Wow! Looks great! I just ordered the DTM bumper also. I added the carbon lip spoiler also. How did you wire in the lights?

Thanks guys, I was hesitant about buying black wheels, but I thought I'd powdercoat the stock ones to see if I really liked it, I love it!

They wired the LED's to the battery, they automatically turn on with the car. I still get the foglight errors, but it doesn't bug me.

Your new front bumper has the upgrade to the LED lights instead of the fog lights but still has the two slits on the side? Im jealous lol... my new coupe only has single slits on the new bumper, and personally I think the older style two slits are more sporty... The single slits are hard to see (of course my car being black doesn't help). Looks good though. Thumbs up on the work

Completely different style, this is a mock of the DTM; your car looks awesome, congrats!

Front bumper looks very good. You should stop posting pictures from sunny Socal. It's been raining here non stop since last week.

i think you need some black lug bolts to go with your black wheels! I like how your vent is now painted, looks much cleaner!

What size tires are you running? how much is one of those DTM front bumpers? Just curious to know if you replaced the bumper because of a damage front bumper. Car looks good.

Thanks guys!

I have brand new Micheillin PSS 235/40/18 infronts, and old (look likes slicks) Dunlup Direzza 275/40/18 in the back.

Going with the same size PSS' in the rear ASAP.


My old DTM bumper got hit and cracked, I could have fixed it, but wanted the newer (more aggressive) version.

DTM Bumper with LED's is ~1800 shipped from revozport.

Looking good...how was the fitment on this bumper compared to the previous version (bad). Also what drop do you have in the back I was going to add 10mm spacers, just wanted to make sure no rubbing though.

GREAT JOB brother
Your car is definitely one of the HOTTEST C63s I've seen on this forum.
I love it.. Simple, yet, *** SWEET!!!
As someone stated, I'm jealous of the 2 slits in yours.. I only have 1
Can't wait to see this car with the CF lip and diffuser!!!

No I don't, I made the mistake of not telling them to delete it when I ordered the bumper

Bigger openings, lower to the ground, and LED's.

Fitment is OK, I can tell they needed to adjust things to make it perfect, the grill doesn't go into the bottom slits, that's my major gripe; but you can't tell by looking at if from the outside. I have h&r coilovers, with 275's in the back, they DO rub with more than one person in the car, only on bumps and hard turns, but it's annoying me, I'm going to make a thread seeing what the resolution is
