2014 C300 Sport
Starting from Scratch

Just picked up a 2014 W204 C300 Sport 4Matic, looking for ideas on mods. Its black on black, leased, so I'm looking for more aesthetic as opposed to performance mods. I'm going to be debadging and dipping the emblems as well as the rims within the next few weeks. Any ideas are more than welcome.

In your opinion do you think it would be better if I removed and plastidipped the stock grill black, or purchased an aftermarket grill and installed it instead?

Well it depends. Post up a few photos of your car to see what we're dealing with.

I personally put an aftermarket grill without a Benz logo since I have a hood ornament.

if you want to change the stock grill to black i recommend vinyl wrapping it. better texture than plastic dip and looks better IMO
