Newbie Cosmetic Mod Question/Opinions?
Hey Friends,
So I just got my black on black '12 C63...
Right off the bat, I am tempted to order and change the orange front side markers.. My question is, is there a certain brand or type that is better than the other? i see some on eBay (well, that the only place i see them) going anywhere btwn $50-$60... Smoked, white, or LED. I'm still brand new to this car and Benz, so I dont want to end up putting some P.O.S markers on...
Or maybe I should just leave it alone??
Lastly, any other simple cosmetic mods that you could suggest would be awesome... Thanks!

Depo ones are pretty good. I just bought a set of smoked ones for my C63 yesterday on eBay. I ordered a clear set off of eBay for my C350 (see sig) and they worked out really well. Not too sure about the LED's, if you like that look you can give it a shot.
Not much is out for the 2012's yet, I'd hold tight for a few months until there are a few choices out there. LED license plate lights seem to be quite popular. But with the backup camera, it already looks pretty bright to me. Wheels would be the next step if you want to set yourself apart or you could vinyl the chrome trim to make it more "stealth".

Thanks for the feedback, those wheels turned out great and I even got some pics on the Work Wheels USA site haha.
I hear ya, I've been smitten ever since I picked up the C63, such a blast to drive even during break in...I can't imagine the giant grin I'm going to have once I'm past 1,500km.
