....

Vince

i think that's just a reflection.

There's no difference between the stock taillights and the ones in the picture.

zhaoyi

AMG kit look good
AMG exhaust look good
AMG 17" double spoke wheel look good, but too small

JeT

I think the red part is darker or slighlty smoked. The clear part looks the same. The exhaust looks like a Carlsson...not AMG but could be wrong.

Come on folks.. adjust your monitor brightness! The AMG shown in the pic has Solid Red bottom and a white top. Our stocks are Red then pink then white.

I can't stand that pink in there - the only reason they stuck is with it was because of the (non US?) requirement for orange rear blinkers.

peet

I humbly stand self-corrected

I opened up the JPG in photoshop and zoomed in adjusted brightness etc.. those are definately same as ours.
DAMN DAMN

I want the pink gone!

Vince

that's why i smoked my tail lights. I couldn't drive around with pink tail lights.

PoonerElRay

Vince, u did an awesome job with your taillights. Any problems so far with washing or with heat from the sun?

Xeon

what do you guys think if i ONLY smoked the top part of my lights? and leave the red as it is...or REDDED ( i dunno if there is such a word...but u guys shld get wat i mean ) the bottom part

DtS

Well, why not? Give it a try, and if it don't look good, smoke the rest of the lights as well.

I beleive this is the first pic I've seen of the new C30 AMG coupe.

Looks good. Too bad we'll never see it in the US.

Cheers, BT

Which is exactly why I ordered them in 18" Too see pics take a look at the new CLK55, S55, CL55, or E55, they all come stock w/ 18" double spokes.

tonyventura

can you give me the address to the shop/company you were going to buy the smoked tail lights from???? or if anyone knows where i can buy new sets of smoked tail lights cause i dont really want to spray then

Xeon

you cant buy smoked tailights...you can only get ppl to do it for you.

RB tech from downtown LA did it for me...

From the looks of your siggy, you already have smoked your lights. Let's see, we'll clear-out the front lights, and smoke the rears... Where's the continuity in that? Really, you folks sometimes spend lots of imagination, time and money to make changes that only you can tell are there.

I apologise in advance if I sound harsh, because I honestly don't mean to be. But only you would know if the blinker lights in your mirrors were amber or clear white. The average car nut wouldn't have a clue. And only a fellow C-coupe owner would know if the upper third of your taillights were smoked, or clear, or "pink." Or, make that just a MAYBE. Just re-read this thread for all the indecisiveness in the comments. It almost sounds like you guys are trying to "wishful think" those taillights in the picture into clears...

I have white front bumper side markers on my car, but I have to confess, not a soul recognizes the difference from stock unless I point them out. I enjoy my changes to my car, and I'm sure the rest of you do as well with your rides. It's just that in some cases, what is custom to you looks bone stock to others.

I'd like to paraphrase chip foose, a very famous hot rod builder about this problem

I'm only satisfied with myself when somebody look at my car and say, "what did you do to it, man? I can't see any difference." and after looking for 15 minutes, they'll start pointing out some mods that I made.

I think that's a very good phylosophy since if you want people to know that your mod is "there" than rice the car and everybody'll notice. I think a good mod should flow with the original design and enhance the look without dramatically changing it.
