Damn that tail is ugly! Looks like a chair where little children can be forced to sit while daddy goes 100mph on the freeway. 
I like the front though. Everything else I don't like.

I say if you like it go for it. While you're at it do you think you can get me a good deal on the headlight seperator thingy? I really like that piece.

Anything extreme to Benz owners means RICE....hehe
It's about doing cars in their own styling...
Just bceause it's a japanese company doesn't make it rice.
It's just not conservative like AMG...
I like it alot, probably the nicest C class I've seen. For example I think the C32 is too subtle for it's price. AMG is not played out, but it seems that Benz owners on this particular forum hate everything that will oppose to their "three star mind"
Funny how alot of people still have cloth seats to match their ALL superior German vehicles.. hehe
"I don't like leather seats in the summer... too cold in the winter" bleh
Also even funnier how people are accepting of blue light bulbs on their license plates and interiors, because it's not RICE

true...LOL but on the other hand AMG, Lorinser, Brabus, RennTech are established brands for MB worldwide so they have become norm. And as much as the C230coupe and rest of C class lower the age range the avg buyer of MB is still probably like 45+ so the fabulous kit would not fly with that crowd. BTW I love your rims and what color is that called? they are similar to mine (called anthracite according to the site) but then OZ F1 cups claim they're anthracite (much darker then mine/yours). Also love the "hidden" side marker look. Is that custom or Evosport ones? Thanks.

My rims were picked directly from a tirerack.com advertisement hehe. They AT Italia ALP wheels, I think they're just dark chrome (honestly they looked better in the magazine) but I mainly got them for the style, and ofcousre price. At around $270 per wheel in 18 inches. Why not.
The sidemarkers were custom. Having a black car makes it easier to get just a black bottle of spray can paint which cost me $6. The finish is not as shiny as the original paint, but If figured they're just cheap sidemarks, nothing wrong with painting them. I had my grille completely painted black by a body ****.. cost around $100 USD ($150 cad)

I just found your homepage, I am liking your wheels. Very very nice especially while the car is moving hehe. I like the thin 5 spoked design. ONe thing you might wanna consider is lowering your car.. it makes this baby benz so much more aggressive. If you have the money go for shocks as well (I am still to cheap to do that)... After changing springs the car is alot harder, but a bit too bouncy for my taste.
I am ready to buy a body kit now... Too bad FABULOUS doesn't have C coupe kits.
The C COUPE IMO should be easier for companies to mod. I still haven't found any bodykit aggressive enough yet (I don't mean FIGHTER STYLE) or anything weird like that But I think the Fabulous kit shown above shows what you can do to a german vehicle while still keeping it's "CLASSY" mood.
The Renntech Widebody kit is not widely available or else I would buy it. Being in Canada sucks.
