Some mods for the C43
I've had the car for about 24 hours, so of course it's time to start modding it.

First up I have smoked corners, AMG door pins and flat hood emblem already on the way.

Next week the audio goes in (navi, subs, amps).

I also came across some "Euro" tail lights for sale on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...ayphotohosting

Anyone have these, or have some pics of them installed? I thought they might look good on a black car, but I don't want to look ricey at all.

After this stuff I might do the RennTech ECU flash and airbox upgrade.

What do you guys think?

LOL that would be hot, but it sounds like a bit of a project.

Those lights are NOT an improvement BTW - they look cheaply made.

No it's not a big project. Just leave it in the hands of Kleemann USA! The rest is just pure bliss after they install a s/c. Just read the sig!

Take 4.3 out,put 5.5L in,then add S/c if you want it.Engine swap is straight forward.
