Moddin' the SLK

Well, as much flack as I have received over modding my Gs, but as soon as I got my girl the SLK, she went crazy with ideas.

I ordered her a custom etched plexi wind screen. Hooked up 6 red LEDs to the brake lights and I must admit, I really like the way it came out.

Now she wants me to get her rims, most likely the 19' AMG wheels, and she wants a double din touch screen navi stereo. I just dont know if I should get gunmetal wheels, TA style, or plain silver. She also wants Audi style LEDs in her headlights.

Here it is during the day.





Here it is at night with lights off.





I wired it so the LEDs come on very dim to the headlight circuit. Normally on when the lights are, but not very noticable (I increased the exposure alot to capture it)






Also wired to come on full power when the brakes are pressed, much brighter.

I still want to get mine done. Just trying to plan the down time for them.

Can you do hers as well?

These are her headlights. I am thinking black with LEDs along the entire bottom edge, kinda like the A4

That might be a little hard, the housing is soo thin in that area, I dont know how clean I can get it to look without using premade LED strips which are gheyyy. I could def do an iron-man on her lights tho.
