Welcome! I got my first Bimmer @ 16. I wish it was a Benz! Take a look around the forum. I am sure that you won't have to much of a budget for now, but save up some money. A stock Benz is still a beautiful thing, you can always mod later!

Oh, by the way, just don't do this to your car:

Cheapest mod you can do is a flat hood badge, most people like them over the hood ornament.

You could get that same style hood emblem from a sponsor here, a little cheaper and it'll get to your door a lot quicker. It's not included in the first post but I believe he does carry the black CF badge.

And yea, many of the members here get DEPO headlights. I don't know if thats a good price but they do come with the HIDs and ballasts.... but it might be cheaper separate.

I would honestly stay away from that badge for one, the quality would be trash after a bit of rain and washing it will begin to fade horribly, I got a flat badge from formymercedes.com Those headlights are fine, but the cutoff might not be too good. That same seller I think also sells the Bi-xenon version to that projector, check that out.

That's a trunk emblem. Just send JBSpeed a PM here on the forums that you want a hood emblem in that style and you should get it $25 shipped.

Nice how many miles?
I got my mercedes at 16 as well. It has served me very well over the years.
Can't wait to see some more pics to see what options you have.

You can put amg bumpers on. I guess you have a pre facelift one if you don't have them already.

$360 shipped I think... and you have to get it painted and if you're not a DIY guy you gotta pay for it to be installed.... it gets expensive. That's why I'm glad I have friends that can help me do all the work so it doesn't put a real dent in my wallet.
