Introducing Mars 4Matic -- Build Thread
I want to wrap them red but I need to figure out what to do with the weights.
How about doing gloss carbon fiber on that front emblem?
wait for it .............
You should also get some custom decals made and tint the turn signals on the mirrors.
wait for it ............
Also needs coilovers since you've decided not to get air ride like another Benz you know of.
wait for it ...........
Sell those uncomfortable neck pillows while you're at it.
wait for it ..........
Maybe get a full wrap before the spring in the brushed aluminum.

I will get you the brand of paint tonight. It is a rattle can that you can buy at Autozone.
Sorry, I just saw the question about the caliper stickers.

I would love the exact details so I can order them too....I have plans on painting mine ASAP and I wanted to keep the lettering. This is a great way. If you could put it up or message me with it, it would be much appreciated...
Very nice ride by the way.....
What kind of exhaust system did you install? How does it sound? I like beep notes kind of like Magnaflow without a loud clip at the end? Does your exhaust sound like that or is it closer to the C63 clip at the end?
Sounds good bud, Thank you for the info, and if you could get me the brand of paint, I'd appreciate it
Alright, let me see if I can answer everything in one post.
The caliper paint is made by VHT. It is designed for high heat, I also use a couple layers of clear coat once everything is done to seal it and hold the letters on. This is the second car I have used it on with great results. They have a few colors, I used black and red for my setup. I removed the cover with the lettering and painted it off the car. Just be careful so you do not break the pins that hold it to the caliper.
The sticker details are listed below-
The first step is text & size
.45 inches per letter
.48 total height 4 width
(You could go a bit smaller on these, I would go smaller if I had to do it again. Probably 3 inches wide with a comparative height.)

Make sure you order the better vinyl, it costs a bit more but it can handle the heat that the brakes make.
I only installed a Magnaflow X-Pipe. I love the sound of it and I do not experience any drone. It has a nice deep rumble. The tips were installed as well and give the impression that I have a full setup under the car. Still have the stock mufflers installed and I do not plan on changing them anytime soon.
More pics coming soon.
The C63 Bumper, Lip and Fogs are on
The Morello Fenders are on and glow red when the doors are unlocked with the remote.
The SPYDER headlights are in and all bulbs have been converted to LED and HID
All trim has been wrapped in black
I installed some light pods in the engine bay to show off at night when I do shows.
I need to put the grill back on tonight and put my foglight surrounds on. They were painted black last night.
Thanks for all the compliments!
