How much is too much?
I bought the red striping to put on my rims but found the red center-caps and ended up using them instead (which I like better). I was left with about 30ft of this red striping and got a little ambitious with it.

Since you asked, take the stripes off the front and back. That was too much.

The pictures look overly contrasty so I assume they probably look a bit better in person. Since you have the center caps it might be too much to add a strip to the side mirrors as those are accented on the Edition 1s. Might still look good though.

In other words, all black with a little red always brings some POP to the overall picture, but less can be more as well.
Not to mention, except my smoked out headlamps and stock black wheels - but without the dual silver 5-spokes + silver wheel outline painted to make an all black wheel - my C450 is pretty much identical........to include the lowering (which this one seems to have been).
Translation? I would not mind if mine look like this, though I'm thinking gunmetal Vossen CV3Rs to give the look of the pic I've uploaded below (not mine; this one is still @ stock ride height).
And I'll bet - OU8one2 - if you go to Athens, GA, home other of Georgia Bulldogs, you'll see at least one that looks like yours.
Hunker down you hairy Dawg!! .
Good work!

This is my car with some red accents.
I am thinking of changing to a c63 rear diffuser and exhaust and i've seen one on ebay with red stripe instead of the chrome..it looks good.
Last photo is from instagram..different color and a c63 coupe but i think it blends in very nice.
What do you think?

You're good, though I probably lean towards Mike5215........looking for more places might be overkill.
