Hey everyone, so I came across some money that I set aside for the car, total amount is about $500, not enough to do anything serious, but I think enough for a few little toys =). I've got some ideas on what I want to do, but wanted to get input from other people, and see where everyone elses priorities were.

For me, I want to...
Swap out stock frosted headlights and get DDM Depo Black headlights
http://www.myhotmercedes.com/Mercede...adlights/17844
which would pretty much fill out the full 500 once i include installation and shipping costs , but i havent been able to find any reviews on those headlights, and the company won't respond to my e-mails, so i'm hesitant in doing it.

Other than that
HID kit
Clear Fog Lenses
Interior LED Kit? (not sure at all how much it would cost or where to find them, so any links or info would be appreciated)
Mercedes rear Sport Lip (a little expensive, 279. plus painting and shipping)

Basically, i really have no clue what I want to do next, so please give me some good ideas!
p.s., its a 2003 C320 4matic, I've swapped out the corner lenses to clear, painted the stock grille black, got a flat hood badge, and debadged the 4MATIC on the back, just so everyone knows what i'm workin with =)

Thanks!
John

hey those headlights are around 130$ on ebay exact same.
the manufacturer is EAGLE EYES... btw i just got a set and the chrome piece is known to fall out.. so you have to go through a bunch of crap to fix it! Check my own thread, I just fixed mine and installed them yesterday!

sorry i dont have time to read all your post, but ive seen this website before and its VERY VERY expensive & all parts could be found elsewhere.
wheel caps for 100$, LOL

you sure? in the picture for the headlights it says Depo Performance Lighting in the bottom left corner... so i assumed they were made by Depo? which are the better ones that the eagle eyes? can anyone clarify this?

TemjinX2

depo or eagle eye, the lighting on both suck.

better then blinding people with HIDs in a halogen housing scattering light up toward the aliens and down toward the people of middle earth though (I have 55W 6000K hids in my conv lens)

TemjinX2

lol your better off with the stock halogen then hids and depos. The way the projector spreads the light is pitiful.

ok wait please avoid turning this into a headlight discussion thread as theres already about 3 of those on the front page today as is. Unfortunately as for saving up and getting coilovers, i'm not too sure. I'm already on the Sport suspension, which i know isnt much but its something. If i did ever save up the money for coilovers, i would probably wind up buying something else with it, as thats sort of alot of money to drop into my car as a student lol, thats why i sort of capped off at 500, i dont have the stability to be dropping over 1000 into the suspension =), i'll settle with the stock sport suspension until I can get a set of wheels (again, out of reach for now), thenn we may start talking about dropping her

Eibach or H&R sways would fit in your budget, but I'm not sure that you want real mods vs. appearance ones.

03MBC320

^^ haha real mods vs appearance mods =) nice
i'm interested in both and whatever suits my budget, unfortunately I sort of assumed that i can't get any "Real" mods with only 500$ (purchased, shipped, and installed), and that this money would be better spent doing some of the cosmetics of the car, and other small things that i can install myself. I dont do much hard-cornering either, the roads down here are pretty straight and boring, but i'll deffinately look into it
