looks excellent Crazy, really well done and clean looking upgrades - with everything else blacked out, are there any plans for the chrome tips? they look a little outta place now...

xXHotelCrazyXx 08-25-2011 04:21 PM

Not sure what im going to do about the tips just yet! Thanks for the compliments everyone

BathingHobo 08-25-2011 05:08 PM

wnunez89 08-25-2011 05:27 PM

xXHotelCrazyXx 08-25-2011 05:30 PM

Great looking car! If I had the money I would probably get taillights like yours with the smoked stripe, but I'll just wait for the 2012 ones to become available. Love the blacked out housings, I really want to do that!

As far as the exhaust, I like it the way it is, quads imho are out of proportion to the stance of the car and are more fitting for the C63. I think the stock tips give it a very sleek and clean european tuner look which I love. Just my opinion though. Although at the same time, your spoiler would make quads more fitting.

BenzoBoi 08-25-2011 06:57 PM

Lookin good! :y

Stevedotmil 08-25-2011 07:02 PM

Super WIN. Love the rims.

wireless200 08-25-2011 07:28 PM

The smoked taillight, the yellow fog lamps, and the Vossen's are all real nice!

LandSeaAir 08-25-2011 07:35 PM

Yeah the rims really make it!

xXHotelCrazyXx 08-25-2011 08:27 PM

mhass350 08-26-2011 11:00 AM

xXHotelCrazyXx 08-26-2011 01:47 PM

Thanks everyone. mdawg, painting headlights is one of the best mods you can do!

alexlev 08-26-2011 01:50 PM

With so much work put into it - Who drives the car more? You or the wife?

I am digging everything. Only thing missing is a Eurotech CF Dual Diffuser :y

xXHotelCrazyXx 08-26-2011 03:39 PM

Thanks alex, i completely agree on the diffuser! I drive it on the weekends!

Spec_Davis 08-27-2011 09:09 PM
