2013 E350 4matic
Cool new 2013 E350 coming this weekend!

hi all! i'm very excited to take delivery of my new E350 4MATIC this coming Saturday.

question.. what should i do first?!

i'm thinking about doing a clear bra installation first and foremost.. then move onto replacing the front orange little lights on the bumper to clear. any tips or suggestions? where to get the lights?

and how about changing interior lights to LEDs... worth it?

yay!!

Alamo - I miss living in Alamo.... but things are very different now I bet!

I've got LED's in my truck but don't prefer them in my E350. I think it's due to the fact that we've got some pretty cool mood lights in the dash and door panels. I'd hate to wash them out

Clear bra for sure, then depending on the color of your car switch the side marker lights from the orange to either clear or blacked out.

Alamo's a nice quiet town..

congrats and welcome aboard ! the next day and a half will be the longest in your lifetime .

the very first thing is inspect the baby in and out before taking the keys and/or sign any papers. don't expect a brand new car is spotless, ding-free even it should've. clear bra, side markers, led lights, wheels, etc. those are something you can do after you enjoy the ride back home. take the longer route and try not to smile too much. i know it's the toughest one, though . as for the add-ons or swaps, take her back home and see if you want to do anything first. then do a few searches on this forum. you'll find tons of useful info and hundreds or even thousands of very knowledgeable and friendly members are more than happy to help .

now go get some sleeping pills! i know you won't be able to sleep for the next couple of days .

Exactly what he said , I mean the intro and his useful suggestions

Congrats ans happy safe driving
You may buy some useful extras here you are , these things help me organize the trunk and keep it clean as just out of factory




Happy safe driving

It just dawned on me that you can also buy chrome , carbon accessories such as mirror covers,spoilers for your upcoming ride

. I picked mine up today! I'm still too excited for it to sink in. Yes, I went with the factory installed (body colored) spoiler...no roof spoiler. Are you picking yours up tomorrow?
