Posted last week and got great responses. I was expecting to wait until next week sometime but..............here it is new C350 White with pano and P2 package, ipod.

Got it last Thursday and took the tails, side mirrors, and front markers off that night, sent them to Jons Tinted Tails. Check out some pics.

Will plan the tint for next week.

We almost have the same exact car (aside from your wheels, I didnt get those )

Took delivery last week.

Cant wait to see your tails/etc.

I ordered them a little different this time. Whats your opinion, just based on thinking how this will look? Jon goes on this scale:

Extra Light
Light
Light-Medium
Medium
Medium-dark
Dark

I did
light-medium on the tails
medium on the side mirrors
medium-dark on the markers

PhaseNine

That should look good,
I wouldnt go too dark, it would remind me of those blackout plastic covers that were all the rage in the late 90's ( horrible looking ) and if you did too light its like " Whats the point?"

I think you made the right choice.

cant wait to see it when your done.

Sounds like it will look great. I think you are the first to tint the mirrors. Pleas post pics when it is done.

Congrats, I just joined the 204 club myself.

Picked up a C350 last Friday, steel gray, no extras. Got about 300 miles on it already.

Car registered 27.4 mpg on my 50 mile drive to work this morning.

Good Lord! Since I decided to get the C350 I have been hammering the CLK a little harder, normal mpg is 18 or so. I got it down to 10.6 at its lowest over the weekend last week. I drive some 55 or so miles to work so seeing a jump in mileage like that will be nice.

I will certainly post when they get back.

nice, you and i have the exact same car.

post pics of the tinting of the parts when they come in. damn, you don't waste any time do you? i'm enjoying my stock car for a few weeks but i did already order my cf spoiler but havent gotten it yet.

Wow 27.4 mpg ??? If im on the highway id still be lucky to get above 25mpg Congratulations on the new ride

On the return trip home there was a lot of LA traffic and it dropped to 25.2

Still better than our 2004 C-240

R U Kidding? I have about 1400 miles on it and it's AVG'd about 18mpg. I always blast the A/C but does that affect MPG THAT MUCH?

tpick23

27.x on the way home from a 50 mile trip is not the same as 18 avg over 1400 miles. It seems like it would be tough to get 27 out of such a short trip. Maybe could get that if traveling on interstate and fill the tank then run it out solely on the interstate at 70mph or so.

Thats the ONLY way I got the 63 above 21mpg. BTW the avg on the 63 over 23,000 miles is about 18 or so. Same as a C350??? Hopefully not

I should be getting the lights back today and plan on putting them back in. Might have some pics by Thursday for you all.

I haven't yet seen any side mirrors smoked so stay tuned to see how they look....

my 300 gets 30mpg on long trips... doing 60to 75 mostly with the A/C on but not blasting....just comfortable.

orie

I have the exact same car

My GOD!!! I envy you for that WHITE + PANORAMIC... I wish I can custom order my Benz here in Indonesia. They could but I have to wait like 6 months, so I say NO THANK YOU!..... Anyway Nice car, cant wait to see the tinted light.

Spec_Davis

I got the lights back but am having technical difficulties with the camera and site.
