Help me start the mods!!!

So I just purchased my Black 2010 Mercedes C350 and need some help with some mods and how hard they would be to install. Everyone that has pictures would be great! I am starting off with 35 tint all around, but I have mocha interior and dont think it will be dark :/. Later on I was gonna order a set of Roderick RW2 wheels. I also love LED lights, has anyone changed the led in in parking lights to a light blue? I want to change the LED license plate lights. I dont want to do any exhaust work as its a mercedes Anyone have any more ideas? I do like the rear diffuser with C63 tips that I may think about. Thank you everyone!

i would just drop it with really nice wheels. keep it clean. you dont want it looking ricy cause it takes away the classy looks of a mb. just my opinion.

For the lights you should talk to AZN optics, he's hooked up alot of the guys on here. and i would agree you need to drop it and get some wheels on it, then probably a front lip and you'll be mostly set on the outside. good luck!

Go for 15%. I was going to do 35% like yourself, but changed my mind the last minute to 15%. I have black on black and I think it looks great.

Tint- I have that planned for 35 percent all around
Rims- RW2 I had a seller tell me 19x8.5 19x9.5 rear 265/35/19 rear and 235/35/19 is this right I thought you couldnt do staggered for the 19's?
Carbon Fiber Diffuser- Now I see there are ones that you drill and the ones that go over the factory ones, which ones do most people have?
X pipe- I dont think I will mod the exhaust as it will ruin its mercedes
LED- Are the license plate leds easy to chance?
Lowering springs- I might wait on that
Spoiler- I have my oem one
Roof spoiler- Possibly

You can run staggered rims on 19's. Also don't go with 15% tint, way to dark. I had 20% and got pulled over so much i took off the front tints. 35% stay with it. Get the carbon fiber diffuser that replaces old one completely. Whoever told you exhaust ruin mercedes is crazy, look at amg lol. LED lights are easy, spoiler i ment front lip spoiler not the one on the trunk. roof spoiler is very clean. A good car to look at for many mods is AZN_C300. He has almost every mod under the sun. Search his name up and check him out!

they're so many ways you can mod your C you just have to write a list on what you want. I see you started that list already look at the Picture Thread above this Section you can view many C with different mods.

Zim, please post pics once you do the tint. I am in Vermont and we are not supposed to have any tint on the front either but I want to do the tint all around so just curious what it looks like on a black car. Thanks and btw congrats on your purchase.

would 255/30/19 be a safer bet in case it gets lowered later on?

Fack that tint all out...I wish i went darker with mine...wish it was straight limo haha Cold Ait intake is great too...adds some zoom, my cars feel smoother and adds a nice sound deep low sound to the engine if you dont want to touch the exhaust.

If you are going for a classy look 35% tint is the right way to go
