Looking for mod suggestions for W204 C300 Sport.

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a few suggestions of mods/wheels that would look good on a dark grey W204 C300. I'm trying to go for a black out style, but any suggestions are much appreciated! Keep in mind I'm 17 with a budget.

Whats your budget range? You can start out with tints.

I'm going to get 30%-20%(haven't decided on %) tint all around in the upcoming weeks. I'm mainly looking for grill options, wheels(either a matte black or graphite color) an maybe a front lip. My budget is around $1200 for the wheels(give or take a few hundred). I'm looking for grills around the $250-$300 range of there are any. Not looking too heavily for lip but if I find a good deal I'll buy. Not too picky when it comes to new or used, just prefer not to banged up. Hope that helps alittle!

The powder coat looks surprisingly good!! I'm just having second thoughts about powder coating because my current wheels are 17". Whats the price range for powder coating per wheel? Did you go to a shop or do it yourself? If the price is good I might as well do it and maybe not have to buy new wheels and tires.

Luckily i work for the dealer so i got mine done for $360 total but client cost is $185 per wheel.... and i was a little hesitant to do mine since they were 17"s but everywhere i go i get compliments on them and they look really good with a fresh coat of tire shine!

I say do the quad tip setup, it's by far the best mod for the money IMHO

Wow..$185 is a bit steep per wheel. Ill try to find a dealer who does it for maybe $110-$120 per. You got yours matte black? Any suggestions for the color for mine? Black looks good with your arctic white car, wondering what goes good with grey.

The quad setup is cool but I wanna keep my car looking like a C300. I'd only go for the quad if I got the AMG version. Thanks for the suggestion!! If you got any more let me know!!

We've done wheels with brushed faces and black accents plus you could also do a gunmetal grey which would look really good

Living in California, you're not worried about being pulled over for front window tints? I have 45-15 so there's a good contrast. Hard to tell I tinted my front windows at all
