My project due on Oct 24th.
I am tight on budget and i promised my self not to mess up with engine, so I am just doing the cosmetic project.
Just to let you guys know I have 2009 Artic White with AMG wheels(18), bi-xenon, yellow fog light tint. CF 3piece Trunk spoiler.
Here is the list.
1. Nexen N3000 staggerd tires.(My right front continental sidewall shredded on me)
2. AZN optic LED in eyelid and license plate.
3. white color mated side marker.
4. leds and polarg interior lights.
5. Flat led lights in trunk with resistant.
6. CF overlay trunk chrome piece, blacked out window trim, CF in pillar areas.
7. Mercedes star-less grille(matt black or possibly wraped in CF vinyl)
8. taking out yellow tint in fog and put Crystal Vision bulb to match.
This is going to be fun.
Comments are welcome.
Couple of things I am still not sure about.
1. for blacked out window trim, should i do matt black or gloss black? or even CF?
I was looking at M3 and they looked glossy. I am debating between matt or glossy.
2. Star-less grille. Should I overlay the CF vinyl? or just keep as matt black plastic?

Your car would really stand out at night with all the lighting upgrades
The grill with CF overlay would blend it nicely if your thinking of installing CF pillar overlays

2. In my opinion, that's a tricky one, because you're doing CF on the pillars and the trunk chrome bar. Probably matte if you don't plan on putting more CF (front lip and diffuser) on.
Can't wait to see the pictures!

Thanks all, I just picked up starless grilles from El monte,CA after driving 30 minutes.
It looks great but not putting on until 21st this month. Then,on 22 or23rd I will decide to keep plastic or cf overlay.
I will definately go with matt black on window trim as you guys recommended. It sound right matching with door seal.

All those mods sounds great and will make your car look better, only thing i must say is the crystal visions will not match your bi-xenons, sorry.. just get hid fogs and you cant go wrong

oh man, really, it will not match? how come? would crystal vision look more blueish?
If that is the case I guess I will live with it. HID is not an option for me as Stock Bi-xenon looks great( unlike halogen ones).
Thank you for the comments and suggestion, they are great keep them coming.
