Is @ Home
Its "rice" only if you think it is. Would it look good, IMO not unless you have other black accents.

Sorry, I really need to fix my information on this.

I live in NH, we are only allowed to tint the rear passenger windows, and rear windshield...really no purpose.

I want to debadge it, but at times I feel as if the C240 does the car justice (?) And painting it black might look a little nicer, does anyone have any pics?

Debadge on a white car looks great in my opinion.
