C300 noob

Just brought home a 2008 C300 sport yesterday. Picked it up with 35,xxx on the clock and love everything about it so far!
You've all seen a stock car- but I'm not gonna start off on the wrong foot, pics are great no matter what


I live 5 minutes from the beach (hence the name SEA300) and look forward to learning more about this car.
It'll be my daily driver. For horsepower and racing I have a twin turbo ford diesel... roughly 700rwhp on fuel and just about 1000rwhp on two stages of spray. So this car won't be seeing any mods in the power department.
Said truck was just in the august and september issue of Diesel Power magazine for the Diesel Power challenge. Couldn't let go of it after all the time and effort that's been put into it.


The C300 makes a great compliment to the truck for sure!

Main question- anything to do with the car being as it's new to me? HIDs might come, possibly the carbon fiber splitter (any vendors have a good price on that?), thinking of a grille (would love all black with chrome star, any direction towards that is appreciated!), and wheels are a must by the end of the year. Any other suggestions?

Looking forward to many great posts and learning all I can! seems like I've come to the right place!

Just be careful not to do anything that can't be reversed when it comes time to sell because modified cars sell to only a narrow market segment. The ordinary MB buyer won't touch them.

Ever since I did a full tint job on my first car I'll never own a vehicle without all the windows done. Thanks!

This car will only have visual mods done to it. I'm a subtle modifier in the visual department, my goal is to create something that looks like it should've come from the factory that way!
thanks for the heads up!
