upgraded fron a 96 acura TL 2.5 to a 2004 c230 kompressor need help in minor mods

2 weeks ago I purchased for the wife an 04 c230 kompressor and love the look of the car, but now im begining to get the modification bug. I want to start making my (her) car unique and adding some mods. Any help would be greatly appreciated in terms of whats out there. Im not going for performance just for the looks.

Thanks.

It'll probably be easier to work on than the 2.5L 5 cylinder that you had in the TL. I had that engine in my vigor and it was a pain.

bone stock E55 AMG
bi-xenons (if u don't have it yet), body kit, rims and suspension will take care of the look...

well thats good to hear i had the 93 vigor before i got the 96tl.. i actually liked that car a lot.. never really gave me headaches...

but now i compare the tl and the c230 although my tl looked nice for a while, it just looks a bit outdated now.

i was looking at the bixenons.. where can i find them.. and how much would they run? now ive read a lot about tripping the computer??? could this cause problems????

Search "bi-xenon" in the w203 forum. You'll see millions of references to Steve or Sunman. You'll find your way around. Just prepare to Read a lot.

If you're too lazy, sorry, can't help you. I only give long time veterans that le-way.

Car was trouble free and had 71k miles when i sold it last year. I've never seen one in such pristine condition. Enjoy you're new car. All of you're questions can be answered with a search. There's threads dedicated to most of you're questions. Hope that helps.
