Thanks for all the replies guys. To answer some of your questions. About keeping them clean, you guys have no idea. Its a real pain in the butt. But when they are clean, I love the way it looks. I clean my car every Friday in time for the weekend. I polish the lips about once a month. The pictures were right after a wash and polishing the lips. Maybe my next upgrade WILL be nice big RED Brembos. It doesn't sound like a bad idea. About my suspension, I'm using H&R springs. I'm not to fond of the drop in the front so I might be looking into some coilovers real soon. About the amber side markers, I spoke to I forgot who about ordering some euro impact strips but the person never got back to me. I'm actually looking into reordering them again. I chose the color combination b/c I wanted something classy, sporty, and unique. My friend Alex had a white NSX on white HRE's and I loved it. When I decided to get the Mercedes, I knew that I wanted it white as well w/ white HRE's. I actually ordered the HRE's before I got the car. I knew some people wouldn't like them but honestly, I love the way it looks. I get compliments all the time here around town. Any other suggestions?

Out Of Control!!
About the strips: either Harris or MBenzNL will help you out - they're both members here.
Have you tried wax on the wheels? That cuts down on dust; Tirerack sells one company's. Also might want to try pads that dust less.

Thanks guys. I'm happy that all you guys had the time to give your opinions. There are a couple of things I still want to do to the car. I want to drop the front a little bit more. I'm considering cutting a coil in the front but what I really want to do is buy the coilovers for my car. I also want to put the C32 kit on it (or the 2005 sport kit). I am also looking into the impact strips for my car and maybe a trunk lip. The last thing I want to do to it is put a little system in it. Nothing big. I want to keep my stock radio on b/c I don't want to lose the look that I have. Again, thanks for all your replies. Any other suggestions will still be observed and taken into account. Thanks guys. Oh, and I can't forget the big RED Brembos.
