I want my car like this - nice and simple

I want do some simple mods to make my 09 c300 sport look a little bit more appealing.

I dont have a Pano roof or xenons which right their make the car look better.

See pics of what I want to do.

Rear trunk lip
Rims (not sure which ones these are any help)
Possible get vinyl put onto my roof (anyone do this on a silver c300?)
Change my tail lights to the ones on this car (not sure what they are either!)

Appreciate any feedback or help.

C300 Sport
Those are the stock 18" AMG wheels.

Tail lights are normal ones from 08-11, but with LED turn signals.

Hids can be installed with an aftermarket kit. There are a ton of threads about the installation and recommendations on kits to purchase.

I put the 2012 tail lights and 18" AMG wheels on my car and it looks a lot better! Sooner or latter I am going to add the led fog light and the new side mirrors.

NIce and simple is the way I like them too!!!! I love those AMG wheels. Just got mine refinished for next spring ;-) I also got the small spoiler in the back, it was part of the "AMG STYLING PACKAGE". Love it! I don't have any picture because the car got winter tires and rims until spring!

I have an HID kit installed. First thing I did was purchase one. Had a few issues with the coloring though. Locally I could only get my hands on a 5000K kit with the warning cancelers. About 2 weeks ago I ended up purchasing 4300k Bulbs on ebay and installing them with my original ballats and cancelers. One canceler was making the light turn off so I removed it working fine now. 1 thing down.

Next I really want a rear trunk lip - Benz wants 390 for one plus 150 to paint it. I have been looking on ebay and was able to find one for less then $70! Rumor has it that they are more universal and ebayers list them for a c300 but dont exactly fit. Any recommendations on a cheap trunk spoiler?

Next is the wheels - anyone know of a cheap place to get aftermarket ones?

I have been looking into the 2010 + mirrors expect they are so expensive!
