Well, the rear bumper was stock, but if you're talking about the lip, I got it from SuperShyGuy, the same person whom I got the front lip from.

hey ChristianJan,

Where did you get your clear headlights? Looking to get some for my coupe and just found out that all the headlights on ebay apparently work only on sedans.

BTW...your coupe looks terrific. Like the clean look...very classy!

Been a while since I've updated the list of mods on my car, only real big thing I got is this:



CF interior overlay and a Pioneer AVIC-X710BT. I love the damn thing. As for future mods, here's what's coming: new fogs, lip, and grille. I'll post teasers when they get closer to completion.

Hey thanks Frank. Yeah I hate how it looks straight out the bag, it just doesn't blend well, so this was a good opportunity to make the entire interior match.

Haven't bought a SD card yet. I really havent found a use for buying a SD card honestly, except for uploading splash pics or hacking. But hacking is kinda useless because there's nothing in which the hacks are better than the new firmware.

Thanks Terrrence, I'll let you know once I get a SD card and try it out. Wish I just had Adobe to do it myself, but too lazy. And hey, I don't mind if you thread jack, it'll up the pages on my thread, I don't have more than 5 haha.

Hey man, thank you for your appreciation and I'm honored that you felt that way to buy your own c230. Just remember that there are a lotta coupe owners on here that can help you with anything that you need to fix up the coupe bro.

Sup Charlie, long time bruh. Yeah man, you need to get a double din, one of the best mods for my car, I absolutely love it. As for anything else, you know about my lip deal, so it's safe to say that the car hasn't been what it used to be. But all that will change since the modding bug has bit yet again! I've got a new lip coming in again so I'm just waiting on that. I'll let you in on some stuff if you IM me.

Alright, so I bought a replica mattig grille, and someone did mention that even the authentic grill was pretty cheap, but is it cheap enough that the tab on the bottom portion would snap off?

Also, I wanted to know if I should attempt to paint it gloss black, or leave it matte black?
