You are spot on with that reasonable request. However, one of the duties of a Moderator is to correct inappropriate behavior when and where it happens, so please understand this was not a threadjack, but a needed digression which happens in any thread when someone posts insults. I think the issue is closed and I've asked to get back on topic, as you are now, and would be delighted to discuss your concerns, including the value of modifying your car's chassis.

I like what you did except for the "removed chrome door molding"... In my opinion, it removes an important look to the car.... But the rest look amazing

I've received a bunch of PMs about my quad exhaust setup. Just search for it - there are TONS of information on the topic. Basically you have to buy a c63 amg diffuser (make sure it's the same year as your car - first I ordered a 2012 c63 amg diffuser and it didn't fit - I needed a 2009 c63 amg diffuser) and get the 2 c63 amg diffuser brackets. These can be purchased online or in person at mercedes parts. Then you need to order 2 more c300/c350 exhaust tips (same website or a used pair if you're lucky). Then take it to a muffler shop (I went to a Mienke - any exhaust shop will do) and have them weld them everything together on a y-pipe they provide. It's not cheap, but it makes the car look awesome from a previously weak rear. All together it will run $600-$800 typically.
While you're at the shop doing this mod I highly recommend adding a x-pipe. The part and install should only run $125-$200 and it makes a huge difference.

look for videos on youtube. it gives the car a really sweet european growl. i was skeptical myself - i didn't want to just "increase noise". you have to hear it in person to get a good idea, but i have yet to meet someone who doesn't love it.

they are the c63 reps in 19". i got them on ebay from a company in CA. they really make the car. i recently took off the wheels and put on my stock ones for a day. even with everything else that i've done - it's crazy how much of a difference the wheels make. they are my one "must have" mod.
