Looks boss dude ������
Link to caliper covers? I was looking at ones like that too, because they look more real than the fake brembos and the other flat plastic sh*t. Also link to stickers? Also why switch wheels? Both look sick af imo. Fullo questions lol |

Both look sick af imo. Fullo questions lol They also have them in red. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Engineering-...53.m2749.l2648 I have some H&R stickers http://www.ebay.com/itm/H-R-VINYL-ST...53.m2749.l2649 I wasn't feeling my other wheels anymore, they look nice and the design is nice, but I never liked the face being dark machined instead of regular silver machined and gloss black insides instead of satin black which would make the wheels pop more. Also they are full of rashes so I might sand them completely to take off the dark machine coating and bring out the shine. |
Gotcha. Thanks for the links (for stickers meant the 507 ones lol). Any close up pics/few angles of the brake covers?

Did you go to the Maple Grove Raceway car show this weekend? It was packed. Also I still don't understand what makes our suspension so different. My car rubs a lot more now that I went from ET45 to ET42 and you hardly have any rubbing with 5MM spacers that put you at ET40. Could it be my springs are more compressed so my car is lower than yours or maybe Continental vs Hankook make that much of a difference in diameter? |
Super sick build bro :bow:

Feeling everything but the hood stripe, but that's a matter of taste. I'm in New Hope, PA (Bucks County)...if you're ever in the area, we're a fun bed and breakfast bar hopping town. Would love to hear more about your added paddle shifters :)

Mods: Gloss black Mercedes center cap. Canada C350 4Matic interior badge. Attachment 441782 Attachment 441776 Attachment 441783 |
Hey man, checking out your thread I've got a similar build going on and want to do certainly some of the things you've got going on. It's good to know we're close by, hoping to hit you up on some of things you've done and who did them for you. Definitely the X pipe is on the hit list soon.

I have a few more updates I need to document. Full carbon trim wrap was done last week instead of silver carbon I used black and some bumper canards I need to get installed.

Ultimately my wife will be doing the lion's share of the driving in this car, so I'm going stealth as much as possible but there's a lot of tuning available for the car so I do want to tackle some of the more subtle things. I really like the C63 shift paddles you installed and I would certainly tackle that. I thought it was pretty ballsy but you showing the picture in process it actually seems a lot simpler than so many other mods.
At this moment I have my ECU out at OETuning getting done, should have it back by tomorrow. See how much this 3.5 liter GDi V6 can gain from being the same lump as in the C350. I wanted to become familiar with the nature of the car as much as possible before doing the ECU so I could get a better sense. I also notice that a lot of the mods you did with the Star Diagnostic tool are things that are there on the 2013, like the silver theme on the command screen. |
Man what a sick journey you had, congrats. Quick question, how did you manage to update the two screens to the silver theme? Did you go to a dealer and was it difficult to do?
