Hi guys, my name is Eric. I've recently purchased my first Benz ever! I got it back in August so it's been a little over a month of owning it. So far...I love it! It's a great car, drives really nice although not as stiff or sporty as I would have liked (coming from bimmer). Anyways, it's a 2013 W204 C350 4Matic. No idea what package it is as there are some things from the AMG and sport package, but not other things. I've done some things to it already because the stock look just wasn't doing it for me.

Some pictures:


First thing I did was tint, couldn't stand the sun shining through all the time and the clear windows haha



Second thing I did was the single fin grille with gloss black frame.



Third thing I did was the diffuser. Couldn't stand the stock one and it took me quite a while to find this one actually. Also was a PITA to install haha, had to think of a way to make a bracket that would fit.



And then the wheels. The C63 rims are pretty rashed up but I got them for a super good deal and I'm using them as winters anyways, so I don't really mind the rashes.

I also bought smoked sidemarkers at first, but then I didn't like it and went with clear ones.

I'll try and take better pictures sooner or later but I suck at taking pictures, so it might be a while haha.

Future plans I have for the car are the carbon fibre Vorsteiner style 2 trunk lip (much like the Renntech C74 trunk lip), carbon fibre roof spoiler, carbon fibre mirror caps, carbon fibre front lip, round exhaust tips and some exhaust mods, and a set of summer wheels.

I fell in love with the Y 5 spoke wheels when I saw them so I'm planning on either the Avant Garde M580 or Verde Axis V99. Although I'm still trying to work out fitment right now, trying to go for a very flush look and maybe a TINY bit of poke at the front without any rub, and without rolling (any wisdom/advise would be appreciated as I've been having trouble researching).

Anyways, hope I get to know some of you soon!

 

Welcome nice looking ride

 

Welcome to MBWorld. Looks like you've got a great start on modding her and a solid plan! Let us know if lighting is on the radar for future upgrades as well, interior and exterior

 

welcome aboard...

 

Beautiful! What % tint? Have you had any trouble with the law? I'm in MN and 50% is the limit here, unless you have a prescription.

 

Haha I'm actually interested in your 1156 led brake lights, but you're always sold out ): also would your 5led strips directly replace the oe ones? And do you have 6000k d1s bulbs? The ones i got have a disappointing amount of light output haha.

 

28% all around, where I live I'm actually not allowed to have any film on the front windows, even clear film, but I actually find that if your car is clean, tasteful and not super ricy and you don't drive like a butthole, the cops will leave you alone. Although a lot of the cops in my city are also car enthusiasts. As for me personally I have not had any trouble with the law.

The LED strip is not a direct replacement for OE. They're for people who don't have and want to retrofit.

 

Awesome thanks man!

 

I'm thinking it's the same way here in MN.. trying to find the line between looking nice/looking suspicious

 

Welcome to MBWorld, Eric! Looks like some very tasteful mods so far. If you ever need anything be sure to let me know and enjoy your time here.
