So for the past 6 months iv been putting off posting anything about my car, simply because I wanted to get it closer to its finished state.

First off, My name is Kyle im 24, Currently in CT but bounce back and forth between CT & FL. Currently getting my MBA in CT.

I picked up a 11' C63 Fully loaded with about 800 miles on it around 9 months ago, and made some nice plans from day one. Im coming from a 11' STi & 11' EVO both fully modded except building the motor.

Onto My C63...

Iv been working with SSR wheels for the past 6 months. Im lucky enough to have some serious connections in this business and SSR decided to used my car for marketing. I decided to go with their SP3 Professor wheel as I would be the first person to ever fit this wheel on a C63. After about a week of measuring & just shy of a 4 month build time they finally arrived.

I also worked with John from CKS suspension. Hands down the best customer service iv ever had, will take my calls anytime of the day, 7 days a week. Not to mention they ride just like my KW V3's from my Evo X.

Currently the car has...

Mode Carbon Diffuser
Mode Carbon Lip
Mode Carbon rear deck lid
H-Pipe w/rear cat delete
K&N drop in's w/ charcoal delete
Mercedes OEM front camber bolts
V1 & Laser Interceptor Quad
Eurocharged V4 Tune
CKS C1 Coilovers
SSR SP3 Wheels
19X9 +39 245's
19X10 +49 275's
3 piece wheels with a step lip
Lots of fender work front & rear

Im going to post one photo for now, but I will have much much more to come...




Also here is my plate, everybody seems to love it. Iv had serval officers shake my hand saying quote " Its so creative I cant get mad " hahah

NickAMG

Sidv22

Welcome. I like the wheels - haven't seen those before.

What do you mean by rear & front fender work?

rory breaker

Love the SSR's, looks great!!

Sincity

Neither do I. All I see are a bunch of 8s and Bs. I guess it would confuse someone if he was trying to get away quick.

BTW-Welcome OP.

aussie e55

wonder what a set would cost landed in queensland australia ?.

These plates are normally just for entertainment purposes, but the theoretical hope is that the cop writes down the plate number wrong, which in some states makes it easier, if not automatic, to have a ticket dismissed.

On a more related note, car looks great, OP!

Nice looking wheels, and ditto with Matt's question.. What kind of fenders work did u do to accommodate such a low offset in the front & even the rear would rub at +49 offset lowered.

Looking food Kyle!

The Purpose of the plate is so that nobody can read it, since FL font of 8 & B is so similar, i took advantage of the situation

Krotondo

Im quite experience with fender rolling & tucking so I was able to completely flatted the rear fenders ( I used a eastwood roller ) and lots lots lots of heat.

The rears will tend to pinch where it meets the bumper, a small hammer and again lots of heat took care of this and I have virtually zero rubbing in the rear, at least nothing i can physically hear or see.

The fronts are a *****, you cannot use the roller since the fender wants to flex too much, this is where a small hammer and heat gun come into play, it takes a long time but i was able to get the front lip pinched and only rub on huge bumps, ill revisit the fronts for more adjustment

Lastly I maxed out my camber plates, then ran the OEM MB camber bolts to help bring the bottom of the wheel back in .5 degrees so all in all im only running about -2.0 degrees of camber in the front which is nothing.

Lots of trial and error lots of heat and confidence

CoolBDPhenom03

Well, it worked. I had to read it like 3 times to get it right. I always thought it would be fun to do that with "0" and "O" or something else.

Krotondo

hahaha perfect! Between the plate, the V1 & the laser jammers i got a nice little bubble around my car going for me hahaha

CoolBDPhenom03

I have my V1 mounted nice and high, just above my mirror. I've been toying with the idea of LI, but it's a huge fine if you're caught in Cali.

m a x i m u s

minh, i got my V1 up high too, but just to the left of the in-glass antenna. is yours mounted right in that black area? if so, i guess it doesn't interfere with the detector?

CoolBDPhenom03

Yeah, it's wedged above the left side of my mirror. My dashcam is above the right side.
