Welcome aboard and this is what you can do,

1) Get rid of that stand hood badge and replace with the flat one.
2) LOWER that 4x4 please .

2. Tints, I cannot see a car without tints!
3. Lighting upgrade, tails, blinkers, new headlights (bi-xenons)
4. new grille
5. new bumper or lip
6. painted or smoked corners
7. Spoilers
8. new exhaust

you got a lot to work on

Welcome to the forum... I know how you feel. I'm in college as well, and have a minimal cash flow. The car does take top priority though (just don't tell the girlfriend that).

Welcome to the forum.

I could'nt have said it better. Stick with school and don't waste too much on the car. Projectors and smoking of corners will do the trick. You got the important part already (rims).

Maybe after you are done with school do can do what Advans suggested but for now focus on school.

I am partial to them (my first car was an original CLK), and I was a bit disappointed when they went back to the E-coupe. I was very surprised when I saw one of the new ones at the dealership (next to an SLR!!!). They look much much better than the E sedans. I am proud of Mercedes!
