Mods in mind..

Well my iforged rims are scheduled to arrive in a week or two so it's to look at other mods!
been thinking of:
H&R spring
KONI shocks- prices?
clk63 bumper-really want one, think i could sell my oem clk55 bumper for any $?
Kleemann tubular headers
and I was thinking of painting the chrome strips that go around the car.
any feedback on any of this?

pics of the wheels?

maybe a set of H&R sway bars to go with the springs and shocks?

i've read that the front bumper alone is somewhere around $5K but i could be wrong. i would just keep the stock bumper unless money is not a problem.

kleeman headers sound good. any aftermarket headers are better than stock.

color matching the chrome strips to what color?

19x8.5 19x10

I'm just in love with the 63 bumper
Yeah the headers are a for sure thing..but its got a price tag of 1,499.00

just black to match my car.
I think the chrome looks tacky and makes it look more like a luxury model
