- Quad tips, oem c63 diffuser
- 20% tint
- oh yeah, NEW GRILLE! I really want to see one of you guys with a '12 buy this grill and put it on.

Thats the grille i just looked at ! i plan on buying it soon,
also ordered a c63 diffuser and quad tips, getting the 20% tip done sometime in the near future, as well as CF wrapping my mirrors...

not sure i need to coil overs though

yeah i think that plan sounds pretty good! i think the 4matics have a nice ride height as is. my rwd is a little high in the front for my tastes but HR SS springs are a little too low.

Disagree with others. I thought about removing my lower side chrome till I saw someone else's pix. Removing the chrome from a black car looks like ****. Just my 2 cents. Glad I saw pix before I scarred my car.

Exclamation UPDATE** New pics roughly a year later.

Its been roughly a year since I received my '12 W204, So I thought it was a good time for an update.

Recently added:

Full LED interior
LED parking lights, puddle lights (including door lights)
New SLS/SL style single fin grille
20% tints all around
Re-Plastidipped my rims

Coming soon:
AMG Door Pins
Quad Diffuser+Tips
Chrome door handle inserts? (I've seen them on a bunch of Merc's and like the OEM look to it)


*Stereo Upgrade (Infinity Kappa?)
----Input??

I'll upload a pic of the side later tonight definitely, and the trunk lip spoiler is the OEM Mercedes installed one, i believe it was a $350 dealer added option.
