Met a guy who got bit by the mod bug this morning

As thread title says, I met a fellow modder this morning.
I had an appointment with my doc and saw his W204 so I parked next to it to take a quick snapshot. I actually thought it was a C63 coz of the valance and the quad tips.
He saw me getting in my car and said "nice car!".
So we talked for a little bit bout the upgrades he did to his car and mine.

It has carbon fiber c63 style rear valance, quad tips, blacked out tails, black side mirrors, cf spoiler, roof spoiler, black painted hood, yellow fogs, cf fabric wrapped interior.

I know its not a big deal but modded mercedes' here in AZ are a rarity.

I haven't seen a whole lot of modded c300/c350 around, but Scottsdale sure has its fair share of modded c63s and other cars around that class and up.

You ever check out that car meet at the McDonalds off the 101 and Indian Bend--held every Saturday? Mostly muscle in the front and imports in the back, but I've seen a couple Cs.

What up with the JDM lifestyle hand sign o_o. That kinda throws it off. I dig the white/black/CF but the Rockstar and JDM hand sign decals are a tad too much for me :3 Still, to each his own and the car itself looks pretty good. Wish I could see what kind of wheels he has.

Yeah I go there once in a while..I always see the new silver Gullwing but haven't seen the C's. There's a bunch of modded S550 and CLS's too.
There's a meet of exotics also at scottsdale road and doubletree road on the first weekend of every month.

Not 100% on what it's used for but I see it on multiple JDM blogs and like 1 out of 3 JDM cars (which are mostly integras, evos, etc.) at UCI. When I asked someone what it meant that's what I was told . Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

edit: oh dear god. I googled it. LOL. Wtf.

I agree with xXHotelCrazyXx, the stickers are too much.
What kind of wheels were on that car?
