That dipped front bumper looks great! White cars can totally pull that off, especially the face lifted w204's! I'd day, get a little tint on the windows, black out that orange reflector, and possibly even vinyl black out the roof. If you're sticking to the laws, I believe most states in the US will not allow dark tints and definitely not the blacked out side markers, but its all up to you. So far, I think it looks good! Have fun with it!

Sounds good! I actually vinyl wrapped my side reflectors. I bought little squares of black vinyl and cut them to just barely wrap over the reflectors . I had to go under the wheel well and get through a few screws. Everything I've done to my car is easily reversible, so I get where you're coming from lol

I'm in no way qualified to answer that bud, but you can always email Fonzie, the dipyourcar guy. I'm sure HE would know. But from what I've seen, if you plastidip your reflectors white and then put glossifier, nobody should be able to tell the difference unless they're really looking for it. heck, you may not even need glossfier. Just ask fonzie to be sure lol.

Well I made another change today with some plastidip :P anyways I painted the area near the LED DRLs to make a "bigger vent" look. Not sure on if it will stay but anyways here is a pic of it.
Circled on one side to show the specific area:

Well I had it done! On Friday I had my roof vinyl wrapped by the one and only Don Nguyen. Then today I did a quick and basic photoshoot. Here are some of two of my favorites.

Very nice, I like the roof quite a bit. How much does it cost to get something like that done? And the plasti-dip stuff for the front bumper, what kind of prices are you looking at for that?
