SL Grill and 3 Piece Brabus type spoiler
And yes I got em all on Ebay, so I know some people are gonna not like it but I think some of you all will. So give me your opinion and lemme know. I have my spare AMG 18's on there because I blew out a 19 on my GT1's so please don't think I roll around on two different set of rims. And the lights are painted and smoked at Custom Coach Works in San Antonio TX they are not a film tint if you get confused looking at them.

I like the look of the grille in the last picture, but not so much in the others, that's just me though. I think it also has something to do with the chrome, it stands out a lot more since everything else is blacked out...maybe consider having the grille fins painted black too?
Spoiler looks great!

It looks great. I like the black side marker alot(its bold and somewhat stand out in good way), love the spoiler(make me think if I should have bought the white pieces instead of CF, althought I like mine)
What I mostly like about is your painted or tinted tail light.
How did you get it done? is it sprayed from inside?
I least like the grill. The grill kind of make whole car look smaller (width wise). Maybe it's just picture, but the original grill is better IMAO.
Overall it's great looking car and love what you did to your car!

The grill would look soooo much nicer if the star (in the middle) didn't have the slots filled in. (it has a plasticy look around the points of the star)

Looks good I like it all except the blacked out side markers I would have gotten clears and had the shop that did the headlight do the same for them.

I think it works well, very clean looking!
I agree that the black side markers stands out too much. Either get clear or painted ones.
One criticism on the SL-style grille is that the horizontal bar sits too low in the grill. It looks off center and not having it line up with the seam at the corner of the headlight looks a bit odd.
Good work!

car looks real nice... headlights are sick...
pure black side markers draw my attention as well... too much contrast in that small spot... like a mole :\
and yea the grille... im not a fan...
nice ride tho over all... lights look good front and back.

Car loks great man. I love the taillights and the spoiler. What EBay seller did you buy it off of?
As for the grill I'm really torn about it. I like the concept alot...but I think the grill opening on the C-Class is too big to just have a single bar. It works well on the SL because the SL's grill is about half the size. I will say that I like it much better on your car/color than others I've seen.

I was a lil torn between the grill and black painted sport grill but I'm OK with it since I have all 3 types the the Lux the Sport and now the SL. As for the side markers all my lights are blacked out so going for a clear didn't seem to go with the black and white theme and painting them white would make them non functional and as far as I know I'm the only one with smoked markers that are OEM. I only had the car for maybe a week back in 2007 and the only thing aftermarket parts available was rims and a spoiler nothing else. So I decided to keep almost everything OEM as best I could.

The painted on the spoiler was a little bit too light of a coat in some spots and they didn't include enough 3M tape to mount but the shop I go to does a great job. I don't think I'll ever lower it, I'm to scared of bottoming it out already

IMO the stock grill looks much better than that thing. Seriously you coulda had painted the stock grill with Matte or black maybe to match your taillights and side markers. The brabus spoiler looks nice though
