help finding exterior mods for c300

i'll be getting a 2011 C300 in about a month and I've already comprised a list of things I wanted to do to it. I've found prices for most of them already. If anyone can help me find cheaper I would appreciate it.

Luxury Sports Grille & C63 AMG Grille (will change them around when I get bored with one or the other) - between $150-$200 each

X-pipe - $80

C63 muffler (or should i do muffler delete?) - $??

C63 tips (replicas or oem) - $??

C63 diffuser (replica or oem) - $300-500?

AMG lip spoiler - $50

Carlsson sports front lip or C63 front end conversion (oem or replica) - $??

HRE 897's (or RS8 Concept 1's if anyone knows the quality of those) - $3800 used

Any help finding me better prices is appreciated. I really don't care as to whether they're oem or replica so long as quality stands. No fiberglass crap. My old lorinser lip kit on my C320 was fiberglass and I learned the hard way.

I've dealt with most of the sponsors on this forum and there all very good, great customer care and products. i also got my xpipe from autopartsdealer.com $81 shipped.

IMO if your going to spend $400 for the OEM MB diffuser, id go with a CF one from one on the sponsors

not too into the whole CF look. makes me feel like im sitting in a honda to be honest (lotta wannabe ricers around my area throwing CF hoods and what not on cars that dont work). no offense to anyone that does like CF. just not my taste. I was willing to spend $400 because thats the only price i could find. If theres cheaper than im down for saving money.

Dude the price for the Arkym diffuser DCTMS is selling is like DOUBLE that now. It's ridiculous...No piece of plastic should cost that much T_T. But it does look good. I'd probably opt for like a $240 quad diffuser. OEM or CF are both around the same price.
