You're Bored and Want to customize the cosmetics of the benz just a little....

I myself, have already decided on some and begun the last few days...

I already painted the trunkstar gloss black, it now blends into the car and looks great, Put red bulbs in the rear indicators, and changed the front indicators for yellow bulbs.

I plan on now Painting the Valve cover and Air Cleaner Assembly blue, I bought the paint already for it, should come out looking cool, and I also plan on painting the Brake calipers to match the Valve cover and Air Cleaner Assembly. I will also do some other minor items around the engine compartment to compliment the rest of the blue. I'll be painting the Exhaust headers aluminum or black, and various other items. It should come out looking really cool.

Later I will add stainless steel braided covers over the radiator hoses and other hoses in the engine with end pieces to really give it that cool look. I always liked those covers for the hoses.

I will also be painting the chrome grille surround gloss black, and the headlight pieces below the wipers as they are pitted, I'm going to sand them and prime them and paint them. It should come out looking good. I'll finish off the gloss black with high gloss clearcoat. I figure if I screw it up, I can always take it to my bodyshop for a sanding and repainting by a pro.... for a little cash or buy a new surround..

I plan on doing this all myself. The gloss black might not match the paint perfectly, but its a pretty good match, the trunk star looks great.

I also plan on wrapping my seatbelt arms with aluminum so the belt does not keep cutting the belt loop on the arms. I'll paint that black and clear coat it as well.

another item of business will be to stretch color matched speaker cloth over the first aid kit box to cover my subwoofer port hole.

I am also going to be doing my after summer complete detail. Soon.

Later I will do a body kit.

What are you guys planning on doing for cosmetic mods to your cars?
