Few questions about my new E350 Coupe
Just picked up a 2012 E350 coupe. Black on black with p1. Was thinking about doing a few things to it, but I'm not sure if the parts for the 2010-2011 body will be a fit. Nothing serious, just wanted the spoiler for the trunk and a matte black grill. Also, I've been looking but haven't had any luck finding LED DRL's that wouldn't give me an error message. Any input would be appreciated.

Congratulations on the new car hope you're enjoying it, the spoiler and grill will fit. LEDs, there are a few places that you can get them from...

If you're running a 2012 model I thought you should already have the straight bar LED DRLs?

Thanks for the help.
You're right about the LED's. For some reason I thought they weren't standard on the P1 and I didn't notice until this morning that they were running.
One more question: is the blue efficiency badge nailed in or can I just debadge it with a heat gun?

Thank you. I'm going to go ahead and do all that once the grill and spoiler come in.
I think I also want to black out the silver strips, but not too sure that I want to paint them. Anyone know if there is a pre-cut vinyl alternative or would I have to get that made?

Congratulations. I know you'll have many enjoyable miles ahead.
Please post pix when you've completed your planned mods. Would like to see what it looks like.

Just put the grill in today. Will put up some pics tomorrow. Still haven't found a spoiler. I'm not too crazy about the stock Mercedes one and the Euro styles one's I'm seeing online are close to $500, which I don't think is worth it since the car is leased. Can anyone point me somewhere with spoilers other than the stock one that are a little more affordable?

Dunnyy: Does your car come with a 6 disk CD changer? I was trying to get a P1 option from several dearlers in CA but none was available. All offered the S01 (Launch edition without the CD changer).

@mpalsal just checked and my car didn't come with the changer. I don't see how it can be a problem as there are so many more options for music (all which reduce the clutter of having a bunch of physical CD's in the car).
Here's a picture of the grille I put in:

I really like it. Only thing missing now is the roof/trunk spoiler and maybe a 20% or 35% tint.

E350
I just bought the e350 coupe and i hate the chrome body lines throughout the body and the fog lights that it came with, is there a supplier that makes a retrofit plug and play DRL like the one here?

If your talking about the thin chrome strips that run along the lower sides they can be removed just like the emblems. There are mounted with adhesive. If your talking about the trim around the side windows there have been owners that have had them covered with vinyl but I don't think anyone makes a precut kit. Congrats on your Coupe...I know you will enjoy it!
