Photoshop action! I thought I'd like it more than I do actually. I'm not blown away here.............

Trying to figure out some things to do to it.

Do the tint first, then drop it if you are going to get some rims.

as much as I'd like to have those blinker mirrors, It'd be a little overkill to have them with the side markers..........UNLESS.... I wired the side markers to be on with the parking lights.

wonder how that'd look............ I had it done on my BMW and it worked out.

Lowered yes! always!
Tinted no!

Tinted windows always make me think the driver´s a drug dealer or has something to hide... with such a nice car, why hide your face?

I would say yes to lowered but no tint. Our MB have blue pre-tinted windows, why would you want to lose that.

Tint and lowered, but that low is a bit much. The car looks great with about a 1.5-2" drop, anything beyond that and you're going to deal with scraping, terrible ride quality, and declining handling depending upon the rest of your suspension setup.

i know i said i would take a pic with your rim type but broke my foot and chillin inside the house so here it is lowered and tinted, same color as yours but with the 20s. I would strongly recommend lowered for sure ... tints are usually personal preference but i think it looks good with silver and plus it does help with the sun block. Those leather seats can get hot, tints help out.

Yo Morelli, nice rims, man. Our W208 CLKs are real hard to shop for when it comes to rims, but the ones you got fit the car perfectly.

The tint goes without saying.

I know you'd be rollin' without that front license plate if you weren't living in LA, you know? In OC, they're a little more lax in that regard.

Once again, sweet ride.
