That all sounds good. You can't really go wrong with the black on black look.

Maybe you should see if there is anyone in your area with a lowered c class for you to ride in. Most people seem ot think the ride quality isn't overly diminished

Yeah I'm thinking about it - my father and girlfriend are not fans of it so I'll have to get through that criticism, ha!

If you have any rims you think would look good feel free to post links! Like I've mentioned, I'm new to the car game completely so I don't even know what to start looking, ha.

Thanks!

Lowering can certainly wait as you purchased a Sport, which is pretty good ride-height wise from the factory. Def not a tucked look, but most don't want/need that. My Eibach Pro-Kits only lowered the car another "tad". Still not tucked, which is exactly what I wanted.

Absolute first thing IMO is to get new sidemarkers.
Wheels? Check out powerwheelspro.com. Reputable vendor that makes quality reps at a great price. Congrats once again on coming over to the Dark Side.

Yeah, I was actually looking at it outside and it looks pretty low as it is, ha.

I agree about the side marker, it seems like a cheap investment that will make it look much better, so it needs to happen (now I know it's a side marker.. not the orange side light thingy).

Thanks for the wheels tip, I just do not like the stock ones that it has on there, man they're bad.

And yes, I'm loving it so far! :P

I know it has the plate/sticker on it. I've been pretty busy since I bought it but plan on getting rid of that asap.
