2015 CLS400
First Benz

Hi Guys,
My name is Peyt
I live in Southern California. I purchased a 2015 CLS400 (my first Benz) about 10 days ago. I stumbled upon this site while looking for ideas to tune up the exterior looks of my car. Looking to learn from you all.
Peace.

Here is what it looks like now... All I have done so far (last 10 days) is dipped the wheels and tinted the windows. The reason I did not powder the wheels was because this is a leased car, so I can easily take off the plasti-dip in 3 years before returning the car. Also, I sort of was not sure at that time if I am gonna like the black wheels so I figured with plasti-dip if I did not like it, it comes off real easy.

Here is a couple of more shots of what it looks like now in the day light.
Now here is what I am trying to make a decision on: Do I black out the rest of the car or just leave it the way it is?
Also, if I do decide to black it out, do I replace the front grill with a black one or just plasti-dip and see what it looks like first? and do I remove the front chrome spoiler lip on the bottom or keep it and black it out(it can get annoying when parking the car because the chrome lip on the bottom can hit stuff real easy)

So I wanted to get some impute and ideas on this from you guys, ... I am also considering getting a clear bra but not sure if that's smart to do on a leased car...

Any other ideas that you think make the car look cool without issues with lease return are appreciated. thanks
