Thanks peydidy! It looks worlds better with the tail light tint now. Im very happy with the way it looks! The back end always seemed a little to tame to me and now I think it looks perfect... ok not perfect! That would include quads! These were just a few quick shots I took. I will take better ones of the back end soon.

Thanks guys I'm very pleased with the new look. I was going between a matte black two toned theme and a CF two toned theme. As you guys can tell I went the matte black route mostly because not all of the parts I wanted to change came in CF and I dont like to miss match CF with black parts. Plus I like that its different!


Peydidy Glad to hear it! I was on the edge because last time i did it too dark and hated it. Make sure you buy lamin x tint. It's more expensive but it's way better!

Just a quick photo I took today on my phone (Sorry about the bad quality)... while I was walking to the car it seemed like a great shot so I took a quick photo! While in a parking garage I saw a C63 with a spot open so I parked next to him and grabbed a few photos! Just figured I would share...

Any plans for a rear diffuser in black to match your black/white theme?

The stock one is blackish/grayish now but I am definitely planning on matte blacking it to match the other stuff better. I will probably do it over the winter while its in the garage.




EDIT: Or do you mean like a whole new diffuser with quads?

I know Im going to get flamed for this next mod but I really want to do it...

I ordered a Million LED SMD Interior Lighting Kit

http://www.ledunderbody.com/expandab...light-kit.aspx


BUT don't worry too much... haha the only color I really wanted was white but I figured for an extra 10 bucks it would be worth the extra ****s and giggles to have the other colors. You can set it so when you turn them on they come on just white so its like having the white kit but with the option to turn it into a pink glowing mercedes rice rocket! haha I will post pics when they are installed.

Sadly no I won't be doing quads. As much as I would like to I am only going to be keeping the car for 2 years so all of the mods I do I want to be able to put back to stock (easier o sell). Although, I am going to upgrade the exhaust though... Im going to do one of 3 things.

1. Delete muffler and add 1 to 2 resonators

2. Put an electronic exhaust cut out before the muffler

3. Swap stock muffler for magnaflow (the least possible)

As most of you know from the other thread I am still trying to get the exhaust work done but I have a quick tire question.


Im going to be needing tires again but this car goes threw them so quickly I tried to find a used set for the rear. I found somebody on a bmw forum selling that will sell me his two 245/35/18's RTF's Bridgestone Potenza RE050A's with 4-5/32 left for $75.

I know they aren't the right size but the way it eats threw tires and for that price I'd like to buy them as long as they will work.


Also, If they don't fit the rear will they fit the front?

Any advice is appreciated!

Get some wheels on that thing with some step lips and drop it it will look great. First mod anyone should do is lower the car and wheels. After that it all comes together.

Thanks for the advice kamilclk430! That was part of the plans but unfortunately I was in an accident about 1 month or 2 two ago and my beloved CLK was totaled...
