I've seen one or two blacked out grilles on ebay before but its definitely a DIY. (sand, primer, paint, clear)
Like others have said, I suggest window tint and a set of bi-xenons.

extremely nice start! 
beautiful color, and the exhaust is nice!
just wondering though, did you take those tips and weld it on the magnaflow? cuz the my magnaflow's tip is too big to kinda fit on the bumper. let me know, i think i'm gonna have to bite on yours

Mu9enx -
Absolutely welded on new tips. I know the guys at the muffler shop pretty well due to my old car always adding on mods and we found these new tips...SilverLine which are beautiful! Really hit the look I was going for...I'm going to spilt the system and make it dual exhaust with quad tips down the line sometime. So YES....it is a Magnaflow muff with welded on SilverLine tips.
MJ50-
WHOS STEVE AND HOW DO I GET THESE BIXenons?!?!! oh...and thanks for the compliment
you've got a great looking ride yerself!
SANF-
The sound blew me away! I gave it two days with NO resonator and held on the special order for the Magnaflow muffler. The deleted resonator wasnt enough so I went for it. I was extremely skeptical at first not knowing what sound would be produced from a big European engine with a standard Magnaflow...didn't want anything too loud or obnoxious and wanted to keep the car luxious and have a clean feel at the same time. This system nailed it! I will do my best to get a audio/video clip up soon. But I wouldnt imagine anything better! I'm used to my friends M3's and Audi's but this.....10 out of 10 on sound I'd personally say!
SO......BLACKED OUT DIY GRILLE SEEMS LIKE THE WAY TO GO? I was checking out the different CL-style grilles but love the way-NLPAMG-looks ...HOW DID YOU DO YOURS?
And would it be okay to just swap out the springs and throw lowering spings in without doing the full susp. swap??? I was also told that I could lower my car by computer...hahah is this true?!!

I think the stock grille looks the cleanest on white, but black also looks good 
I'd say get some tint + rims/springs next
How much did you want for the 07 rims?

You can get a replica spoiler and grilles from http://www.formymercedes.com
As for suspension, I would suggest doing a coilover setup. That way you can dial the in the hight.

I would also reccomend that you get a CF lip for the front bumper.

nice car, welcome to the family! civic to a benz, nice jump.
i think a blackout grill would look great on your car!
and maybe these wheels but with black center and polished lip:
