So I snuck up to the dealer tonight to get some pics after they did my spring install..I'm having them do a whole bunch of stuff before I pick it up.

Here is what I ordered...
C350 Obsidian Black
Black MB tex with Black maple
P1 Package
P2 Package
Multimedia Package
Dynamic Handling Package aka Advanced Agility Package
Panoramic Roof
Harmon Kardon Logic 7
Keyless Go
Illuminated Door Sills
Rear View Camera

Here is what the dealer is installing....
H&R SuperSport Springs (pictured)
20% Tint
Clear Bra
Chrome turn signals
Extra bright reverse lights
LED license plate lights
Smoked sidemarkers
Chromed sidemarker bulbs
LED eyelids
Xzilon protection interior/exterior (Still deciding)

Here are pics with the supersports..perfect drop in my opinion.







Anyone know what might be up with my front passenger side tire?

Congrats! C350 is good car! 2 bad mine didn't come with dynamic package because of the 4matic...
How much did the dealer charge you for extra upgrades?

Sportstick

Congratulations! You'll get less sleep each night until delivery day arrives! Can you please give us more info on the extra bright backup lights? What bulb? Any other changes needed?

mr inkredibul

$275 for 3M FX high Performance Tint
$375 for spring install
$700 for Clear bra
$700 for complete xzilon coating
Everything else is free but of course I bought all of the parts

The bulbs for the reverse lights are chrome covered bulbs I found on autoillumination.com I think. I'll have to check but I got them because I hate yellowish looking back up lights. These are supposed to be a "xenon" white color. I had LED reverse lights on my Infiniti and loved the look. Made the car seem a lil classier. I'll try to get picks when they actually hand me some keys.

Looks good. Makes me wanna lower my car as well. Tell me how it rides after you picked them up. Hope you don't mind me asking but how much those springs cost you?

mr inkredibul

The springs cost about $285 including shipping off of eBay. I can use sport mode for the first 1000 miles but I will let you know how it rides.

So it's springs only, no coilover combo? Any idea on the long term effect on the stock shocks using the supersports? I ask because I would like to drop my 2010 350 4M as well, but full suspension set up is a bit pricey. The set up looks good in your pix so if I can just put in the supersports for < 500, it would be a good option.

mr inkredibul

Springs only......I can't use coilovers since I have the continuously variable suspension. There shouldn't be any short term damage since the springs were designed to be used with the oem shocks. Long term yes they should last shorter but as safety factors are built into everything, the shocks will last just as long as they are stated to last. By the way I'm not sure what springs are made for the 4matics but I know the 4matics already sit like a centimeter lower than the Rwd sport models.

Niti24

what kind of eyelid LED's are you using?

mr inkredibul

KaizenMotor 4-SMD T10 Wedge LEDs from eBay. They are supposed to be error-free.

Niti24

cool, put up a pic when you get your car please so I can see what they look like. I am running on ijdmtoy's led's but they a bit too blue for my taste.

Royce118

Thanks! Mind giving me the link to your vendor? Currently located in Melbourne and I'm not too sure where I can actually get them here.

mr inkredibul

PM sent

Royce118

Thanks.. I'm gonna check those out soon =)

mr inkredibul

I went for another sneak peak today. Looks like they tinted it, but I couldn't tell if the clear bra was on. Looks like I have to wait till Thursday but I hope its ready tomorrow.

Congrats on ur new vehicle and let me know if your gonna end up selling ur wheels and how much ur going to be asking for?

I'm confused, you have two 2010 c-classes? You just posted pictures up for a 2010 white c-class with lamin-X didn't you?

+1 on wanting to see the brighter reverse lights!

Edit: Nevermind, I realized you just posted after that guy... Haha, sorry. I hope your car comes soon!

On the topic of the Xzilon coating, from what I have read online (not MB-World) it doesn't really do anything as it doesn't bond to the paint or anyhting, it is simply just a hard wax that gets washed off after a while... However, at my dealership it supposedly covers against any scratches or dings, and if they occur, they will be fixed free of charge. I think the $800 is worth it for just that alone.

mr inkredibul

Will Do

My coating protects interior against everything including rips tears and scratches but doesn't protect the outside against dings or scratches tho.

And I will post pics of all lights when I do actually get this thing.

mr inkredibul

So it turns out the dealer was going to charge for the light bulb installs so I obviously said nevermind and did them myself after I picked the car up.

With all the changes..the car looks truly amazing. Here is my review...it's to late to get pics cuz its dark and the color of the led's wasn't showing up properly with my blackberry camera.

Tint: I got 20% 3M FX-High Peformance and it looks great. Seeing outside of my rearview mirrors is kinda difficult than what I was used too. I almost hit a bike because I could not see him in the mirror at night in a fairly lit environment. Kinda wishing I had went with 25% though I dont even think it was an option.

SuperSports LOVE EM. When they settle they will really look good. I was really afraid that the drop would be too aggressive and give me a harsh ride. I don't have a comparison except to my G35 coupe and the ride is still VERY comfortable compared to my very mildly dropped G35. I haven't used the sport button because I can't until I hit 1000 miles but right now going over train tracks is hardly noticeable (again this is compared to my G35. I have never driven a luxury W204)

KaizenMotor 4-SMD T10 Wedge LEDs from eBay: I used these for the eyelids. Each bulb has 4 diodes per bulb. Indeed they are error free and they due have a slightly blue hue to them that I actually like. So they are not as white as the stock xenons. They were kind of a b*tch to install but they are looking good.

Ebay Smoked Sidemarkers: With the stealth bulbs these are great. They don't however seem to stick as close to the bumper as the stock ones but they are very good.

Stealth bulbs from bulbwizard.com: They are very very close to the color of the Mirror turn signals. Make the headlights and front of the car look so different..but in a very good way.

Reverse lights from autoillumination.com: The lights I bought were 1156 chromed superwhite lights for the Reverse lights. The are not brighter by any means. They are harder to see in the daytime as the light is white (think silverstar type) but at night they make the car look more classy. I had LEDs on my Infiniti and they were the same..hard to see during the day but looked oh so sexy at night. Just be careful during the day as people may not see you backing up.

White OBC License Plate Lights: Haven't done them yet because I didn't have a tork screw driver but I'll assess when I do. The leds have 2 diodes per bulb so they should give off the super white look without being as bright as the eyelids.

[b]Carbon Fiber Grill:[b] I have 3M Di-Noc carbon film that I am taking to my old shop in Chicago on Friday to get done. I don't trust myself so I'll let them do it for like $40 or less. Will give my assessment after they finish tho.

Congrats and good luck on ur new ride I hope you enjoy it and I bet you can't wait until you hit that 1000 miles marking so you can rip it on the highway lol

mr inkredibul

For those of you with Keyless-Go, did you notice that the top of your door handles are chromed? IT's a very nice touch that I didn't notice on other 2010's. I will try to take pics later today. My dealer told me it's because I have keyless-go but who knows if that is actually the case.

Royce118

Congrats on your new ride. Mind posting pics on how your lights look like? Gosh after reading your review I'm thinking between sports and supersports for the springs again XD

Boris0126

So I was told by people from tire rack that the H&R Supersport won't fit the c300 sport 4-matic? Why is that?

_c350_

hey for the stealth bulbs from bulbwizard.com what bulb ID did you use?

how hard was it to reach the turn signal lights?
thanks
