Has anyone noticed more modded W204's?

Lately I've been seeing a lot more W204's with cosmetic mods. It may be something small like a black grill or blacked out side markers. I've seen a few lowered or on bigger rims. It's been more C250's than anything. Anyone else seem to notice this trend within the last year or so?

Not in my area - the most I see are tints, the occasional blackout of the letters. I did once see a 4-cylinder C250 coupe (only model to my knowledge with 1 exhaust pipe) covered in C63 badges

I've noticed a few more around me. At they get older and cheaper you'll see them bought by people who are more likely to mod them. Nothing unusual. Just part of the circle of life with a luxury car.

I seem to find myself doing/buying something to my 5 month old 2012 every few weeks. I've done backup camera, clear side markers with chrome bulb, stainless steel door pins, silver MB wheel hub cap, new lug nuts, MB symbol projector puddle, MB license plate frame, license plate screw covers, all season floor mats, self made bumper hole plugs, and 30pin to lightning adapter cable.
My list is running low, I only have illuminated star, new brighter D1S xenon bulbs, a Star C4 clone and maybe illuminated door sill left to buy.

This is the best I could do. Haven't been in a lower light environment.

Agreed. We have a lot here in Phoenix/Valley area. Usually people in their 20's to mid 30's. Sometimes not the best quality mods but still tastefully done.
