I just bought this c63 AMG black series hood.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Benz-C-Class-W204-12-14-C63-AMG-Edition-507-Hood-Bonnet-Aluminum-/191536502797?hash=item2c9877180d&vxp=mtr
I'm anxious to see how much of a difference the AMG hood really makes.

You do know that the C63 is longer from the A-pillar forward, right? So it won't fit a standard C-class.

Yeah he knows he had another post about an OEM c63 hood. But from reading the eBay listing it looks to be for all w204 models except the c63 amg. So I'm kinda excited to see how it fits also!

The hood is suppose to be here on the 19th. I'm hoping for a good fitment. It's shipping from Cali, but made in Taiwan. The seller has it listed for $779.00, but he accepted my offer of $700 with free shipping I think that's a pretty good deal for a black series hood.

I just finished the x-pipe, quad tips, diffuser and lip. Now I have the c63 hood, c63 spoiler and 19" rims coming.

I think i'm going to wrap the inserts in the c63 hood either carbon fiber or chrome to match my grille/rims

I can't wait for you to post some pics! It's a kick *** hood. How much is it going to cost to paint the hood? $350? Also did you go with 19" c63 wheels or something else?

I'm not sure about the cost for the paint job. Hoping its under 300$. After buying all these c63 parts I keep telling myself I should have just bought a c63 AMG. I stole this car for the price I paid from my dad a couple months ago so even after spending a bit on parts I am still far under KBB value.
I went with these rims.

Hood came in this afternoon. I installed it immediately by myself. It was extremely simple. The hood fits just like the OEM hood. It felt sturdy and honestly the same quality as the OEM hood. I will post pics in about an hour.

Question: I lost the clip that goes around one of the phnumatic arms that hold the hood up. What is that part called and where can I get another.

Also I lost the small piece inside the spring mechanism that cushions the hood when its closed. What's it called and where can I find it?

One piece is inside the engine bay. I got frustrated trying to get it out so I'll just buy another. The other piece is inside the old hood. I can hear it rattle, but it wont come out.

It was just 3 screws on the left and 3 on the right then 2 clips on each pneumatic arm.

One thing I did not know was that I needed to remove the rubber trim on the front of the old hood, locking latch and spring cushions and move them to the new hood. I didn't know how to remove those springs so that took most of my time. I put a blanket on the glass/engine bay. Lifted the hood all the way up and loosened every screw. The hood was stable in the upright position with all but one screw taken out. It was light weight so switching it out for the new hood was relatively easy.

I have a small ding on the passenger door so I might leave the hood on when I take it to paint and just have them fix the dent and paint the hood.

It looks like its wrapped matte black vinyl. I am actually considering wrapping it in carbon fiber vinyl. It would save me hundreds and "might" look cool.
If not this weekend I will get it painted.

Rims are coming at the end of the week hopefully and I put on the c63 style spoiler today. I really like the look of the hood+lip and the OEM C300 bumper.

I think it's just the top of the grille/shadows. Here is another angle

Definitely paint match black and I think I'm going to vinyl wrap the vents carbon fiber. I bought chrome, black chrome, carbon fiber and matte black in case I get any ideas. I'm going to try something like this with my c63 spoiler (040 black).

Very nice, I wish the actual 507 hood for the C63 was that cheap . Can't wait to see what you finally decide on the hood finish.
