I have a Picasa account and I use the "web albums" app on my iPhone to upload directly to the online album of my choice. I then get the code from Picasa for my photo so you can post it. Other than that try tinypic.com.

what are you thinking for a grille? i think the chrome actually goes well with the black unless you are looking at blacking out the car, which would look nice too. or you could do what giannidy did and leave the perimeter chrome, or what i am planning on doing is the opposite, paint the perimeter and center bar black and leave the slats chrome

Thanks guys. I like what Giannidy did with his grille, but would prefer to not paint over the stock grille in case I get offered a good deal from a buyer, gotta try to keep as many stock items as stock as possible.
I would love to get my hands on one of these (attached), looks like a standard 3-slat grille but I don't know where to find one or what it came off. It's from this thread (https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...-wheels-d.html) and I asked the dude about it but didn't get a reply back.
If nothing I'll probably think about using vinyl to do what Giannidy did and leave the perimiter chrome while blacking out the inner slats. That black tape joe was talking about in the other thread might do the trick as well, now that I think about it, plus its cheap and easy to remove.

I messed up doing my grille the first time but I was able to take off the coating and respray it again. The plasti-dip holds up too, it's been a couple weeks and there are no chips or anything.

Mine's not even painted man! Do what I did.. If you want the matte finish. I used a spray called Plasti-Dip, it's basically just a matte black rubber coating. It's the same stuff I used on my trunk emblem... if you don't like it or if you're gonna sell it, the coating peels right off if you spray some Goof-Off on it.

Yea man you could probably find it there, I got mine from Home Depot. If you ever do go for it, make sure you do a couple coasts, maybe 3-4 coats.. The more coats, the easier it is to remove. I can link you to a DIY if you want

DIY link would be nice. Gonna run out to the hardware store now, hopefully I can find some of that blackout tape along the way as well.

This is a DIY for the emblems, but it's the same concept for the grille. Make sure you do a couple coats, at least 3-4 coats including 1-2 light coats first. The more the coats the easier it is to remove if you don't want it there anymore. I did one light coat, waited 5 minutes, another light coat, waited 5 minutes, a heavy coat to cover the whole grille, waited 15 minutes, and another heavy coat and waited an hour for the whole thing to dry.
You're gonna have to spray the entire grille but you'll only need one can. Just spray the entire grille (make sure you get the sides too), wait for it to dry, then using a knife that won't scratch the chrome on your grille cut around the inner part of the grille so you can peel off the outer part (where mine is left chrome).
If you have any questions just PM me because we're getting off-topic here, this is supposed to be a picture thread lol.

Not gonna lie, that tint is a must for your car. I wouldnt suggest the 0% tint you photoshopped on there but its definitely sexy with it.

definitely get the amg bumpers and side skirts, looks awesome with them

what kind of rims are you thinking of? MB/AMG or some other brand?
for the headlights, get depo projectors, i got myself a set of black ones from ebay for just over $300, definitely worth it!
