2009 Iridium Silver C63
Smoke Vs. Clear
I will be picking up my '09 Iridium Silver in a couple of weeks. First mod will be to get rid of the ugly amber side markers. I've kinda narrowed it down to either the clear or smoked ones as I think the painted ones make the car look like its missing some sort of option (that and I still want to have light there). I've seen pictures of the clear ones on the Iridium paint and they seem to blend in very well. Anyone have any pics of Iridium with the smoked ones? I think those might match up to the darker bi-xenons a little better. Thanks.

Yeah, I saw the pictures of the clear one and they do look good. I'm just wanting to see how the smoked ones look with that paint scheme.

Pics are a definite. And yes, it will be nice going back to the "world". No offense to our German members, but I'm definitely ready to go back to the U.S. after 3 years in Germany and 15-months in the middle east. I would have loved to have had the opportunity to drive my car on the Autobahn but I-35 will have to do
