Where To Start?

Hi everyone,

So I just bought a 2010 C300 Sport (Blk/Blk) and want to start working on it (aesthetically and performance wise).

Trying to decide what would be a few first things to do, I've been checking out the forum for a bit but there's so much that I'm a bit overwhelmed.

I'm going to get 30% tints tomorrow (dont want to go darker) and it looks like a few good things to do first would be switch in clear side markers and maybe change diffuser & exhaust.

Since I just bought it, I cant spend too much as of now starting out. All basic advice is appreciated, I'm a noob to this stuff and last car was my dad's old accord.

Okay, the first thing you should do is get an eissenman racing exhaust and a RENNtech R3 performance upgrade.

Joking, get a diffuser (you don't need to start off with Carbon fiber, get the $150 one from ebay, unless you insist) and get some quad tips ($250-300?). An x-pipe and new muffler would be cool too ($150 for the pipe and muffler and maybe $150-200 to get the x pipe, muffler, and tips installed, more or less based on where you live).

In addition to that^:
Black out your amber reflectors, maybe black out or change your rims, spoiler of your choice (multiple styles on Ebay).
