Yea, when I called and asked if they could do this for me they originally told me $99.00!!!! But after I showed them the process they where like, wow thats easy. Back to the carbon fiber though. The way I look at it, if carbon fiber and tan looks good in a ferrari, how bad could it look in a mercedes Right? Haha, we'll see. I'll buy it and if I dont like i'll sell it on here

Updated headlights. Courtesy of my unfortunate pain in the *** accident.



I do have to say these are far superior to the halogens lights. Turns night into day gentlemen.

Frosties are approx. $400.00/headlight...OEM BiX are $1520/headlight....My discount through work is 40%...Bix are now $912 my cost. So the extra $$$$ I threw on my company account. Added $1024 to my "corporate expense account"

Update people, my car is currently being lowered. Against everyones advice I went with the cup kit. But, I do have a set of coilovers on standby in case I dont like it. Also, I dont know where to post this, but there is a guy on ebay selling a renntech carbon shift knob....only two people have bid on it. Price is at $51.00 now but i'm sure that will change during the last five minutes. I hope posting that ebay stuff doesn't get me into trouble....

Swap out his grill and body kits on your car and you'd be good to go.

Agreed, but there is a little difference. I would hate to cut a coil though, so that will definetely be a last resort. I'm trying to find a set of 19's that I like, maybe it will eat up some of that gap.

I see the rims find a new home in the near future.
It would look nice on your car.

whats up forum, been awhile. just a quick update. I put a set of C32 wheels on my ride. And I have a set of 2007 C230 rotors and calipers laying around wondering if they will fit and when I'll get the time to try and get them on. I know they are not C32 rotors and brakes, but it's all for aesthetics.
