Just an update of what I've done so far to my ride.

Rear spoiler
6k HIDs
AMG door pins
35% tints
Painted grille
Magnaflow x-pipe

I may get rims down the road once its time to get new tires. I plasti dipped the side markers but didnt like it at night so i just removed it lol... patiently waiting for aftermarket ones ....and onto the next mod!! Hope you guys like it!

Beautiful car, but if you place the x pipe near the front and add the extend pipe to the back of it you will get better results

MBSebas87

really? ohh man i guess it's too late now

Car looks nice. Next mods should maybe be some rims and debadging the trunk.

ekryder

Cool! I want that AMG door pins

snowmuch

They're $50 on ebay

How much louder did it get after the xpipe and how much did it cost to install?

MBSebas87

New rims is next and still debating on debadgeping or plasti dip it lol

MBSebas87

Well it's def louder even to the untrained ear. You can def hear it when you reach 3k rpm! And I'm in north jersey so everything is overpriced ....$92 for the xpipe from amazon and 139 for the install ....still a cheap mod!

Trust me, I had my emblems previously plastic dipped and now that I have debadged, the car looks so much cleaner from the back. One of my favorite mods.

i want your door pins!

MBSebas87

I'm still trying to make up mind on this lol...question tho..how do you put it back if you're selling ur car???

MBSebas87

Haha they truly make a difference to the interior! I got them from amazon!!

Did u install the door pins yourself? Did u do the back doors?:0

MBSebas87

I did ...it's really easy! Just search and you'll find many threads on installing door pins. And the pic unlocked is the rear and locked one is the front passenger

MBSebas87

Yeah man rims most def!! I'm gonna plasti dip it first to see how it looks and if I don't like it then debadging it is!! Lol

Hey your car looks great, i have the same exact car, same options and everything lol. Now i know you got your 6k hid's from retrofit source, could you pinpoint me to exactly what you bought in order to do that? I was on the website but am completely new to this type of stuff. All help is appreciated. thanks

MBSebas87

thats cool that we have the exact same car lol here's the link:

Im pretty sure our bulb is H7 but ill double check when i get home from work. Just scroll down and pick the H7 system. Once your on the next page, select the color you want from 4300k, 5k, or 6k. 6K is the closest to stock xenons so thats what I got. Select 35w for ballast, H7 for wire harness (standalone can-bus type). DONT select heavy duty relay type because you will get errors when you install it. Best purchase I've ever made!! Well after my car lol Good luck!

I take it that you did not need to replace anything to do with the headlamp itself? I would assume that yours is a projector lens, which is suitable for HID Xenons? Just curious, as I recently "converted" mine over as well.

Nice round of mods! Looks good!

pgasparro

THanks a lot just placed my order, how hard is the install? Are there any DIY guides for it?

MBSebas87

Actually mine are reflectors. I didn't get the lighting package. All I had to do is drill the dusk cap and find a place to put the ballast that's about it lol now when you say "converted" you mean you retrofitted to projectors???

MBSebas87

Thanks man!!! Just trying to make it look as clean as possible!

MBSebas87

No problem! It's not too hard! I've done this before so I'm familiar with the process. Here's a link:

Everything is there!!

Now I could be mistaken, but I thought projectors were just those "frog lens" headlamps, like this: found within one of these:

So, are you saying that your car doesn't have the frog lens looking lamp? I thought it would on such a new car. But maybe I'm mixing up my terms.

For me, I have that projector style lens, so I don't have a bad cut-off and blind drivers.
