* Upgraded to Smoke Tails (Pics) *

Hey guys,

upgraded to smoked tails today as well. I really like these more than the stock OEM ones. They look more modern and really helped the car look much younger than it is. They were a pretty good fit (I'd say about 95% vs. the OEMs 100%).

They came with all the necessary hardware and were a breeze to install even without instructions, once you take the stock ones apart you get out it all works. I highly recommend these over any other ones I've seen on ebay, some of the ones (LED & etc) just don't look very german or OEM, they look way too ricerish.

Its very hard to get accurate color representation on the crystal tails (they just don't photo as well as in real life for some reason) but they look even better in person. once you see them in person you will never go back to stock.

Anyways... pics

it might be cooler if all 4 of your recent mod threads were just one? that way it's easier to search through the forum for useful tech info?

I agree, I thought I was posting to many threads. It seems like he posts a new thread for every little he does. New Thread: "Hey I washed my car today" Just kidding Dr. 36, but silence is right.

Btw, I love that roof in your home. That is so nice!

b/c I did them all at different times, they are just recent and people are responding to them so it looks like they are all at once.

opinion noted...

hey guys,

drove the car last night... the tail lights look EVEN better at night. I think thats the biggest difference between the stock tails and these smoked clear ones, at night time it totally transforms the back end of the car an makes it look a lot newer. I highly recommend getting these tails.

That is the stock AMG exhaust on a C36. They had square tips where as we have oval tips.
