New to the forum...

Hey All,

I recently picked up a Black 2003 C32 with 53,000 miles. It's bone stock except for some Depo H7 projectors the previous owner installed, a 2001-2004 matte black grille, and flat amg emblem, thanks to Michael Kuzni for hookin me up.

I decided to get a 2005+ sport grille ($50 shipped on ebay woot) that I'm having painted gloss black. I also added some smoked side marker lights, and have some projector fogs waiting to be installed one of these upcoming weekends (probably going to put 3k HID's in them).

My previous car was a heavily modified 89 Taurus SHO, and while I miss the stick shift and quaife, I am definitely happy with the C32 (plans to get a quaife for it as well, eventually). I find it pretty awesome that if I drive the C32 like a grandma I can get about the same gas mileage as the taurus (both have 3.2L engines).

I'll get some pictures up here when the weather gets better and I can zaino the car.

Thanks!

@michael: Thanks, I haven't decided what wheels I want yet. Though I'm probably going to have them fully painted gloss black.

@Budget: The Depo's are ok, I haven't seen what the original frosty lights looked like (though they came with the car). I had HID's on my Taurus, can't wait to get them back on the new car.
