Give me some advice! 94 w124
Hey guys i got a couple questions any help would be appreciated.
1. Will the 1994 E320 W124 sedan allow for a roof rack? If so, can you point me in the right direction?
2. Should i go for lower springs and shocks or coilovers?
3. Im getting a new bumper, either amg style or c36 style should i paint it to match the lower color of my car or plasti-dip all the lower pieces and bumpers black?
Thanks for looking!

1) Yes, the kind that hooks into the top of the door-frames and requires the doors to be closed on it.
2) So, you're certain you're willing to deal with the nasty things that come with a lowered car? If so, I'd wager that the shock/spring combos are of more... certain quality than the little-known/tested w124 coil-over sets.
3) Aesthetics are subjective. I've seen plenty of two-tones I love, and plenty of monotones I love as well. Do whatever pleases you more

I would paint all the lower pieces black, my preference.
Let us know where you are going to buy the new bumper from (amg or c36 style). I'm looking to get one too, and I need the clear fog lamp lenses that come with it too.

I think I'm getting the bumper from myhotmercedes.com In just not positive if they come with the lower fog light inserts. I'm just hoping fitment is good.

I WOULD AVOID MYHOTMERCEDES.COM
or at least do some google searches including the words "review" and "myhotmercedes.com" so you are familiar with their history before sending them money. like this link.
And I think painted/matching lowers make these cars blend in in the modern look world a little better. I have both, prefer matching but truly is personal preference...these are older cars...metal and paint.
