go back to stock - that looks like some cheap off brand slapped on, it doesn't look like it belongs on the car

Definetly I love your car and that looks horrible. Reminds me of the old 94 blazers and z28 hick camaro's with the pep boys tint. If you are going to do it do it like the SL55/SL65

LOL

The smoke lights looked good on the ML and may look good on a darker C32. I think it looks kinda cheap on a silver C32. Everything else about you car looks perfect! Whatever you like though...it's yours

Speaking of COps harrasing people.
A boston police was really a son of a b*tch and pulled me over for having white blinkers....
He said my head lights are blue...ILLEGAL
White directionals....ILLEGAL.
I was driving with my cat on my lap.(y'kno...just want my cat to enjoy the AMG with me...)...officer said he could charge me another 100 for the cat...and i was like wtf....he said it was for safety reason..NO CATS ON LAPS!

He said he;d give me a break and wrote only defective blinkers for 70 bucks...but one thing that is gonna kill me is the insruance...its gonna raise 400-500 bucks...and in MA...defective lights...is a MOVING VIOLATION! arghhhhhhh

I don't think it looks bad at all. Do what you think looks nice. Everyone has their own opinions. If you're going to redo it, leave the signal/reverse part clear like this: (not my car)
