Llumar is a good brand of window tint, Huper Optik is called the best by some guys on benzworld (its a nano-ceramic film), and FormulaOne by Llumar is really good too. Good quality tints wont scratch that easily. Plus many shops warranty their work so if it every becomes an issue they'll replace it.

Just have felt installed in the window seals most tint shops are up to speed on this by now. Or you can DIY I think there is a thread on how to on the forums here somewhere.

Here is my new (to me) C240 sedan. No posing, just took this pic after I got it home. The grill will be getting changed out to a big star (not sure which one just yet), and next week I'm going to buy a White Star hood emblem. Pioneer AVIC, and wheels after that...

I'll have to see about that after I have 18" and everything else done. I live in the country, so ground clearance is pretty important! Plus this is my every day driver, comfort is just as important as looks for this car.

My BMW E30 is dropped 2.5 inches, and I never was unhappy with the comfort situation, but when a baseball size piece of concrete hit my oil pan and cracked it... well I was a lot less pleased. I've got a lot of other things I want done to my C, so we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

I love the peer pressure! And good point about the body tray, but I'm not going to even think about it until I have my HU replaced, nice wheels, and some other cosmetic things sorted.

THE C350
Yeah it is peer pressure I told myself i would never spend any money on my car besides maintenance. Lets see i now have bix, clear mirror lights, rentech shocks, Tein springs, oem command unit, xm radio. And soon to be new rims, rear spoiler, amg front bumper (might do total amg but don't know yet), exhaust is taunting me too lol. I was always so anti mod and so sure of my self now look what is was reduced to. 
OK NOW GO GET BIX NOW

I definitely want clear, but I don't know what BIX is yet, give me time! I have a member here that has already offered to sell me his clears, I'm probably going to take him up on that depending on what he wants for them. Exhaust is REALLY high on the list, but I need to make sure there aren't going to be any adverse affects from the exhaust I choose. So far I'm thinking SuperSprint, but Remus is definitely in the mix. Don't worry as soon as I start with the upgrades I'll start my own thread to share with everybody.

It's ok Nate, I my wife was sitting next to me last night just shaking her head as I was making grandiose plans for my Benz. I might wait until the temp plates are off before I put on the clear head lights. BTW, what is the difference between the clear and BIX headlights?

Congrats! I'm fan of marriage, but I will tell you that everything changes. Some for the better, some for the worse, and some of it changes to something you thought would be awful, but end up enjoying quite a lot. Marriage, I liked it so much I did it twice!
