CBWdevil's C240 Thread
Well I took benz_addict advice and decided to start my own thread. I'll update this as I go through my mods. So far I've done the flat hood badge, threw a set of old 17's I had laying around and tinted the windows. Here in the next couple of weeks I'll get it lowed and exhaust. 
I'm also loving the Pioneer AVIC D3. So that will more than likely be done soon too. I'd like to add a body kit but I'll probably go with the factory amg bumpers. Thanks for looking.
Wheels aren't 19's but they will do.

Until I get my CL style grille, this will do. I took the chrome trim off my grille, I painted(the painter at my work actually) the insert from the grille I bought from psiterror, then slapped 'em together. Nice little change.

I think this grill would look great on your car.

Oh you and Kev with your Eisenmann bashing. They sound great and don't have to cost an arm and a leg. I paid like $400 shipped for mine.
On topic, the cars looking great. Update the headlights and you'll be looking much better (I should take my own advice). Happy modding.

Before anyone else gets to it, Steve from MBenzNL usually sells them in the range of about $1200-1300 for both. That's brand new AFAIK. I'd say shoot him a message and see what he can do for you.

Sorry, I'm going to be a complete n00b here. Do the BiX plug right in to the stock harness? Or do you have to splice it in? Plus my dealer is being a total d*ck and said they wont be able to help me. So i'm going to take the following to them and show them it's possible....

I just got a quick question about the Pioneer D3. I went to my local stereo shop near my business today and WOW!!!!! They wanted nearly $2000 for the D3 unit and bluetooth installed. This sounds a lil high to me. I mean the components alone are roughly $1100, right? Does this sound a little outrageous?

Ok, I was sifting through all the old posts and found that performance products sells a carbon fiber dash trim kit. I like it alot but what do you guys think about the tan and carbon look? I know black interior w/ carbon looks good. I know its ultimately my decision but I would like some input. I also got a set of Bix which are installed. I'll post a pic. The dealer and MB tech were actually decent about making the setting change. No charge and come to find out the MB tech actually races a w203. Good dealer experience
