Hey Guys, new member of the W204 club here. Picked up my C350 in Oct, and here is what she looks like now.

Not a fan of covering up the eyebrows on the headlights, but everything else looks good.

I kind of like the blacked out eyebrows. Does light still shine through or have you completely blacked them out?

The top part of the eyebrow is blacked out but light shines out through the front.

Looks good. I'm thinking of doing something similar to my Luxury model, but I want to use the material that's used to blackout taillights. So the light still shines like stock. Having trouble finding them though >.<

how would you do that? it has to be hard plastic so it comes on the same level as the bonnet.
i have them too btw on my car

So the plastic that these covers are made out of won't work?

the height difference vs the bonnet will be way too visible. i doubt it will give your car a nice look but you can always give it a try

would look better if the eyebrow cover was lower, and even with the chrome line that runs thru the headlight and even with the seam in the hood.. symmetry is your friend. Also if you dont want light to shine thru, pull the bulbs and tape them with black electric tape.

That's the thing. I DO want the light to shine through. That's the only reason why I brought up the plastic material that is used to blackout taillights.
