Your Ride looks awesome! Stormtrooper'd cars just have a special spot in my heart lol
The black tail light trim (and maybe gloss black sideview mirrors) would completely perfect the look in my opinion.

but if you don't mind answering a couple questions for me: is that the regular MB spoiler that comes with the C350? And what percent tint are your onyx tail lights?

if you are referring to the trunk spoiler, it is jl motorings cf trunk spoiler...and Im not sure on the percentage, its a grey/black "onyx" colored tint that my local shop uses for sidemarkers, fogs, and exterior lighting

I love what you have done! I have had my c for almost 3 months. I wanted to personalize it a bit. Had the dealer throw in the spoiler upon purchase, of course they probably chose the least expensive one which was less pronounced than I would have chosen. I thought about red or yellow calipers, very unsure. Mostly I wanted a roof spoiler but was unsure how it would look with the panoramic top open. Haven't really seen any pics of one, could you post a side view with pano open if not too much to ask.
