4 wheeled car.
Honestly? Get rid of the replica AMG wheels, the cheap chrome rings on the headlights and taillights, and the tacky grill.
Instead, lower the car, invest in some slightly more expensive custom forged wheels, flat hood badge, white out the sidemarkers, tint the windows, call it a day.
Can you show more pics of the exhaust tips, I'm curious to see how it looks from behind?

This's all my opinions. As long as you're happy with your car's look, that's all mater.
Btw, just read further and saw that you're 18, just got the car as graduation gift. This explains it all
. As you get older, your taste for car mod would growth as well. Throw away all of those eBay stuffs, keep the wheels if you want to, and all will be good. Congrat on your graduation.

I think it looks pretty good.
I think you guys are being a little harsh. I don't think it looks too pimped out and on a white E, the add-ons actually work for me. Don't think it would look so hot on a darker colored E. Also, for SoCal, this car fits right in. I'd have been a happy camper cruising around on your wheels when I was 18.

Thanks for the advice. The problem is the car already had all the ebay crap on it. From the start I had an issue with it so I just wanted to see what real mercedes fanatics would say. Now that that's said, any advice on how to get it off (chrome trimmings).

I happen to like the rims you have. I have those on mine too (18s with Michelin Pilots from the dealer), and I saved a ton of money getting those over the AMG Package for rims/tires. The cost saving was well worth it, given the ony real visible difference I think is the plain star centerpiece. Looks good.

Looks like you got some nasty comments...
I think the grill looks really nice on your car. Good taste.
Headlight/taillight rings...eh, not my favorite, but not awful.
18"+ wheels would look slick.
Lowering would be nice too.
PS, I really like the grill on your white car!

Ouch! I'm not asking for suggestions from these guys!
I like the chrome head lamp rings. I think the space around the headlights looks... "unfinished" without the rings.
I'd stick with the original grill.. and remove the tail light chrome. Everything else is ok IMO.
