Props man! Have you thought of tinting your windows? something like 35% tint all around would look dope on your car!

It'd look better without the NY license plate I don't care what anyone says, chrome looks nice, but only when it's clean. Love the color, it's good to see something fresh.

Yeah i do feel that i have grown away from chrome the wheels where kind of a spur of the moment thing, but will rock them out alittle longer. I would like a lip, and probaly going to pick up some euro impacts. The color is bordeaux red, was somewhat disappointed when recieving the car but it shined up nice. Was thinking of going silver wheels with a color matched grill but might go black wheels and as some carbon fiber. I'm still thinking of what i will do, but this is my first car and i am experimenting. thanks for the reply's.

Yeah and about NY plates... idk wtf they were thinking.

Had the exhaust installed on the same day so it stills needs to be cleaned up a bit. Have the pre face life bumpers and the curves on them are kinda wierd.

The dual exhaust makes it look like a W220 S600 from the rear.

NY requires a plate on both the front & rear or face a ticket. You can't even put a cover of any kind on your plate in NY. Needless to say I run my Jeep & MB without the front plate. I'll take my chances... front plate looks like crap on the MB & my Jeep eats em' for breakfast.

The new NY plate is an abomination. While other states offer many colorful types and styles they made our new plate almost the same as the one we had 2 generations ago. Same colors just with a wider bar across the top and no more pictures on it. We had the Statue of Liberty, Niagara Falls, etc. on them, now nothing. I chose the option to keep my old plates since all mine are custom except for the C240, and they charge a fortune to get new ones (besides they would be that hideous yellow/blue).
I didn't go custom plates on Benz since they were just switching over and it would of meant yellow/blue plates on my black C240... eeewwww.

Looks great! What brand of HID kit do you have with the 6000k? The look really blue.
