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

Very nice, and I don't think you can get Xenon, P1, or Heated seats installed after. Sorry. You could try to take it back and get one with those options though.

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?

aamirani

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.

If you don't mind... Can you give me a rough estimate on how much? and did you put quad tip?

You should do a dual exhaust stead of quad, with an X-pipe it will suit your car better.

aamirani

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.

You think so? What about the other mods

aamirani

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.

Wouldn't it be the same for both?

aamirani

Same side markers? No.

Swap to dual exhaust and change diffuser? I don't know what the warranty issues are related to that though. Car looks great! enjoy

If you want to black some things out, you could experiment with PlastiDip.
