I had my headlights baked and painted. I also had a "special" lens polish done to the inside of the headlights. I actually had this done to pat's headlights too but it doesn't show as much since his is white. it's a lens buffer polish, i actually dont know what it's called.

also, I have GLOSSED black vinyl for sale, but I can get matte, but only at a 4' width (more than enough for roofs).

Nice work Advans, it really brings out the hood lines yet remains clean looking.

IMO, get new wheels before you do it. the "car" would look so aggressive with the matte black and youre gonna be running stock 17s.

and of course, once u got matte black, u have to go chrome delete

Thats the question i ask myself every single day and i cant get an answer. I really like the AMG rims but i love rims with a deep dish and i think they would look great on the CLK.

I am thinking black with chrome lip or maybe all black if i pull off the mate vinyl

This winter i will pass though ill start rim shopping in mid. May.
I also am not trying to spend more than 2000 on rims and i think i will go with 18's instead of 19's...

Sounds like a plan. With that budget, you could definitely find some nice wheels.

Both. The ones I have now ran me around $1600 with tires, and my winter wheels ran about $2200 with tires.
