After I tinted the windows I went and got my taillights tinted also. Took a bunch of pictures of the job. I ended up getting them sprayed and not the film. Also they blacked out the orange side markers in the front.

Got some more pictures uploaded to share. The car didn't come with the appearance package 2 so no HID lights for me... Ended up getting 55W 4300K HID installed. I don't have a picture of it yet but I put in LED bulbs for the day time running lights because the original halogen bulb didn't match the HIDS. Also getting the Black Mesh Matt Grill installed with the chrome Benz sign. Ill put a pic up the grill also soon.

Car looks great man, I think i actually graduated XHS with you...small world haha. I have a similar set up on my E sedan, I went with the tint on my rear lights but been debating doing them over with the spray cause I want to get them even darker, how do you like em? Also hows the painted grill holding up w/ rock chips and stuff? Its the last thing I've been holding off on doing but it definitely makes a huge difference.

Thanks man and yeah I remember you I looked up your name. I brought mine to 212 motoring for the lights and I think it came out awesome. The grill isn't painted its actually from 55tech.com the flat black mesh grill.

cool man, yeah they have great stuff. I might head over to 212 soon and see about getting the LEDs tinted and the surrounds blacked out, this stuff gets addictive after a while lol. Did you black out any of your chrome trim, its a small mod but it makes a hugee difference.

No I haven't blacked any chrome out. I'm not going for the fully blacked out look because I like having some chrome accents on the car to keep the luxury of it there. Thinking about maybe blacking the rims out though maybe...

E350 Coupe
This is just my opinion but, I think blacked out wheels make your car look like a taxi/police car. Since your going to leave some chrome I personally think a wheel that's black but highlighted with silver would be perfect. This is a OEM MB wheel. I'm not totally sold on this exact wheel but it will give you the idea. Price for this wheel is $1700.00 for four (staggered sizes). Your cabrio is looking great. My coupe is also black!

Yea if I were to change the rims I would get black with a chrome lip or some sort of chrome accent on them. I doubt I'm going to change them though because I payed extra for the AMG rims so might as well keep them on plus I love how these rims look on the car.
