Next Mods for My 09 C63 - Imput Needed!

Ok...Hopefully my Black HRE Monoblocks will be corrected this week. Picture for those of you who haven't seen it yet.

I am asking...

Should I tint/smoke the red part of the tail lights and leave clear part?
Should I tint/smoke the clear part above the turn signals on mirrors?
Should I tint/smoke the front reflectors?
Front Grill - Leave it? Black it? Black Chrome it? - Confused on this one.
Rear Emblems and Chrome trim...Leave it? Black it? Black Chrome it?

I want my car to look clean, yet classy. I am confused about what the next cosmetic steps are.

I will be adding H&R springs and VRP air filters this week.

Tint the white parts of the lights. The rear emblems should follow whatever you decide on the grill and that part of chrome on the trunk. Black chrome would look nice.
Front orange reflectors body color them, even if they light up you don't really need them

Ever consider getting the roof done in black. Doesn't the c class come with pano roof? Looks amazing on a white car. If not there is this vinyl stuff they make custom so if you don't like it you can always remove it.

my suggestions...

-Smoke the center section (white area) of the rear tail lights
-Black chrome out all the chrome outside (window trim, grill, badges, emblems, trunk area, etc)
-Paint the front reflector white to match the car
-Powdercoat your exhaust matte black

That would really give the car very clean and classy look

this is what i would have done. take tha calipers off paint them white, remove the grill paint it black, then to the mirrors paint the reflector part only white same for the side markers. also a carbon diffuser. i think i should be able to rap that in carbon fiber? and the tail lights only the clear part lighty smoke it!!! it will look bad ***!!

Paint front grill in black. Put an EXHAUST on it. I am sure it will sound even sicker with an aftermarket one. I would love to go for a ride in a C63 and would also like the hear the exhaust because I have not. From what I hear and read it is an amazing sounding beast.

JRCART is infamous around these parts
Nice looking C63, I really liek the white with black wheels. Do you have any performance mods in the works? I own a 63 Black Series and a set of long tube headers and X-pipe did wonders for the car.

The white calipers is a good idea too.
