Hopefully I did this right.
2008 Saks C350
45% tint all around

New Flat Black front grill, bought a glossy one on ebay and plasti dipped it. Also plasti dipped the fog mesh grills but not the center grill because I couldnt take it out. Will paint it when I get a garage. Attempted to apply tint lamin-x but failed. I like the stock look anyway.
Not many more mods planned since I am very happy with the mb designers look. Just some tasteful details which make the vehicle a little more distinct.

Any suggestions for next mods? Thinking some new amg, vossen, or vmr wheels.

looks clean!

nice rims are those OEM?

altawila

Yeah, the Saks edition comes standard with the 18inch AMG rims

beautiful car, love the interior - is that the only change with the Saks edition?..I think you went a step backwards by plasti-crapping the grill - really cheapens an otherwise classy looking car.

altawila

You think so? I kept the OEM grill in case I didn't like it.

Its all about personal taste - if you like it that is all that matters really, but I think it looks dull and sucks life outta the car - Maybe have it sprayed with actually paint? More gloss to it? Sweet car though - good luck

I agree, the matte black grille looks out of place on your car. I suggest you have the silver portions of your OEM grille painted gloss black. It will look much nicer.

I really love the special edition two tone black and ivory interior -- don't do a thing to the interior.

VMR wheels would look really nice, but the AMG wheels you already have looks sharp. The 2010+ style mirror covers would improve the exterior and it's the best mod for your buck.

altawila

Good points by all. I may clear coat the flat black grill to give it more dimensions, post that and see how it goes.... I really dont want to touch the OEM grill.

Car is looking good so far, but like others have said it would look even better if the grill was gloss black instead of matte.

Does the plasti dip come off? Its gloss black under it. Here is a pic before I plasti'd it

Switch the mercedes emblem out to the crome color and it will make the car stand out nicely

The plasti dip will come off but it can be pretty tedious . I would go vmr for the wheels . Maybe go for an x-pipe to give your exhaust note a little more texture . Maybe spray the slats if the grill gloss black and the chrome pieces flat black on the grill .

Nice looking car !

Congrats,

looks good, I would go back to gloss. The plastidip will peel and pit off with some miles on the road.

All flat black = no good. It doesnt look rite since ur car is gloss black.. I would do the star and the chrome slats in gloss and the rest flat..

This.

Otherwise, sweet car man!

Nice, I had a flat grill but on my opinion the glossy grill looks better my $0.02

I like the gloss grille. It matches the rest of the car. I love that interior. Looks good.
