'12 C63 4dr Blk/Blk, '06 Lexus IS350
Just got my 2012 C63, have a few questions...
Hey Guys,
Well I finally experienced the moment all of you had at one point. I picked up black/black 2012 C63 4dr about a week and a half ago. I love the car, but the break in period has been testing my patience like nothing else. Can't wait to give it a proper thrashing past 1k miles.
I've been enjoying the car too much and haven't had an opportunity to snap any good pictures yet. However, I have been browsing the forum about a week before I knew it was on the delivery truck. So just I wanted to ask a few quick questions. The car is a lease and I was planning on doing a proper blacked out look like I had on my previous car Lexus IS350. I was planning on painting the tail lights, badges, and the misc chrome parts. The car had the chrome door handle package(lucky me). Since its a lease does anybody know if I'll have to pay a penalty when the car is returned or Ill have to somehow get everything back to its original form.
Also I have been reading a lot about ECU tunes. There are quite a few options out there, however the RennTech tune = 517 HP for $2,250 seems to be the best bang for the buck. What are your thoughts/recommendations?
Again, I'm excited to posses the beast and be a member of this community.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
1. You need to contact the dealer / leasing company and ask them direct. "tastefully" done mods would be ok I would, but that's objective.
Can't offer anything on the Renntech question.

Thanks Troy,
The car is leased through MB Financial. I dont think asking the actual sales person would do any good since I knew more about the car than he did.

MBWorld Fanatic!
keep reading because renntech at 2250 is not the best deal...more like the worst.
Eurocharged, OEtuning, Kleemann are all available for 1k or less and offer top performance.
