I had my local shop smoke my side markers when they tinted my windows (they did it for free)....if you add tint, maybe your shop will do it for you.

Nice, all black W212's look very sinister and good, and this is coming from someone who usually doesn't like the "murdered out" look at all.
I'd definitely do the front markers as well, and I think the red contrast from the taillights works with the all black, but if you needed to do something back there, maybe some extremely subtle darkening of the red portion (so that it's still red, but darker), or white portion, etc.
Also, I'm a fan of tasteful chrome, so I vote to keep the rear Star chrome (also I think it has a great popping presence on your ride). Also, i personally think that these cars look much better and classier with the aluminum trim around the green-house.
Enjoy!

Agreed. I'd also leave the hood ornament as is too. Would pop out nicely.

Simply "Bad ***" and really dig the wheels. The front markers definitely have to go, but I would go clear to compliment the headlights / fog lights. Also agree about a hint of chrome being left on the car...front and rear Stars would be subtle enough not to through off the whole blacked out look.
Killer car!

Nice! Can't wait to see the drop. Been waiting for someone to blacken out the stock grille and take care of the chrome on sides and windows. Now just need to see how the drop brings it all together. Keep it coming.

Yes. It's on airmatic suspension, so the drop was done without springs. I think your springs will be just right. Here's a shot of a coupe with the same springs you're getting (i think). Must be in high demand.
Probably can't see it, but the tails and side markers are smoked.

Thanks for the pic! Personally I am not a fan of smoked anything. I love the Euro Red and White look. But to each his own. Cannot ever argue about styles, as we all see things differently. Variety is what makes life fun. I've seen my buddy's E63 /with 20s and H&R sport and it looks very very nice. So here is the message to TireRack: GET THE DAMN SPRINGS IN STOCK FAST!!!
