Just wanted to say hello. I have a 2005 C230 kompressor. I enjoy the great gas milage and the ease of operation. I have modded my car for now working on a two year timeline. I hope to learn more rom my fellow c class owners and share my woes and triumphs during my build this year. my list so far:

upgraded tires and wheel bearings with spacers and locking tuner lugs.
front and rear sway bar
factory 17 5 spoke wheels with new centers-staggered fitment
custom made fibergalss intake with k&n filter -ram air to grille
new star emblem grille painted black to match
upgraded rear rotors to slotted with ebc pads all around
amg front bumper with windshield washer holes but not installed
smoked signals front and rear
upgraded fluids including an added oil catch can
magnet on oil filter and on oil pan
stainless steel break lines
rear pad # 3 in back for struts
headers with magnaflow hi flow universal 2.5 in cat

thats it so far.

My next mods are my last if anyone can point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

1 new projector headlights prefferably hid -non ebay /or ebay need input
2 arliss series 3 18 inch staggered fitment need recommended sizes for width
3 upgrade for supercharger or should i do it in house i have the tools an equip.
4 ecu tune running super rich hate that i lost my gas mileage but love the power

5 hid's
6 rear led tailights or euro lights
7 rear carbon decklid
8 front carbon hood which i will paint to match i dont want that ricer look
9 lower carbon lip
10 middle floor brace / should i make one?
11 dynamat for the firewall and at least the front door shells holy road noise
12 lighten drive shaft-anyone? i have access to build one dont know if it will make power or save on gas toreduce weight ie dyna mat for lighter drivshaft made of aluminum

13 and last but not least bluetooth for car or /and a nav command system hate not having a tv

Thats it thanks for having me i hope everyone enjoyed their holiday.

couple of corrrections the windshield washer pumps and sprayers not added cant find part numbers so holes are coverd non functional. and lighter driveshaft out of aluminum for weight or power to make up for added weight in doors and firewall with dynamat. losing weight in hood and decklid should lighten her in the loafers as well as improve her nose heavy feel added urethane bushings today feels alot better.
