C-320 Mods????
Thanks Citron!!!
I have a 2001 C-320 that I want to mod a little.
Anyone know where I can get the rear deck lip spoiler (ala C-55 AMG), clear headlight lenses, clear side marker light lenses, and I was also interested in whether they make some kind of tint for the interior rear dome light.
Any help would be appreciated.

honestly dude, the best place to get parts for your MB are from Steve (MBenzNL). he has sold, everything from shift knobs, bi-xenons, COMAND, you name it. he is heading to southern cali for installs beginning of november. you can send him an email inquiring about the things you're interested in and get an estimated cost.
Wanda, his sister, will be taking orders for him.
no problem, and welcome to the board.

steve@mbenznl.com
i guess it would help to prvide you with an email
i have bought most of my OEM mods in my sig from him.
hard to beat him!
ill let you know, cuz you may get flammed on this but do a search for this info as well. lots of people have clear lenses, euro strips, upgraded headlights, etc. these are great cars to mod. just find what suits you.

dude dont forget parktronic and UHI. im with Noble, stay away from the clear lenses, they look cheap. get the euro strips, eliminates your amber light, look clean, is OEM and they come painted from the factory (if they still make your color).

well, honestly im basing my opinion on the coupe clear lenses. clear or amber, the lenses look cheap on a coupe. 
they fit nice on the sedan, im just not a clear lens kinda guy. :p

parktronic strips with sensors for park distance control. 6 sensors up front (3 on each side) 4 in the rear. front display and rear display and a bunch of other parts and a crap load of install time.
euro strips are like this:
Diamond, l meant the clear "side-marker" lenses. that why i suggested euro strips. you cant put euro stips over your headlights. im not hating on anyones headlights dude. I have facotry BIX! mine kick @$$.

Don't forget the power, a pair of K&N air filters, as set of pulleys from Evosport and you might gain 10-15 HP? Throw in better mufflers, either AMG or Renntech.
Also a set of C32 AMG front brake rotors and calipers to stop on a dime.

Welcome Citron is a great source of information. But keep in mind that some of the forum members have been bit by the mod bug 
There are only a few cures for this disease that robs your bank account to feed this habit......Cures.... Baby on the way, loss of income, accident, new wife or woman in your life, just to name a few... So keep this in mind. And Saprissa who has an advanced case of the disease, now sleeps on the couch at his house
But his car is awsome

Saprissa, hasnt an advanced case of the disease, he's our prodigy who has grown up and now surpassed our every expectation, faster than i could have imagined. i remember when i first met him in June, just a little tyke, with a C320, chrome headlamp rings (dont count as a mod), audio30, stock pretty much everything (it was so bad i thought he had cloth interior), except his AMG rims, AMG spoiler and lorinser roof wing and clear side markers.
<wiping tear from eye> now looks at him, my boy has grown! OEM mods, no more chrome headlight rings and clear side markers. they grow up so fast Drew, so fast! these are precious moments.
now im learning from him. AMG bumpers and AMG Window console trim, and AMG rear spoiler for lil VTAMN C.
not going all out but that body kit makes a difference dude. just when i thought there was light at the end of my modding tunnnel, im once again lost searching for a way out, that coveted last mod!
Drew installs a flat hood badge 5 min. before our last meet, and left his baby smart replica car seat at home, and you'd think he caught more then a mod bug, he got SARS, Mad Cow, and Ebola too!
just giving you a hard time Drew.

Good man, fellow crow, mod role model That is Saprissa......As for Noobs, they don't paying attention to me most of the time in terms of how to buy a car.!, I give them great advice and they only understand part of it, go buy a car and post their deal that most of the time sucks. I wish I had money to just give a dealer
One guy was so happy that I told him how to get $1200 under invoice instead of the $500 he was going to take, that he was not interested in the fact that the current price was $1800 under invoice since he would get free car washes at this stealership if he bought there
