So I finally got around to registering on here. I love this site, it has helped me a lot over the past almost a year with my car, so I figured I could jump on here and share my passion with others. Here are a couple of pics of my car for now.
I am planning to replace the vinyl on the roof with actual paint...going in for it in about a week. Planning to black out the headlight housings, replace the grill with a gloss black grill (haven't decided on the style yet), and do a number of other things.
Thanks for looking.

Welcome to MBWorld. Wrapped roof is ok when new, but over time degrades. Paint is definitely the way to go though.
Let us know if we can help you out with some whiter lighting, LED and HIDs. Goes a long way towards upgrading the visual aesthetics and performance

Thanks for the warm welcome! I actually hired someone to do the vinyl and it didn't look quite right to me, so I'm getting it painted instead. I am planning to swap out the front turn signal bulbs for amber led bulbs once the headlights are blacked out. What options do you have for that AZN? I have upgraded the low beams to hid 6000k, but am thinking about going up to around 8 or 10...just want a little more blue in it, but not a ton. What are my options for the high beams? I know with the normal (non-projector) lighting, it is not a good idea to go hid, but what are other ways to get better lighting for the highs, in terms of color? Thanks in advance!

High beams also use the same H7 as your low beam. You can go HID as well, but only recommended if you run them to illuminate the road as opposed to quick flash people in front of you due to warming up cycle. And for high beams, doesn't really matter as much for projectors because they're designed to be aimed high anyways, utilized when there's no one in front of you. We're authorized distributors of high end Morimoto HID kits.
