Newbie Begining to Mod
Below is a picture of my 2003 C320. I'm going to begin making modifications to it and would like to lean on the expertise of this group to point me in the right direction:
Kevblah has helped me come up with the following modifications:
- Clear Side Markers
- Chrome Grille
- Chrome Pins
- Wood and Leather Steering Wheel
- 18 x 8.5 AMG Wheels
- Tinting the windows to 35%
What else am I missing. I want to handle all of hte cosmetic stuff immediately and then start worrying about performance. The car is a daily driver also.
Any and all help is appreciated.

It's actually very easy to do yourself...there is a DIY in the stickies at the top of the forum, I used those instructions to do mine...basically, once you move the clip with a flathead, they slide right off...you'll see it when you read it...

Placed the order for the flat hood emblem last night from DFWDude. He had #160 up for sale so I paypaled him last night. Waiting to hear the confirm that I got it.
Also order the sidemarkers and blinker clear LEDs. Should have them in a week or so.
Next up will be the grille.

The wheels and suspension have to wait until after the honeymoon (getting married 7/14). The wknd we get back I'm going to hopefully be swapping out the LEDS, the grille, putting the flat hood emblem, and getting the windows tinted.
