Hello friends,
It's been a while since I've done a mod. I thought I would be finishing up the car this summer but time is going by quick and, as usual, nothing goes 100% correctly.
So, for those of you from Wisconsin, I DO NOT recommend Wisconsin Muffler Tire & Auto. They did a garbage job. Now I have to fix their mistakes.
Anyways, I did finally install my AMG rear diffuser and e63 exhaust tips. They are not 100% straight but they're ok for now. Here are some pics, I'm happy with the products/look and will have to find a way to readjust them a bit.

Pictures on the forum are pretty large. You can right-click-open in new tab or press cntl + - to zoom out.
Here are some extra pics. Have a few more updates coming once the weather warms up.
Just did ESL as well. Combination of seasons.
And somebody just hit my back door in a parking lot.

I have made some changes, just have to get some pictures...
1) Carbon mirror caps
2) front plate delete?
3) custom front lip (little different than godhand)
Swapped the old eyelid LED's for new ones (same style) now much brighter. Painted the lug bolts (again) because they had rusted a bit. Not sure how an automaker can make lug bolts that rust but ok.
My vehicle is currently in for takata recall.

I was was hoping to see if you all had any recommendations for reliable and affordable black rims? I am on a budget and not looking to get bigger rims the standard 17’ I imagine would be in my budget. Much thanks in advance.

So this is before tearing apart and this is where we are at. I noticed there's a few things I never updated in this thread, as I started posting on Instagram. The biggest "mod" was I had a custom front lip made from Russia (like 2019 ok) that was fiberglass. Fit perfect and looked great, maybe I'll post some pics later. Anyways that's long gone.
I plan to document this for YouTube but it will depend on the approach I take, as I am already losing a lot of money on this.

If weather was nicer I'd be able to get some work done on it, but for now I've opened the front end apart. Since it needs some body work I'm also waiting to do shop stuff first, but if it was just replacing panels/parts it would be a super quick fix.
