2013 C300 Sport Black Darth V3.0
Darth my ride.

As you can see in my signiture this comes from a book by William Gibson. I like the term more than murdered. So here she is a few bits still missing, the CF diffuser is on order and I am sourcing the roof and lip spoilers (both CF). Does anyone know a source for black chrome exhaust tips?



























RBA dash kit, matches the stock dash perfectly.







All of the CF parts are real not vinyl, I found a site called dragonplate.com that sells CF sheets. Just make a template and cut it is not inexpensive and works best on flat or concave surfaces.

I think it woud look really nice if you tinted the red part of the tail-lights and got rid of that black trim.

sweet ride regardless!

I dig the "Darthed Out" grill w/ chrome star. I have been contemplating whether I was going to have that done and now I'm convinced That looks Awesome. Great Mod

very nicely done, but I agree, you should tint the tails. Maybe painted black the lips for full darth?

These sites have some beautiful CF and prices aren't that bad for real CF.

2013 C300 Sport Black Darth V3.0
Thanks everyone. I was going to debadge but when I took the C off using the floss method I found some nasty scratches that I couldn't polish out, none under the numbers very odd. I figure it happened at the factory and since the C would hide it the car was left that way. I painted them with flat black primer (two coats) then reaplying 3M double sided tape.

As far as the tail lights go I have on order tint for the clear section and will leave the red Vader does have some red lights on his chest piece besides I like red. I also have the Laminex fog light tint (yellow) on order and it should be here anyday now.

Thanks for the info Darth. did you overlay the chrome window trim or was that also painted? If painted, did you use the same black primer? Thanks. I can't stop looking at your ride, you have done a great job with it.
