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!

Welcome aboard and congrats on your order!

We'd love to assist you in getting a set of wheels built for it. We'll be posting a few CLS' this upcoming week, you're going to love them!

Rob -- I love the look of the Autobahn MB8 in a 19" -- would love to see pics of something like those on a diamond white CLS550 ??
