I hate to be a negative nancy. The fab design parts are pretty much non existant. There were a few wings imported but other than that its mostly gone. Same thing with almost all parts for the coupe's. Thats why you have so much trouble finding them and if you do , they are at ridiculas prices. Best bang for your buck is the brabus front lip. It looks clean and you can actually buy one online with minimal searching. If your going to mod you c230 you may just want to wait on the lips and buy a pulley or a exhaust or 18 inch rims for that matter. Not trying to be negative, but you talking about parts that are hard as heck to come by.
anyway yes im going for the 18" Stern wheels (all black, with chrome lip) and the lorinser rear spoiler... The pulley i hear its useless.. i mean can we really c the difference in that 10 hp boost ?

Heres my coupe, its a older pic before some stuff I did. Brabus front clip looks clean you should go with whats available before even those are all gone.

I can be so sure because if it was available it would already be on my coupe. Or advans or ChristianJans. This stuff is hard to come by. BTw the pulley with a chip adds almost 35-40 hp. For under $1000

Ok powerchipgroup.com and aspracing.com Pulley for M111 is $650 with core return it comes to $350. The Chip that aknowledges the pulley is $400. So theres $750 for about 30-35 hp. Add your shipping and your @ about 900. Pulley and chip together and you will be womping on other c-coupes. Add a remus exhaust for $700 and your now @ a 40 hp gain. So there you have it. For $1600 you can sqeeze 40 hp out of the ocupe. My tails are the 02 tails and I tinted the red parts twice and then sprayed 3 coats of clear. They are black to the eye but still red when your up close. Here is a pic. If I were you I would get the 05 tail lights , Im going to try and grab a pair of those soon. After I re-spray the car.

Don't get me wrong; I've done all of them, and think they're definitely worth it, but think the additional hp #s are a little high.
OP - I had my tails done by smokedtaillamps.com and they turned out great. As JK said, several people have done it themselves with good results if you trust yourself. I did my indicator lights on my crx with Testors model paint (for tinted window effect on models) and clear, and the results were pretty good. I just didn't trust myself with the larger surface of the ccoupe's tails.

which lip?
Wow dude...Just depends on what u want from the bad boy. That 'Fab' is truly unique. U probably wont ever run into anyone else sportin it. That Brabus is a nice clean look. Prefer that one,but this one should be up to u, Hell. 'Fab' is a bit much IMHO

i find it hard to beileve that its possible to get those 40hp, especially that the difference between an AMG & a standart model is about 50hp... so i guess AMG wouldnt bother themselves to change the engine if its possible to gain that much just by changing chips, pulleys and exhausts...
and tommy i cheked the website u gave me, its not working, i googled it and no results !! so are u sure ?
and if i **** up is there anyway to remove that tint ?

Oops - smokedlamps.com -- sorry!!
If you want the 05 lamps, best bet is to go through Steve (if you've searched on here for stuff, he's usually brought up). He's at www.mbenznl.com - yes, he's in Europe, but he can get everything.
If you tint your tails, I'd assume it's a no looking back kind of thing. I do know that people have gotten stick-on tint at stickercity.com for their cars. Though I'm not sure of the quality of going that route, but it's at least reversible.

Dude such a fool, I got mine done for $50 here. Any painthsop can do it in 20 mins for less than $100 bucks. You seriously need to go finda local place.
