OP good job on your project!!! A+++ You got what you wanted! I hope you enjoy every bit of it. This project dont come cheap. So props to you Bro!
I know how everyone feels about making C class to C63 version. (Just like Civic LX to Civic Type R on logo). But we all have different style so lets not bash OP thread.

Besides the inappropriate badging, the Wald body kit looks a bit crude and poorly executed. This is a cheaply done replica kit.
I'm not a fan of the original Wald styling as it's over the top and lacking in tasteful restraint, but this example is just plain wrong and looks 1000 times worse. The stock, unmolested version looks so much better.
The expanded steel mesh inserts also look cheap (like what you see on a DIY Honda Civic) and definitely not correct for the Wald kit.
This replica kit is totally painted in white paint (including the fake vent openings) which makes it look very cheap. Many parts of the inset portions of the Wald kit should be black unpainted plastic which makes it look a little more refined. There are also some bits of aluminum accent trim such as around the fog lights and tail pipes which you don't see here.
This is how a real Wald should look like:
I find the subject "unbelievable C63" ironically true for other reasons.
Sorry buddy, this is not my style and for those who have taste.

I can't believe how some people can be so rude, but again, must be just that I am getting too old!!!
The guy is proudly showing his car( that by the way states on his profile to be a C300) like many others here. If you have nothing good to say, just don't.
Maybe I was raised in a very wrong way, but I don't Go bashing something just because it is not my style.
The lover, I can see you put a lot of effort, time and money on your car, and despite the fact that super sport looking cars are not my cup of tea, I can appreciate your project. Don't be discouraged to frequent this forum, the great majority of its members are very knowledgeable and enjoy to contribute with each other.
