Car definitely looks good. I just just cannot do the C Class wheels they make the car look like a C Class.

They used to automatically do that (shade band) on high end cars when you bought them. When did car manufacturers stop doing that? Not even an option!

I was told by my tint shop that some BIG states (Thank you, CALIFORNIA ) have recently outlawed any windshield tint, even the upper brow from an OEM. And other states (inconsistently) regulate the amount of tint that can be added to the top. Here in TX it's 5" width. So, to avoid dealing with the hassles, most importing manufacturers simply do not tint any windshield.

I also suspect that brow tinting can interfere with all the sensors/cameras being installed behind the interior RV mirror. I.e., coding electronics to work with some tint, and limited or no tint is too much of a hassle.

Awesome work on the subwoofer mate. Could you share more on how you got it done? do you have burmester audio or Audio20? Also, If you have Audio20 why didnt you put an 8'' subwoofer at the driver footwell instead?

Very nice! Is that the Selenite Grey metallic paint? Looks more blue in the pic than online. Did you have the ceramic coating done, or do it yourself? What do you think of it compared to a good wax/polish job?

Hey guys, for anyone that "blacked out" the window trim, how much did that cost you? I bought a CPO E300 2017 but it didn't have the night package, although I really want the blacked out window trim. What's the best way to go about doing that? Thanks for any insight you have.

DIY and paint it yourself for a easy cheap upgrade. Plasti Dip is a peelable paint so if you do it, mess it up or just don't like the look afterwards, just peel it off. No harm done...

Most of the after purchase blacked out window trim I've seen was done by a shop that does vinyl wraps.

What's everyone's thoughts concerning the "country ovals" that used to be around so much, on a U.S. car? I realize they're obsolete in most countries due to upgraded plates that clearly specify country, but always kinda liked them. And as my family is from Switzerland, I liked the idea of the "CH" creating discussions. But then in the South, "HH" means Hilton Head on those, so....

Anyhow, these days do you consider them cool, old-fashioned or just plain junky? This would be on the back of an E450 Wagon.

2019 E450 Wagon
I’ve got the night package on my wagon, but still had some chrome I’ve blacked out (grill surround and trim line across the back). I’ve replaced the grill with an aftermarket AMG GT / pan-americana style grill, blacked out the radar / star, whited out the rear star, de-badged the hatch, tinted the windows and sunroof, added Xpel paint protection film to the most likely rock chip areas, and IGL Kenzo ceramic coated.

I haven't seen these in a while but I never found them offensive.
