2009 C350 Evolution

Last month, I became the owner of a 2009 C350.

It includes all options except the camera, parking sensor, and Panroma roof.

There are some minor issues such as the center console peeling and the driver's side door handle wear.

Overall, I am enjoying the car coming from a C240 which had no options. Its a pretty big upgrade.

3rd mod: Blacked out grill

blacked out the grill. Broke two tabs off the star and had to super glue. I did not attempt to take off chrome strips. You need a thin flat head screw driver as well.

This and that.
Did you change the eyebrows yourself? Is it easy enough to do as a DIY? Any instructions? And where did you purchase the lights from?

Car's looking good.

I did all upgrades myself. The LEDS are from AZN. You need vice grips or small pliers. Pretty easy, just need to be careful not to pull on the wire.

Instructions are on the sticky DIY.

New Grill

After I painted my original grill, it started to chip and then I got into an accident so bye bye grill. Painting can definitely hold up but you need to prep the chrome surface, use multiple coats and then use a finishing coat.

So I just bought a new one off eBay.
