For an entry level car, the redesigned C-Class is beautiful and very attractive compared to a lot of the same cars in it's class (3 series, A4, IS, etc). Here are some pics w the windows tinted (windshield too!).

Black car with black windows FTW.
You got a porsh?????

If someone has C63 wheels they want to sell me then I might be interested. This is supposed to be my incogito mobile so I don't plan on doing too much to it.
Offsets are all wrong.

Does look great with the tint ... you going to tune it? Several companies have nice stuff for that car. We have a 40 hp for $4000 PKG (ECU and headers) but you can get almost 30 hp from just the ECU.

I'm sure he was kidding. He may not have his learner's permit but he's not illiterate.
