I never had the stock spoiler on my car but use some heat and dental floss I hear is a good way then get some adhesive remover. Or you could use those things you apply vinyl with they're pretty sturdy. Hope that helps

hey I'm working on my c250 right now is there anyway you can text or email me my number is 209-914-6402 and my email is g_sukhvir@yahoo.com thank you it'll mean a lot !
Updated pics with the carbon fiber side skirts. Looks 100x better than the all-fit automotive lip. Haven't taken any good pics from the rear, but will update when I do.
Keep up the good work. I'd say the last thing is roof wrap and change the headlights.
Thanks bro! I've ran out of carbon stuff to do on my car because as of right now I can't really justify $250 for carbon mirrors, but I'll get it eventually haha. I've wanted to get the roof wrapped for a while now, but I've gotten really expensive quotes...I bought some vinyl light tint off ebay for super cheap so I'm gonna experiment with that next week and I'll post pics of how that goes

Check ebay. You can get the full carbon mirrors for $150 shipped. I buy all my CF on ebay and it is awesome fitment/finish.

Are you talking about the carbon fiber covers that just go on the outside of the existing mirrors? Because I haven't seen a carbon fiber one that is the whole mirror housing replacement for $150. Not so big of a fan of the covers because of my white car it won't look too good.

Haven't seen you in a while. Nice work.
I would remove the chrome strip on each side of the car under the doors. I did it to mine, and looks way better.
I don't know why Mercedes decided to tape on random out of place chrome stripes. I'm trying to spread the word for the removal of them if of course, you have the sport model; sport models should not have them.

Just wrap it yourself. Don sells some wrap on here and there is some on amazon that is great as well. Roof isn't very hard.
NOT THAT I'VE DONE IT but it is winter so maybe in future.

On white its more subtle and I don't mind the chrome, in fact I like it :P

I thought about taking that trim off, but I will be moving down to Florida soon and I really don't have a place to store it. TBH it doesn't look bad to me either and mines black and not chrome, but thats just me.

I haven't heard too many good things about carbon fiber from China I have always gotten it from Taiwan and its all held up pretty good. If anyone can weigh in on the different carbon fiber I would appreciate it.

I actually contacted Don already and he has pretty good prices. Not in the financial position to get it done but for $50 for just the vinyl I want to give it a shot myself. I vinyl wrapped my grill so I think I can get it done

The trim doesn't come off in one piece, and you don't store it lol. You just chuck it out. Mine came off in a bunch of little pieces, and the worst part about removing it is the glue cleanup.
I've gotten both Taiwanese and Chinese products. They haev both been high quality. FYI you have Paypal on your side so if it is junk they will get you you're money back.

It looks like a decent piece of trim i didn't expect it to come off in pieces haha I have a very controversial decal coming in the mail so i might have to end up removing it anyways.
Meanwhile, I experimented with some tint vinyl (Light tint not Dark) today and failed miserably at tinting the head lights. The vinyl is much harder to use than regular vinyl, but I ended up throwing some tint on the DRLs and man do I love them. Removed the plasti-dip eyebrows as well.
One of my w204 friends had modded his car to the max and about 8 hours after he got new rims his car got completely totaled. Just hit home to me that the $350+ for the lights and the financial position I'm in right now not totally worth it to me. Do I want the DEPO headlights? Of course. Do I need them? Not really I just need some HIDs because the stock halogens are trash.
Finally got this decal in the mail all the way from china and some of you are gonna hate it, some are gonna love it. Might lose respect from a lot of you for it. But I don't advertise my car as an AMG and there's no badge but MANNNNN DOES IT LOOK AMAZING! Breaking necks more than usual Also the Mercedes star is dipped with Autodip (for fun) and matches perfectly with gloss black vinyl. (the car is super dirty as its been raining in cali off and on so the car hasn't been washed in months)
Haven't gotten around to posting the pics up on here, but here's my latest Craigslist find: Forgestar F14 18x8.5 18x9.5 (unknown offset) with 235/40 front and 255/35 rear. The rears ended up needing spacers, so I went with 12mm H&R Trak+ spacers (2455665) with H&R extended bolts (1454002). I included some before and after pics with the spacers. You can see the huge difference I will say the rears are EXTREMELY close to the fender but somehow do not rub
Let me know when! I'm so down don't have pics of my car from a DSLR actually... and yes still on the stock spring pads. Heard the ride quality wasn't too great with them so I never ended up getting them. Loving the beefy set up I have on the car now though
