Help!? What mods should I do!!



What cool mods should I do. I love a factory look ..so not too tacky.
I’m thinking rims /wheels/ black roof etc....
maybe lip
spoiler..
also for tires I’m thinking about getting michelin pilot sport A/S 3+ all season anyone have any good experiences with it??!

and I’m just curious. My stock 18 in rims are 245s has anyone ran 255s on them all around????

Part of me wants to get new rims and part of me wants to just refurbish mine and powder coat them either black or dame alloy color .

What are are your thoughts !? And has anyone ever painted the factory rims black ?

First thing I would do is get rid of those God-awful double foglamps.

Also, a black roof may look cool for the color contrast aspect---but since it's not a true pano roof, be careful of how goofy and conspicuous/obvious it may look with the sunroof cutout.

You can get either of the LED DRL upgrades (either hockey stick or horizontal) that were available from 2010-2013. Those panels should be interchangeable in that location.

probably the most logical and easiest thing would be to wire it with ignition...or, if you can find a handy auto electrician, wire it to a discreet interior toggle switch.

Lol, upgrade the bulbs to LED's, the doubles are great if it's what you like.

Yeah, it'll be a considerable cosmetic/aesthetic upgrade.

Do you like the face lift tail lights? If so, that is an option.
Gloss black grill is an option if you like that, although the chrome looks good in your picture.

I just mounted 245 (F) and 265 (R), nothing outside the factory sizing so fitting is the same. Also running A/S 3, but I did it for the 70 dollar rebate, I think you got 2 days left for that promotion. Shipped, taxed, mounted for 800 including rebate. Only 200 miles on them, so can't say much about them but I've used michelin in the past and their line up is great, so no doubt these will be good.

+1 on the dash cam, and if you want to give it a try, install a clear bra yourself.

I wouldn't change much from the outside because you have an amg package, and the car looks good. Sometimes when you change too much the car starts to look cheap.

1. put oem 18'' AMG six double spoke wheels
2. put DRL - remove the fog lights
3. put LED reverse and plate bulbs, door lights and mirror lights if you have them
4. remove the side markers or paint them
5. put illuminated door sills
6. change the steering wheel for a leather/wood
7. install e500 single quad exhaust tips

I wouldn't paint the roof, first it's not white, you have a sunroof, and you don't have a grill with star in it. Simply it is still not sporty enough in my opinion.
