Looking at buying an 08 C350 with AMG rims. If you only had a $1,000 to spend in customizing it where would you put that money?

Here's what I'm thinking so far:
W204 08-11 C-Class Sedan AMG Style Front Bumper Cover $360
Black DRL Headlights $300
Smoked LED Perform Tail Lights $200
C63 Sport W204 Duraflex L-Sport Front Under Spoiler Air Dam $250

Total: $1,110 - well went a little over

Let me know your thoughts...

Project before:




Parts:

you would have to get the front bumper painted too LOL i would just get springs for $250 and a set of wheels

I'd spend that money on insurance, gas, or rainy day fund if an unexpected repair comes up. I think car will look better stock than with the parts listed.

These mirror covers only run bout $130 and look 1000x better than stock

Those mirror covers look great. Where did you get them from? Have you thought about replacing the fogs with the 7 LED DRL's? I would like to do that but I haven't actually seen an example.

I got the mirror covers from here:

I havn't done anything with the lights just yet as I don't truly understand the differences in all the configurations. Just starting to learn that piece.

C63 diffuser with quad tips. ~$400-500
AMG door pins $50

spend the rest on the HID conversions. I think they were $400-500 IIRC.

wheels and a drop

Rear diffuser and quad tips with a drop on springs. If the muffler shop is nice they might delete the cats for free. Looks and a decent sound

Oh and pull the chrome off the doors ... That's free

Hey guys thanks for the feedback.. seem to be striking out with bodykit and led lights so may need to rethink things

i think an x pipe with the second cats or first resonator delete is defiantly an inexpensive way for sound. defiantly the diffuser with quad tips.LED lighting. HIDS. Grille

Drop it on H&R Supersports, buy some plasti dip & vinyl wrap to get rid of the chrome. Instead if buying a new grill you can just dismount it and dip it. Did it to mine and it makes a world of difference in looks. Either a lip or LED tails for the rest.

To help the topic of this thread instead of holier then thou opinions, i find the new bumpers/tints/wheels helps the look the most.

used coilovers (the rebuildable type) and some H&R wheel spacers

I would do the 7 LEDs DRLS first with that $1000 as our 2008 round fog lights crack very easily with rocks when driving. Here's a picture of mine done, cost was $409 total with installation.
Totally worth it.
Also change out your cup holder trim to new oem one from ebay, as the rubberized material might be peeling. bought that from ebay for $45 dollars.

None of the above. This machine is for driving. Front and rear Eibach antisway bar upgrade kit installed. Transformative!!

U CAN DO MOST OF THESE FOR 1000

please tell me more about these!
