Show and Go!!
Guys, I've been "Ebay-ing" it lately and have incidently seen a bunch of stuff for autos in general and some specific to the E class (W211). I was wondering what you guys thought of the following... I'm kicking some stuff around.. and just wanted a "2nd opinion."
* tail-light chrome surround: Is this overdoing it? Esp with the chrome door handle protector and front headlight rings? I do not have chrome wheels.
* Illum Door sills: I am GOING to get this. Install PROBALLY needs to be done by the dealer.. don't know if I can mess with it myself. Anyone install their own?
* Carbon Fiber door pillars: They look neat.. and with my replacement car being Obs. Black.. would probably be subtle yet nice. Or do you think it's a "Rice"look? THey have Brabus or AMG "badges" that go into the pillar. But again... ghetto?
Thanks for your feedback guys.

Headlamp rings....yes
Taillamp rings....no
Carbon Fiber....Not on an E
AMG badges....its a matter of personal choice....the purists would vote no, but I figure if i'M paying for it.....they don't have a say unless they want to buy the car for me.
Illuminated Door Sills....yes if they're not the cheap imitations.
