Thanks!
Well, i haven't done it myself but i can give you some hints.
After you remove the original grill, you will have some some clips on the interior of the bumper. (those are the original mounts for the original grill)
My local paintshop cut them off, and sticked the mesh with silicone. (if you don't cut them off , will look crappy in the back of the mesh)
I think you can get a mesh like this from ebay, i got mine from a local shop with 10$.
It's a very simple mod with maximum visual effect. Go get it

Wow are you and everyone involved in that accident ok? That looks really bad what happened? Hope the insurance cuts you a fat check so you can get back into a C320 or even one better

Yea man. Dude didn't even stop or try to slam on his brakes. He was flying down the road and by the time I saw him it was too late.
That was the best and safest car I've ever seen though. Look how many airbags came out in so many different places. All I want is the same white benzo, maybe a newer class but thats it lol

Hi!
Looks silver here, probably the sunset
Btw guys, just a question, how do I get that beautiful blueish headlight color as a lot of new Mercedes/BMW's and other expensive cars have this days? Researched it a little but can't understand, tint, HIDs, Leds, etc?
Here's an example on Lambo at 0:49,

At 49 seconds in that video, those are LED daytime running lights. For HIDs that are factory (Xenon) usually the blue color is the design of the projectors. Mercedes' factory projector gives a nice blue look even with 4300k bulbs which output with a very slight yellow tinge.

almost done installing SML's 
I just need to wire them.
You guys try to get euro impact strips over there in the US, but over here we al want US impacts strips since I work at the dealer, it was quite easy to get them 
I have the parktronic funtion also, so I needed to drill the holes and glue the holders in there... job came out quite good :p

Someone please explain it to me in noob language on how I can turn my headlights into something like this.(What I'm really after is that beautiful light blue color)
Sorry again and thanks!

To get that blue you just need a simple HID kit. I used a 8000k and it is SUPER blue, I like it but its not nearly as bright as whiter HIDs like 5000k hids. If you want a blue look go for a 8000k and it will be plenty blue, they run a little under 100 on average and are pretty simple to install, if you need assistance on installing it PM me and I will give you more details apon that. Great looking coupe, love the wheels. It will look amazing with a drop, but either way its a dope coupe. Good luck!

Don't go for looks on light output go for functionality. I would not go more than 6k since it will diminish visibility from the drivers view. Yes it will look brighter to on coming traffic but the visibility of the driver lessens. 4300 is closest to natural light output which provides the best visibility. if you want a light blue tint just go 6k I wouldn't go past that.

Yeah, I had 8K HIDs in my old Trailblazer and I couldn't see in the rain. It wasn't too horrible otherwise, but I really didn't drive at night much anyway. I went with 5K in my new Trailblazer and I'm much happier with the output and it still has a little color to it.
