Newbie here....well sort of.

Well I finally bit the bullet and purchased a 2008 C350. As far as options go, it has the Multimedia Package, iPod Integration, and TeleAid.
Just picked it up a few hours ago and I am absolutely amazed. So smooth, yet it packs a huge punch when you step on it.
As a side note...I'm not too new to this forum. I own a 2007 GL450 as well.

So here are the very grainy pics taken from my cramped garage. I'll be sure to take some better ones in daylight. Ha.

Those are AMG 17", I believe. AMG 18"s are 5 spoke. Non-AMG 17" wheels are just ugly.

Thanks for all the positive feedback.

Haha as for the wheels...I do believe I can be declared the idiot as those wheels were not the option 18" AMGs.

Maybe I should stay over the in GL forum.

Moving on.

Those do seem like the 17" AMG wheels. They say AMG on them, no?

They are 17" AMG wheels that come with the C350. They, however, are not the optional 18" AMGs.

Thanks. Yep regular black...I like the "pure" look to it. Your C300 looks reallly nice.

As far as mods. Window tint (lame, I know), and then possibly smoking out tail lights. Huge list I have, right? Haha...I'm pretty satisfied with car as is, so who knows what else I'll do.
