Arrow ::... These mods are the *****! .....::

Just got myself a '99 CLK convertible. I know everything there is about BMW but this is 1st time w/ a Mercedes.

please respond if you know any places on the web or in Southern Calif.

I am looking to do the following mods.
(how much, places to get it?)

custom grill w/ benz star in middle

take off benz emblem, and get flat benz emblem

paint side moldings

replace yellow bulbs w/ clear white bulbs- like silvervisions for the front

replace yellow plastic corner light, w/ clear corners

Wind deflector

thanks for your the help!:p

chill out bro... you posted it less than an hour ago. while most teenage bimmer fans don't need to work and hang out on chat rooms all day, us MB owners do work....

but to answer your questions in order....

1.) PerformanceProducts.com
2.) Evosport
3.) Any Bodyshop/Paintshop
4.) Evosport
5.) No clear corners, but you can get painted ones from Evosport, OR order solid impact strips from the dealer
6.) If for your sunroof, I don't recommend... looks bad

Go to Home Depot and buy the Rustoleoum high heat silver spray paint for some DIY "Silvervisions". Make a tray from cardboard to get the bulbs to stand up and make a few light passes with spray paint over 4 "sides" and the top.

Well, I've been on quite a few forums and these Benz forums are the least active. BMW forums are always lively. Not complaining, just pointing something out. It has nothing to do with teenagers.

Anyway, congrats on your new purchase!

PS Congrats on the new wheels!
