I have a 2009 iridium silver c350 w/ panam sun, and the 6 spoke amg tires.

I wanted some ideas as to what I can add to it cosmetically.

My mind is revolving a silver/black theme, but I'm not exactly sure how it'd turn out to be.

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,

Best visual upgrade if you're going for that. Anything chrome, black it out, tint the tails and switch out the sidemarkers. Other than that a CF diffuser and spoiler would add a nice touch.

1. Carbon Fiber Front Lip
2. Carbon Fiber Rear Diffuser
3. Carbon FIber Mirror covers
4. Lamin-X Smoke film on headlights, tail lights (don't use this- it doesn't stick) and side markers.
5. Formula 1 Pinnacle Ceramic Tint

I like what you've done, but my only concern is that I'll have an overflow of black, because of the panoramic, making my whole roof black already.

What do you think?

AkaSigFreak

I think it would look better with the pano roof

Silver/black theme is the best way you can go.

I wish my car was iridium silver or palladium silver.

Also, your roof being black already is a good thing. Not an "overflow' of black at all. A lot of people black out their roofs regardless of the exterior color.

Where can we get the CF Mirror covers you mentioned AkaSigFreak

YoussefAbe

looks great! what percentage tint are you using?

VictorE

I'd like to add dual exhaust tips on each side if I end up buying the Rear Diffuser, but I don't want to look like a c63 wanna-be.

They are made from REAL Carbon Fiber and are flexible. They are about 98-99% perfect, but may have some tiny imperfections in the clearcoat. If you look at the pics- an example is right over the "C" in the watermark. When Installed- they were not noticeable. Had them on for over 3 yrs without issues.

Where have you removed chrome?
I can tell you removed the chrome strips from each side, but I can't really see what you've done with the ones around your windows.

AkaSigFreak

That's the only chrome removed. The windows don't really show on Iridium.

VictorE

I don't intend to debadge my car, do you think it would look nice if I plasty dip the c350 and benz logo?

AkaSigFreak

I like the subtleness of the chrome against the Iridium Silver. If you dip it- it will stand out more.

VictorE

I also don't intend on making my rears as heavy as you have.

Do you suggest I do anything with my wing? I have some CF wrap i could put on it, because I don't intend on buying another wing if I could just wrap it myself. After all, I'm going for aesthetics.

Less is better. I would swap the front markers for clear, 35% tint all around, H&R coilovers, 6000K HIDs morimoto, 8000K LED eye brows, front and rear turn signals to match.

VictorE

What do you mean by "Less is better"?

VictorE

I found these Center caps on Amazon, they look like a nice addition.

AkaSigFreak

Be careful when ordering center caps. I ordered some online and they look exactly like the OEM but don't sit correctly.

AlexanderLui

If you add a double deck wing i think itll look nice, almost like AMG. should add some downforce which means horsepower also!

MishaDesigns

Wow.

Not doing all kinds of stuff to the exterior of a classy car. ie blacking out lights, putting decals, chrome stuff, etc. It will make the car very tacky. Lowering the car nice and even all around will already enhance the look no matter what wheels you have on there, even stock.

Keep it clean like this...

I agree that black and silver looks good. Equal parts classy and aggressive. Removing door chrome trim is easy and the rest you can plastidip or vinyl over easily enough for cheap. It's the small details that you and fellow w204 enthusiasts will appreciate.

VictorE

Thing is, I'm looking for a more aggressive look for my car.
Keeping my car stock wouldn't make it as fun and interesting.
I want it to stand out, but in a good way.
I understand where you're coming from and I agree that adding "too much" would make it look tacky.
However, I don't necessarily think that it's too much if it all blends well together and makes the car that much more great.
In the end, If i don't like an addition I've added, I could always remove it and return to the stock part.
The only thing I would have lost is a few hundred dollars and time spent installing.
