Just wanted to take a minute and introduce myself. My name is Jason and I live in Downingtown, PA about 30 miles SE of Philadelphia.

I'm new to the forum, as well as owning a Mercedes. Over this past weekend I picked up an Arctic White 2012 C300 Luxury 4Matic for my wife.

However, I'm not new to Daimler-Chrysler-Fiat-Dodge-whatever. I previously owned a 2006 300C SRT8 with bolt-ons and tune. As well as a 2006 Magnum R/T with 3.73 getrag, SRT brembo brakes, heads, cam, tune, etc...

My current DD is a 2014 Ram 1500 Black Express Edition.

First mods/fixes for the C300 are as follows:

1. Tint
2. Front bumper repair (delete front license plate holder)
3. Dipping the wheels (Kustom Koatingz in Philly? Open to suggestions)

Welcome to MBWorld Jason! Great first steps giving her a much sportier look over the original luxury grille and hood badge. Bumper plugs are a great and easy solution to that unsightly front plate
