New Comer

Hello Ladies and Gentelmen.
I am new to MB, and I just bought a 2007 C280 4matic and I love it.

I am here because I want to learn more about my car, and get some great tips on customization for it.
If you guys and girls have any suggestions of the first couple of things that I should do to it let me. I just got my windows tinted, so whats next?

I would buy some moleskin so your tint doesn't get all scratched up.

That and if you want to stick to cosmetic mods I would consider a sport body kit.

Ok, guys I want to first start with my head lights. What would be the best type of lights to get? Also do you guys think it would be a good idea to black out my tail lights with the vinyl strips?

You don't want to black out with vinyl, use either the spray tint or the film so the light still emits through.

Headlights friend if you want bixenon or not. Most go with the Depo or eagle eye brand off Ebay. I recommend getting them without the hid kit because it's over priced. By the lesser $200 ones and then buy an hid kit off here from one of our sponsors like DDR for like 45 and make sure you have the canbus/error free ones. If you want bix get OEM or do a retro fit with the Depo. E55 projectors are a straight swap on those and are pretty cheap. Or you can pay more and get some tl, s2000, fx-r, morimoto mini h1 bix projectors from the retrofit source.
