WHAT DOES EVERYONE THINK OF MY NEW HOOD ?

it's on it's way to me right now . should have it really soon . before everyone asks about how it fits or about the vents , i know that all of the stuff i get fits great and the vents were made for me because my car is not my daily driver so it does not go through rain storms or anything crazy like that . after i get it mounted , i will reveal the final outcome and what i think about where the vents are placed

just wanted a new look so i eliminated the hood humps and the hood emblem and added some DTM style vents

I'm interested to see it installed. I'm sure it will keep your engine bay much cooler. I like the hood humps on our cars, but it's always good to be a little different. The main thing is if you love it that's what counts.

Big vents! That should keep it cool for sure. I like the humps only because it means its a C63. With that hood there is no question its different. Very nice. Who makes it and how much?

hard to answer how much cuz i paid for the mold and design of the hood . right now it's a 1 off design for our cars but if i can gather enough interest , i might just sell them . let's wait to see the install first and then we will take it from there

Agreed. Kind of lost the AMG "character." But props for the big vents which I know you had to lose the humps.

My aesthetic tends toward the discreet and low key so this is a little much for me. That said, I'm very interested in what (if any) paint scheme you utilize...that will make a big difference in how the car presents itself. Congrats on embarking on this project though...

Asha, off topics, but to help u I would say the regular C has lower offset in the rear than our AMG C. It might work, but u might need spacers.

Badbenz, nice looking hood.. Very unique. What will u do with ur old hood? Is it painted calcite white?

thank you all for the comments . i think the hood humps are unique to the C63 but all people need to do is hear the rumble from my car to know what it is . they will also hear the whine of a blower soon enough . i also have the trunk made by DAD'S PERFORMANCE .

my old hood , trunk and spoiler will all be for sale . i have already posted the trunk and wing combo for sale but the hood will be next . if somebody wants to buy everything , i will give them a hell of a deal for all 3 .

by the way , it's painted arctic white C650

Looks Amazing!!

I wonder if they'll come out with a CF version of the new BS hood. That would be INCREDIBLE!

I like the non hump design more than the original bumper. It's brabus bullit-ish. Vents are too big for my taste but it must be hot in Texas there so they should help the engine to breathe.
