C43 Year-End Update
Took my car to a friend's place to have it detailed and photographed. Man does it look like a million bucks!
Album link (too many pictures to post here).
Also, I put in LED tails the other day (same ones thepinoc has). No bulb out light (came with resistors). LEDs are bright as hell! Looks real clean. I will probably do a clear Plasti-Dip coat on top of them followed by a thin coat of VHT Niteshade. I'll leave the horizontal portion where the turn signal/reverse lights are untouched; I think that'd look pretty cool.
Some of the things I've done this year:
Plans for next year:

Some of the things I've done this year:
- Interior/exterior LED conversion
- Gen V AMG wheels
- Tranny filter/fluid changed
- Replaced R24 relay
Plans for next year:
- Slotted rotors (and new pads, of course)
- Stainless steel brake lines
- HIDs
- H&R sway bars
- Install H&R springs (and get an alignment, of course)

Thanks! I'll take some more when it warms up for a day.
In case you were wondering, we used Meguiar's Ultimate Compound, Meguiar's Polish, and Eagle One Nanowax. Applied the compound and polish via an orbital buffer.
Thanks! Yes, I plan to throw the H&Rs in at the end of winter.
