Pix request... lights and grill upgrade
Does anyone have pix of our car with the CL type grill and flush ornament, it looks great on the E class wonder if it'll look just as good on the S
Also, would like to change out the "city lights" in the corner lamp to match with the headlights, LED are probably too white and bright wanna see what everyone is using.
One more thing... white car with clear front bumper markers.
Those are all on my to buy list but gotta make sure it doesn't turn into an import looking car

Here you go. This is my car with the clear side marker w/led, and led city light,and flat hood star emblem.I dont thing the CL style grill looks good on our car's? IMO I also included a pic of the facelift tail lights too. I also have the same led bulbs for the license plate light.

I think those might be too white comparing to the stock 4300k headlights, too much contrast. I remember reading another post that you have 6000k in your car? Does that help match the LED better? I guess I don't have much of a choice, it's better than the stock halogen. I think clear looks better on white.
The facelight tail light looks nice at night but I'm not feeling it in the daytime. Color coded strip looks good the way it is IMO.

Thanks for the pix, I think the grill looks good either way. I think I'm gonna do the more obvious first, the grill is optional. I ordered the ghost links today. I'm debating if another $900 bucks for front/rear KMac camber kits are worth it. Do you have them? I did a search and it doesn't seem like anyone on here have them.

how's your tire wear? I have a caster problem, I might start with just the front camber kit since it lets me adjust caster as well. Skip the rear for now.

The tire wear in front is perfectly fine.The rear has a slight uneven wear,but nothing crazy.I don't think you need it for the front.If anything get the rear kit since the rear slants in a lot more? My front tires have a perfectly even wear as if the car is at stock height compared to the rear tires.

going off topic here...
do you have hub centric rings on your rims? I called the shop that did the balancing and alignment told that I'm still experiencing bumbs on my seats as if the rears aren't balance. They recommend getting hub centric rings to solve the problem which I'm having doubts, why only the rears?

I don't have hub rings. If your wheels are custom built it shouldn't be using hub rings. Because those wheels were suppose to be built specifically for your car? I may be wrong.
