2013 C250
My New Car :) Suggestions?
Well I just purchased my brand new 2013 C250 benz 
Its polar white on Ash MB-Tex. Pano with becker maps. Also its the sport edition. Unfortunately to get the great deal I received I couldn't get the C300 or C350 like I originally planned.. But this was a great buy and I definitely stand by my decision. Unfortunately I couldn't get some nice features though such as heated seats or even memory seats. The only thing I have done so far is tint the windows.. I got 35% (legal limit in AZ) in front and 15% around the rest. I love the car the way it is but was wondering what else I should do to it? I was thinking of either painting the rims black or getting a new set but I would personally like to keep stock.. I was also going to remove the C250 and possibly paint the remaining emblems black. Also I really didnt like the fact that it wasn't xenon headlamps so a mechanic of mine just told me to do HID. Should I or should I have benz put xenon? (How much would that cost by any chance?) Also I was wondering if its possible to install P1 after purchase? Or is there anyway I can get heated seats now? Thanks in advance for those who try and help and please let me know what you think of the mods I plan on doing

Really? Thats disappointing... Its ok though.. For the deal I got its worth it.. But what do you think about the other mods that i was talking about (Like HID?)? Also should I change the exhaust system and intake?

There are plenty of guides on installing HIDs, although I don't know if it's changed for the 2013 model. I've changed my exhausts and put in a x-pipe, which you should be able to do as well.

I'm looking at a quad tip right now actually. It costs anywhere from $400-$600 for a decent diffuser that is needed to fit the quad-tip exhaust. Second, you'll need the tips that can cost anywhere from $200-$300, for the right size and good quality. Then labor for install, you can most likely install the diffuser yourself, but you'll need Y pipes made, or welded onto your setup which can run you another $80 or so.

I'm not sure if they have the 2013 sidemarkers out yet, but on my 2011 I have clear sidemarkers with 8000K LEDs, and an x-pipe. That's all I have pretty much so far. You could also look at an aftermarket spoiler from JBSpeed or jl-motoring.
