Thumbs up Smoked side markers installed.

I think it looks good, IMHO, was waffling between painting them vs. clear or smoked and the smoked seem to match up w/ the headlights well. Can't wait to get the rims on. Also going to get an estimate on painting the roof black today.

Don't paint the roof black!! Don't try to MTM your C63....The sidemarkers look great..no black roof!.. Just my 2cents.. I have the same car, in same color.

Jay, don't worry, the estimate was $1k to paint the roof 'cause it would involve removing the front and rear windshields to do. So as of now, just the springs/wheels and some tinting and I may call it a day. Btw, did you get the springs Jay and how do the wheels fit now? Have pics?

The springs didn't help the wheels 100%...So WB is taking them back and getting me new HRE's...The 790's. Crossing my fingers...my next issue is my POS C63 in the dealer again.

Wow those stock wheels look like crap compared to your new ones Arun... I'm hoping to upload some photos tonight on my website but I'll email them to you either way... a few shots came out really good and to my surprise, the camera actually captured the gloss of the white paint..

i think a black roof will look hot on the white C63, should have just got the pano roof if it's available.
Why don't you just do it in black vinyl. Have seen it and you can't tell what it is and the best part is if you change your mind in 6 months or if your car is leased just peel it off.


Where did you guys buy those lights by the way?? Thanks.

Looks good.

If you don't mind me asking where did you get them?
