Thx!

Regarding your wheels, so it's not dealer installed right?
Cool, same here...won't go Windows - total garbage. Will have to play around on mine a bit more. Thanks for the tip!

I had a choice between black and Palladium Silver. I went with Palladium, recalling how difficult it was to keep my black Lexus clean. Boy was I wrong in thinking PS would be better.

I love the black and I completely understand why you switched out. Bigger grin factor and getting EVERYTHING you want is important.
100% agree...the equipment has changed the experience a bit for me - loving it so far.

Love your wheels mate! I also have the '12 magnetite black. Was thinking of flat black vinyl for the grille, window trim, doors and rear chrome parts, does anyone think this will look funny against the metallic black? Does anyone have any pics?

blacking out the entire car has been done by a few members here.. try a search for them. There are also normal W204 platforms that are blacked out too in other sections of this forum

A fully blacked out C63 looks great! very mysterious

Blacking out a car will just make it look 'ghetto' and take away all its elegance, IMHO of course.
