Finally got my Quad Tips!
It took a while but I finally got my quad tips on with the c63 diffuser! All OEM parts and it was worth every penny!
Thanks to Tanktube67, GPI, cvkatigbak, and FrankW for all the advice and parts.
Total cost including parts and labor = $460

Looks great. Good job Maybe it's the camera angle, but is the left inner tip lower that the left outer tip? Good aggressive placement jutting out though.

Actually I didn't want them sticking out that much but they didn't have a choice since the T pipe got in the way. I'm glad it turned out well and that you like it! lol

I think that part numbers can be searched for. I didn't get any of the parts brand new so I don't have them. I got ALL the parts from other members of this forum and they all gave me great deals. Given I had to tinker with some of it and get things repainted/realigned, but it was all worth it and it was much cheaper then buying everything brand new.
Parts:
C63 Diffuser
C63 Diffuser Brackets
W204 Tips x 4
Custom T Pipe (You can also do Y pipe which looks better)

It looks good, however are you sure those tips are well-aligned? I've seen pictures that they do look messed up from the front angle, but this ones seem to look messed up from every angle in the pictures.
Hey maybe it's just the picture like you say!

I dont think my car even comes close to looking like a C63. There are some OBVIOUS differences! For a person to even know what a C63 is and for them to mistake a C Class for a C63, they must be a total idiot. BESIDES, its obvious by my rims that I'm trying to pose as a CL63 not a C63. derrrrr!
Cant we all just be loving for one day in honor of Michael Jackson?

The exhaust really makes alot of difference appreance wise. Sweet mode there man. Besides about being a poser.. The front bumper, fenders is totally different in a C63 compared to this...

quad tips are far from c63 posing... imo
like savage said the cars are designed very very differently...
quad looks much heavier at the back which is nice seeing as our cars do have a higer back end... it balances it out very nicely.
don't group quad tips into the same category as ///AMG badges or random useless "vents" on the fenders/hood etc.
oh ya... nice car savage... lol

First off hes not going for a c63 "look" because if he was he would be like those other morons that change the badges. The quad tip just looks more tasteful on this car. Fine job!

A Prius because I'm green
I agree he is just personalizing his car to look better no different then someone adding nicer wheels on it to make it look better. I'm all for Benz owners making it look good although as a true AMG owner I'd suggest keeping the AMG badge off, that's what annoys me. Even though it makes for some interesting fun when rice rockets (seems to be Subaru STI's mostly) that beat a poser and think they can take me on! Besides Mercedes sells their cars now with AMG body styling to look better anyways.

Looks good, be proud of your ride and don't let these guys give you and shiat... As long as you're happy, that's the important thing.
PS. I saw a SL with quad tips and it wasn't a AMG either, but it sure looked good. I am thinking about doing that conversion myself.

No change in sound, its just the tips. You'll need to get new mufflers like tanktube did to get that ROAAAR!!
bigigg: the only reason I got my mod so cheap was because I searched the forums and got get deals from other members. All my parts were used but in great condition and I did the paint myself for the diffuser.
