Here are some updated pics of "wolfe". New rims and headlights. For those of you who don't know I bought this car a year ago. Originally a 2.6, the previous owner put in a 3.0L m103, 16vlv interior, body kit, aftermarket spoiler, and 5 speed out of a doner 2.6. I've also put on a flowmaster 50 series muffler, magnaflow catalytic converter, and 2.5" tubing. Headers and suspension are next on the list. So what does everyone think? I'm trying to get this car to look much more aggressive and not so much of a grandpa car

Looks good. I'm not a huge fan of the headlights either but they don't look out of place or anything on your car. I actually kind of like the two tone you have going on. I wonder what it would look like if it had the 16 valve fender flares (painted white as well). It must be a fun car to drive with the extra bit of power from the 3.0L. Anyways good work, post more pictures, and keep us posted with your future mods.

I like the headlights. With this pic, it looks modern and retro like the old 300e.

I'm not a fan of those headlights, but im ok with the all clear headlights without the halos and funky designs inside. Put the orange corners back on and take a picture.

Yeah you should really finish the look with 16V flares. A nice touch would be Monoblocks

Nice looking car. I agree with the majority of the posters as far as the headlights go. I have seen cars that they look decent on, but they seem to carry more of a chrome look all around. I think if your car was a different color or had chrome rims or something they may fit better, but right now they just look out of place. I think Euros would just fit with the theme of the car better, but if you like how they look then don't let me sway your opinions.

If you painted your front and rear bumpers the same color as your tan rockers that car would be amazing I really like the tan and white. Looks amazing, i agree with everyone else ditch those headlights for some euros!

Thanks for all the feedback guys! I'll take it all into consideration. Sorry to hear the headlights arn't real popular but it is kinda set now. I didn't like the stock ones and these were $200 so I can't really afford to change my mind now lol. Besides I kinda like the way they look, but agree that they don't fit real well, they kinda outshine the rest of the car. When you say "euro" are you guys referring to stock euro headlights? I'll put the orange

No video for the exhaust but I'll see what I can do. That is the thing I like most about my car now, it sounds intimidating! Lots of people tell me it's too loud but whatever...

And as for fender flares... The reason they arn't on now is because the previous owner didn't like them so he sold them before I bought the car. WTF. I've done some looking but not really sure what I want to do yet.

This might be an odd comparison but it looks a lot like a Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer. My family drives Explorers, I'm liking it a lot.

not a fan of the headlights at all. Besides your car isn't a grandpa's car without all of that stuff, its a Mercedes-Benz, one of the best engineered cars in the world and although it isn't as fast as other cars I can guarantee it handles better and will last twice as long. Don't underestimate your car (;
