hey thanks for the help everyone and as for doing all those mods. the lowering springs for sure but i think i would wait until i get my rims to lower the car cuz right now with the stock rims it would look nasty lowered. as for the bi-xenon. mercedes doesn't make as nice as xenon lights as say bmw so i rather not spend that much on lights and get fake HIDS for like $40. i dont think i would black out the chrome surroundings around the windows cuz most of the car has chrome surroundings it would look weird with it black. if i black out the grill then yeah for sure i would black out the rest of the chrome. Chrome wheels are a must but i want quality rims. i baught the 48g car, might as well spend a lil more on real rims. but i am still keeping in consideration the replicas. I definatly want to change the exhaust, i hate this single oval tip that has to go. i am probably gonna wait a little longer on the exhaust to have more options.

Leave the chrome, it looks more classy and if you deside on selling your car later you won't take a hit for it. As far as what to get first, I would do the same and put some new shoes (rims) on it first. By the way don't tint your windows if your planning to. You want the chicks to see who's rolling that benzo.

I also have a black ckl320, and was thinking a long time before deciding on the wheel upgrade. Would liked 19", but i think they will be too uncomfortable and went with 18". Finally decided for 18" Brabus VI, 1-piece. The six spoke design, with the spokes symmetrical, makes the wheels look bigger. The 1-piece also look bigger than 2-piece, and are cheaper (no, less expensive). Had the lips polished shiny, which creates a nice effect visual effect, especially when driving. Changed the whole apparance of the car, a lot. Got a great deal on the whole thing from "the wheel supply" in LA.

Next thing is lowering it. Will probabaly use Eibach.

Cheers
