I think it'll be ok. I expect the rear to come down a little more and the fronts should stay about where they are.

Next up, knock down the red a little on the tails with some light tint, OEM C63 diffusor, quad tips and call it a day.

Maybe gloss black vinyl the roof?? I dunno, not sold on the idea yet. What do you guys think?
