Does front lips damage the bumper in anyway? I hear that you have to drill it to the front bumper. Will it be like drilling holes into the bumper? Lol if i take off the front lip, will the holes be visible?

Obviously you will have to drill holes but you can go with real small screws and when you take the lip off nothing will be visible

You do have to drill small holes under your bumper, which won't be visible unless you look under the bumper. (That's what I've heard) So don't be afraid of the damages.

I was thinking about switching out my grill for a black one, Tinting my windows, smoking out my headlights and smoking out the rears.

I want to know what ideas you guys have in mind.

Thanks,

just a few things if you wanted to see how they might look...

I don't have any good pictures right now, but I have a silver c300 with pano and the 18" wheels,

I've installed OEM C63 Headlights, had my OEM grill painted gloss black with the original chrome, put on 2010 style mirror covers and plastidiped my trunk lid chrome. I like the way it looks, can't think of much to more on my exterior, may some DRLs and 2012 rear lights

When you get the chance, I think it'd be really cool to check your car out.

almac04, those are some nice exterior mods you've done.

Where did you buy your parts from?
