2009 Mercedes-Benz C300 Luxury
2009 C300 Project !

Hi, guys ! I have a 2009 C300 4matic Luxury. Recently I was thinking about switching to a SUV , but at the end I decided to stick with my C Class. Thats why I want to do few exterior and interior upgrades. I would love to have your help with suggestions and experience.

Here is a list of what I intend to upgrade :
- Headlights
- Brakes
- Calipers
- Wheels
- Paint job and windows tinting
- Android Head Unit
- Seat conversion ( if possible )

HEADLIGHTS - https://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-2011-B...RamOYP&vxp=mtr
I saw the Thread about those and really like them, Just wanted to know if Ebay is the best way to get them, If there is an alternative way , please let me know.

BRAKES - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Disc-Brake-...NZSjvK&vxp=mtr
I really want to put drilled brakes on my car so I read in one of the Threads about those... I can only find Fronts though... If anyone can find me Rears would be great. Also wanted to ask if anyone who uses them if he/she noticed the brakes being loud and noisy. Thanks !

CALIPERS - https://www.ebay.com/itm/Engineering...lZlGoi&vxp=mtr
Any comments about those ?

WHEELS - I want to find AMG Style 18/19 Inch Wheels - entirely black or at least black and grey finish
https://www.ebay.com/itm/252805088550?ul_noapp=true
Those or similar. Just not sure if those fit my car... I am open for suggestions..

PAINT JOB - I have some minor scratches all over so I`d probably polish the whole car and paint it.
I also will TINT the windows

ANDROID HEAD UNIT - I am following the discussion about the 10.25 Inch Head unit but I really don`t like the Specifications of the unit so I`d probably go for an 8" one..

Anyone who has or had this unit please tell experience. And also which of them all websites with Units is the best in your opinion ?

SEAT CONVERSION - I have a dark blue colored seats which are not my favorite so I wanted to know where I can find sets of seats. My other idea is to use different seats ... so I wanted to ask you if any other model`s seat fit our car ? If there a possibility of adding a ventilated seats ?

I`d appreciate any opinions, suggestions and etc. I will start posting photos with the upgrades. Thanks !

Man, that is quite a list for a 9 year old car. Could believe that could be $7K-$8K of work minimum. Have to ask, why spend that much on a 9 year old car instead of getting a differnt newer C Class, like maybe a C350? Certainly up to you though.

Oh, you are relatively close. I am in Milwaukee.

I will probably be putting them for sale soon, including an amg diffuser, e63 tips, eurocharged tune, the wheels, etc.

It's a lot of stuff but really it will be a really good deal, if you're looking for some nice upgrades both inside and out the car.
