Gonna pop the modding cherry and start having some things done. At the moment, I'm keeping things simple with just a minor black out for several parts and a muffler delete. However, I was browsing online to see if there were any new accessories available, and I saw this. What do y'all think of it?

Well the jammers are going to be in/under the grill the radar will probably be mounted right under or in the windshield housing. I'm not sure where yet but both are supposed to be top of the line units from the research that I have done and they work together so we will see... I'm hoping I can hide it.

And I dont think will fit a C450 being that our intake vents are slightly bigger than the C300 that the mod was placed on

I agree, don't treat your benz like a honda. I think MB designed it better than any third party can and I plan to keep my exterior stock unless I plan to change my wheels

And regarding to the vent accessory, I agree with y'all. Too much going on, but I just can't help but to feel the front vents are a bit naked, especially compared to the extra black gloss finish on the C63. I'm gonna go to a local 3D printer shop tomorrow and see if there's anything I can do.

I believe Brad had a few pics with the c63 black forged wheels with spacers.

Just to let everyone know that I changed out my stock summer run-flat 19" tires this morning for Pirelli Sottozero 3's that I got from TireRack. Fit like a charm. I ended up getting 225/40R19 for all 4 wheels and bought a small, portable air compressor for the trunk in case of a slow leak but I'm SOL if there's a wall break.
Took about an hour and a half for the guy to get the stock tires off and the winter ones on.

Nice review. Iam interested by the comparison with oem parts as I plan to go for oem after delivery.
I come back to the story of the ashtray cover AMG badge. I'm puzzled by the fact that this badge doesn't exist anymore on sale while it is included in the C450 in Japan (I can send videos showing it)...

I pulled the trigger on about 1500 bucks worth of al priority laser jamming gear as well as a valentine one. If there is one thing I feel I need with this car it's this. To be clear I try my hardest to obey the speed laws but it's just so damn hard with this car. And 2k for protection beats 4 or 5 speeding tickets and the hassle to get friends to fix them. I will have some videos as well as how tos and reviews up on the site next week.
here are some pics of it hard wired. barely noticeable. best radar on the market.
I have had one for 12 years. just replaced my last one, and put one in the wifes car as well. its a must have. although, I am very intrigued on the laser jammer. that might be a good idea as well. as you know when you are hit with the laser and from what direction, but that point its too late.

I disagree with V1 being the best. Having used various detectors, Escort redline is still king with bs/rdr.
V1 without custom sweeps gives too many false alerts, IMO.

i will have to say that I'm not up to speed as i used to be in the auto electronic field.
my dad has always had the passport, and i was never a fan.
I like the V1 because it tells you what direction the cop is in. on longer trips i tend to have the waze app on as well, so that gives some accurate feedback on whats ahead.
