Talking Hello :)

Hey everyone! Just found out about the forums and decided to join! I'm new here and to the car scene! I own a 03' C230K and am loving the car! I've done a few simple visual mods to the car if you guys can see the pictures!
- Window Visors
- Rear roof spoiler
- Plastidip stock rims (I got the car with bad curb-rash and have no money yet for new shoes!)
- HID's
- and a Euro plate

I hope to keep everyone updated with my car and I'm drooling over everyone else's!!

You should look into some leds from aznoptic for your parking lights and maybe blacking out your side marker.

Welcome! Nice ride!

About Euro plates: many years ago I knew a guy in Louisiana who had international plates on his Porsche Turbo. At some point, the police were not amused and asked him to replace it with Louisiana plates. Don't know if he actually did, though. Good luck!

@phister I was planning on changing my park lights to led once I got some HID for my fog lights! And I was thinking about blacking out my side markers as well :P glad we have the same taste!

@ncmudbug thanks!!
But I've had my plate on for months here in Cali, and I've had multiple "encounters" with the police. They've driven in the opposite direction, walked past it, and so far everyone of them have ignored it! So I'm in the clear so far but I'm still waiting for that one **** officer to pull me over :P thanks for your words though!

just make sure you get leds and hids that have the error cancellors. www.aznoptics.com is a sponsor here that sells all the bulbs and hid for our cars without throwing the errors

Funny you mentioned this about Euro plates. I see this same lady w/ a C280 all the time in my area w/ Euro plates. Looks pretty nice on her ride. Was considering but I had the same concerns as you. Still debating
