Black on black, very nice, the CF lip really adds a nice touch to the front end 
I'm not so much a fan of the flat black hood and roof on a gloss black car but to each their own.

actually, the interior has a 2-tone interior with black and grey with blackwood trick. i will take some pictures of the inside some other time as well. i need to buy some bigger shoes for the car, but waiting for the tires so i can replace them everything all at once.
i wrapped the hood, roof and trunk matte black.
i still appreciate your thoughts/opinion.

thank you fellas. the matte black on a black car is considered unorthodox, but i thought i give it a try. something different i guess. someone on this forum has a c320 i think and they did the same thing, the only difference is they have it just down the middle of the hood.

advans is exactly the person i was thinking of. my mistake, c55 not c320.
i am thinking of rims, but not sure about the lowering. i was thinking of getting low profile tires so the car sits a little lower to the ground. any thoughts?

By just doing that you're going to throw your speedo out and create more fender gap. Not advised IMO.

to clkboi: i got it done by evosport when they did the rest of my work.
to kevwood: so if i lower the car when i go bigger rims and low pro tires it will not throw my speedo out?

So to answer your question, yes, when you lower and go with a bigger wheel but lower profile tires that match the OEM circumfrances, you'll be fine.

lowpost: thanks for the complement. i like your setup of the rear bumper and exhaust. can you give me details?
kev: what would the outcome be if i do not lower the car? the reason why i ask is because of the following:
1. wife sometimes drives the car (she loves her audi, but she likes the attention in the benz). which means she will continue to drive the car once in a while
2. the front lip will be lowered to the ground. fear of damage and wont pass a car wash. i had the car wash this pass weekend and it cleared by approx 1"
3. my previous car was lowered and i know how careful one must be when driving....refer back to issue #1
will the car look weird if not dropped? i would think it will look the same since the circumference is same as stock so the clearance between the wheel and the fender will remain the same?

your car is a looker and it really needs it imo
