Hey guys back at it again with the car mods! I got some 18" wheels off of craigslist for really cheap and since Im on a budget they worked for me. They're 18x8 et35 all around (yes I know low offset) but the fitment is very great to me and yes I have a SQUARE set up with 225/40R18 all around which is good because my back tires go really fast, so its nice to rotate them also I have my tailights tinted with VHT niteshades but only one coat for the smoke look and I love them
Quick question, how did you go about getting those eyelids on the car? Is it just paint or is it a piece of plastic you've put on? Looks dope.
Its actually plasti dip! it doesn't match the paint exactly but after a while it just starts to match somehow lol I just masked it off and sprayed & thanks!
Just a little update (excuse the dirty car) I got a big-fin carbon diffuser to go along with my 2.5" straight pipe set up I have more things coming just wait...
oh sweet hows the quality and fitment does it match up with real carbon fibre or is it fake looking can't really tell from the pics it looks good on the car from the pictures stand point

Well that's convenient! Could you show me a closer up picture of how it looks? Always wanted eyelids on the facelift lights, but haven't seen anyone do it yet.
...I have a 2013 C250 and got around to do some cosmetic stuff and wanted to get some feedback on it...
Either relocate the front license plate or remove it completely and pay the fines. Under no circumstances should a license plate be the first point of impact on any car.

It matches everything I have on the car, which is great. Ive had the front lip, trunk and roof spoiler on for over a year now and everything looks the same no discoloration or anything. Looks exactly like real carbon fibre and I turn a lot of heads when i drive around even c63 owners
I don't have any pics close up of the eyelids sorry Ill have to get back on that...but hopefully the first picture will work
As for an update: I finished off 2015 with some H&R super sports the drop is great and the car drives better than stock I think personally. The grille is getting redone might gloss black vinyl wrap the back or buy an AMG grille
I really like these exhaust tips, were you able to find anywhere that sells them?
No i did not. In that picture i was mainly talking about the spoiler but thats RENNTechs car and i could imagine that exhaust was probably way out of my price range lol I went with the c63 style tips instead
And couple questions:
A) why did you mix gloss black and matte black - why not go all one way?
B) as for front plate, why not just put in windshield?
C) what tint did you go with?

It's 12 posts up #79. Unless the picture isn't loading for you...
A) I got tired of using plasti-dip and wanted to try out vinyl and always wanted gloss black to begin with, but the mix of the two colors aren't a big deal to me
B) Where i live in California the cops will pull me over for no front plate and putting it in the windshield doesn't do it for them so i got the tow hook since i don't wanna deal with a ticket
C) I have 50% front and 20% rear, but later on ill have 20% all around and a 70% windshield tint
Haven't been on the forum for a while now and should update the build thread:
1. Car has been re-tinted with 35% tints up front with 20% still in the rear. The front windshield has been tinted at 70%
2. All-fit automotive lip installed for the side skirts. Couldn't justify at this time to spend $500+ on a carbon fiber side skirt for the oem side skirts
3. GFB diverter valve install. Don't have any pics but WELL WORTH the money spent on it. The car pulls a lot harder and way better throttle response.
4. Trim on the grill I vinyl wrapped gloss black so the whole front flows much better
