I had my local audio shop do it for me. The difficulty of the install matters to whether or not you have the Bose upgraded sound system or not. If you dont, should be easy. If you do, it should still be fairly easy if you know what you're doing, but takes a lot of labor.

I got the Bose, so I think I will just get the Command 2.0 Get an ECU tune and a Sprint Booster you will not regret it, the car will feel much more responsive and alive-contact Jake and see if you can still get the $165 deal!!! https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w...els-165-a.html

The flickering parking lights from V-Leds dont work on most Mercedeses since they are LEDs without built in resistors. Return them and order a set from AZN , he sells built in resistor LED's for your car, works like a charm. Should be the same bulbs you used for your side markers. I went through the same thing
Either 5k or 8k

All my LEDs (except for License plate) are currently from AZN Optics.
Can't wait to get the AMG bumper from Gary. Need to replace those fogs asap!

Also bought some new shoes. Nothing too fancy, not too expensive. Just something I can afford and still look good.
Staggered 19x8.5/19x9.5, Offset 32/35, Center bore 66.6, polished lip 2.5"/3.0" with matte black finish. Not really familiar with tires so I don't really know what sizes to get. Any suggestions?

i have the nitto invos they are amazing to be honest ... my mother had them on her g37 and i can vouch for them to improve the handling on a car that had bad headlining with Bridgestones .. my car handled well to begin with but the tires make corners seem like meh
I would recommend them as of this point

235/35/19 is what I am running and for the rear I am running 265/30/19 and milkman fitted 275 so like an idiot I got mixed up and increased the front to 245 instead of the rear.
I rub on the inner fender liner bad (front) when I turn my wheel too much out. So I can only wonder if the 245 would fit.

yeah I forgot to throw the 30 series on there.
You can always throw the 245 in the rears just to go VIP and stretch them out lol
or maybe you can get a 3mm or 5mm spacer upfront

I think I'm gonna run what Karo is running.
235/35/19 & 265/30/19
But, I do need to find a set of lug nuts/bolts. Not sure what size to get. I am a super n00b when it comes to all things wheels.
Any help would be great

Bought some lug bolts from Craig up at RPM. Great guy, shipped em out to me the day I called. Also bought some tint film for my taillights and foglights from Don Nguyen, gonna do a light gunsmoke on the tails and a yellow film on the fogs.
Bumper is getting put on this weekend... finally!
And... got my wheels in today. Funny thing was the UPS guy has a 2005 C-class. He stayed for 20 minutes after he dropped off the packages and we talked cars and mods, until he realized that he was still working
Here's a little teaser
P.S. I'm thinking of selling the wheels I have on it right now. If you're interested shoot me a PM, and I'll send you pictures and details.
P.S.S. NBA Playoff time. Best time of the year. Go HEAT! *gets ready for haters*
