When to stop?
My CLK has been stock since new (down to the air filters), but lately, I've started to accessorize the car and have ordered several accessory items to personalize it.
The question is: When to stop?
I find myself scouring ebay and other sites looking for anything that may look good on the car. I've already ordered springs, flat hood badge, illuminated sills and can't stop looking for more
window tint
shift knob
smoked tails
painted grille
aluminum pedals
resonator removal
painted markers
wheel center caps
chrome headlight rings
sport grille
side badges
rear wing
.....we even haven't gotten into wheels and tires yet!
Madness! Where do I draw the line?

Brother your car looks great like it is. I'm probably the minority but IMOP any drastic changes to the looks is not always good. The changes you are considering, or are doing, will be fine but I wouldn't go much further. I'd say continue on but after the wheels and tires you should have it "pimped" enough.
However, nav could a plus but then again you probably don't drive it enough to benefit from it.
It's one bad azz ride!

Springs - $350 (not installed yet - more $$ for that)
Flat hood badge - $70
Illuminated sills - $150 (not installed yet - more $$ for that)
Window tint (today's job) - $200
**********
I'm already at $770, not including installation of the two items listed above. Plus, I'll need an alignment after I do the springs ($100), which I haven't factored in yet.
**********
The rest of the list is pretty basic, but could easily add another grand + depending on how fancy I decide to get
