Your car is looking great. To me the headlights look like black eyes - I'd lose them too.
For my money, the best appearance mod is lowering. The "Euro" OEM springs are a great solution if you want to retain the stock ride comfort.

I'm with John - the headlights do look like black eyes! Perhaps you could disassemble them, and paint the inner housing, body colour matched. Then you could retain the projector look. Do you have HIDs in there?

I dont have HID's in there yet because I havent figured out what to do yet... Your body color idea is kinda interesting though... First I need to fix the cruise control and AC.

LET C32 2002
Just picked up a '99 c43 with 97k.
I'm stoked on the car - gonna be a lot of fun.
As you can see it has some ebay mods that I am NOT crazy about. I look forward to returning it back to stock or at least modding it to actually look like a benz. The tint is fine. The lights.. idk. The wheels well they look OK-ish but don't match the character of the car. The grill is tacky to me. What y'all think?
