Hello everyone, im new to this forum and I was hoping people would help me decide what mods I could add to my new Benz.
I'm most definitely planning on getting tint on my car, I was hoping to find someone on this forum who has the same type of car as mine and hopefully show me picks of their cars with mods to it so I can get ideas. I need to decide what percentage tint i should get on my car, also I was planning on getting black rims, so if you know any places/sites/people that could help me out in customizing my car,(even tips on what type of exhaust to get and such) it would be greatly appreciated. Here is a couple picks of my new car..

Where are you located?

OzJ -> RE: Just bought 07 c230 sport, need opinions.. (12/8/2006 4:23:45 PM)

I'm located in the Inland Empire, near Riverside and Sanbernardino.

Congrats on the purchase, it looks really nice...for tint i'd say 25-30% all around minus the front since it's illegal to tint the windshield. As for the rims...you can check out TWS over in Walnut and ask for Sander, he's knows a lot about wheels and could probably give you other ideas, I highly recommend seeing him.

nice car. there are so many things to do with your car to set it apart from the others. its all just personal opinion. rims are a must and tinting your windows always looks good. for a nice and clean look you can always strip off all your emblems. rockers and sport bumpers look great too. whatever you do keep it clean and DO NOT let bird crap sit on it for a long time or tree saap. i hope this helps. i sell protection for rock chips and bumpers so pm me if you want to. im in palo alto

Oz-
Congrats on your purchase! I have the Iridium Silver 07 C230SS and have already done 20% tint all the way around, had the dealer debadge the trunklid and I just ordered a sport grille and flat hood emblem from K1 Motorsport. I haven't taken any pics yet b/c I want to wait till I install the grille and hood ornament. I'm also ordering a set of Mandrus Regenmeister 18" staggered wheels and H&R springs along with larger diameter sway bars. If you want to check out the wheels go to Mandrus Wheels website, then go to the showroom and select C-Class. They're all the way at the bottom. For black wheels look on Tire rack at the O.Z.'s. I forget the model name but they have a set of reasonably priced wheels that would look nice. Also, consider taking your grille and trunk emblem into a body shop and having them paint matched to your car and get rid of the stock hood star with the flat hood ornament. All black w/black wheels and a blacked out grille and trunk emblem...NICE! Also consider some clear corner lenses from DEPO and maybe see about getting the taillights lightly smoked. Once I get all the goodies on my car I'll post pics. Good luck.

as mentioned above- take the c230 off the trunk. let the car sit outside in the sun (if it's warm where you are)- if not heat it up with a hair dryer. then use some floss- something like a "saw" and "saw" through the adhesive. do it very slowly and you should be able to get most of the adhesive off by hand. there will still be a little outline around where the numbers were. use a little wax and it should take that right off. that's the first mod i do to every car i own.

Once you get rid of the trunk badging go for the sport grille and flat hood emblem. They take all of about 10 minutes to install and look great. I think it took me longer to unwrap everything than it did to install it. I'll post some pics in my photo gallery tonight (RJc230).
