2011 C300

First time posting pictures... this is my wife's C300. I put some 18 inch rims (225/40/18 all the way around) from discount tire. My buddy works there so I got a crazy deal on them during president's day. Plasti dipped badges and front lip. I got the hood vinyl wrapped and I vinyl wrapped the window trim. Beware of the iphone pics... Future mods.... new grill for sure, maybe front lip, diffuser, rear spoiler. Comments welcomed. Beware of the iphone pics...

She looks great so far. Definitely a rear spoiler will help the rear aesthetics. Were you thinking black/cf or color matched? Any thoughts in tinting the tail lights so it's not just one glob of red?

I had always thought of smoking the tails on there but I know that they could get dark really fast if your not careful... I'll probably attempt this weekend.

You can get a wrap done for $150? I would have guessed much, much more. Window tinting costs more than that.

No way, maybe for just a roof wrap. But a full vehicle wrap would cost you anywhere between $2k-$3k according to the places I've gotten quotes from.

Not too sure where the $150 came from but I got my roof wrapped for $330.... that seemed to be about the average every where I priced it here in SA.

Perhaps I was seeing things. I thought it was mentioned somewhere above. $330 for a roof seems reasonable.

Got around to tinting the tails this weekend. About 2 coats of VHT and about 3 clear coats. Didn't want anything dark at all... more of a smoke. I think it turned out great
