2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS 550 Diamond White
New MBworld Member...

Hi - I am a brand new member as of tonight and would like to say Thank You for allowing me to join and what an awesome resource this forum is.

I just ordered my 2013 CLS 550 4matic in Diamond White with most all options. I have been exploring a lot of the pics on here and WOW, you people have some beautiful rides.

Im most interest in opinions on window tint. I have always done all of my vehicles in 20% all over except windshield - but I am for some reason leaning that 20% may be a bit too dark on this Diamond White CLS550. I'm 40 years old and dont want it to look too dark, but I also want it to turn heads.

Secondly, I'm going to be looking for some after market wheel choices - I ordered the AMG wheel package just to have (and get the sport steering wheel) but have little intentions of keeping the AMG wheel on it.

Thanks again - I look forward to the forum.

Just wanted to officially WELCOME you to this cricket chirping forum.
Did you order with wheel plus option. AMG 5 spokes right?
Can't go wrong with too dark tint. I personally want to redo my tint to a 5 or 20.
Any other mods besides mentioned? Dropping it perhaps?

To the OP: I am hearing that the 2013 order book was closed a few weeks back. Which dealer managed to put in your 2013 order ? I heard we have to wait until the 2014 model if we want to do orders ...

htm75 -- I didn't get the plus - just the regular wheel package - got the 18" all season AMG as at first I intended to drive it year round - I've changed my mind and intend to drive it April-November so ill get a nice set of aftermarket 19's--not sure what other mod's ill do.

Cool WELCOME

Welcome! I am enjoying my CLS550 4-Matic. I can drive any where and any distance and still can't seem to employ all the features it offers! Let us know when it arrives!
