I think they are ugly. Makes the car look cheap

Well the jammers are going to be in/under the grill the radar will probably be mounted right under or in the windshield housing. I'm not sure where yet but both are supposed to be top of the line units from the research that I have done and they work together so we will see... I'm hoping I can hide it.

Agreed, ugly, unless you happen to sell rock climbing studs door to door.

I agree, don't treat your benz like a honda. I think MB designed it better than any third party can and I plan to keep my exterior stock unless I plan to change my wheels

And I dont think will fit a C450 being that our intake vents are slightly bigger than the C300 that the mod was placed on

nadeau

wheels and a slight drop is all i want to do to mine! trying to find out what wheels/offsets is making me go mad lol no one has aftermarket wheels yet

tmoneyC450amg

I really like the C63 forged 19" amg 5spokes on our cars just need someone to confirm fitment on those

Waylon Zeng

I believe Brad had a few pics with the c63 black forged wheels with spacers.


And regarding to the vent accessory, I agree with y'all. Too much going on, but I just can't help but to feel the front vents are a bit naked, especially compared to the extra black gloss finish on the C63. I'm gonna go to a local 3D printer shop tomorrow and see if there's anything I can do.


@cajun1689 here's another review to add:

aftermarket wheels exist. you will just be paying $$. HRE. Vossen. Carlsson to name a few are available. in 19" and 20"

willywonka

i wouldn't buy anything from aliexpress.com. Most of the items are made in China and are knockoffs with bad fitment in regards to the car parts.

nadeau

yea, i have had several Vossen and Avante Garde wheels in the past, i just want to make sure i order a aggressive wheel, not stance nation but a nice flush look

osubeaver

Hideous!

nvestr

^ Agreed, I barfed a little in my mouth.

rbrylaw

That's being kind!

Mikey53

Just needs some giant eyelashes attached!


Man, that is ugly.

Mike5215

Did the 450 get the same staggered offset as the 63? I believe that's 38mm front, 56mm rear?

adding now thanks

Guys : the head of sales at dealership confirmed my delivery next week. I really can't wait !!! d-9

I will really miss my A5 3,2 FSI. I did 450 miles the last few days with a full volume Knopfler guitar songs on the bang and oOlufsen 530watts speakers it is heaven on earth !!!

Just to let everyone know that I changed out my stock summer run-flat 19" tires this morning for Pirelli Sottozero 3's that I got from TireRack. Fit like a charm. I ended up getting 225/40R19 for all 4 wheels and bought a small, portable air compressor for the trunk in case of a slow leak but I'm SOL if there's a wall break.

Took about an hour and a half for the guy to get the stock tires off and the winter ones on.

New review up on the site http://c450amg.com/product-review/20...-fiber-mirrors

Bourne

Nice review. Iam interested by the comparison with oem parts as I plan to go for oem after delivery.

I come back to the story of the ashtray cover AMG badge. I'm puzzled by the fact that this badge doesn't exist anymore on sale while it is included in the C450 in Japan (I can send videos showing it)...

I had my valentine 1 installed last week.

here are some pics of it hard wired. barely noticeable. best radar on the market.

I have had one for 12 years. just replaced my last one, and put one in the wifes car as well. its a must have. although, I am very intrigued on the laser jammer. that might be a good idea as well. as you know when you are hit with the laser and from what direction, but that point its too late.

ScubaKing

Brutus (Buckeye Fan?) - where did you run the cord and what did you connect to for power? Did you use the concealed display?

Brutus2015

Not sure how they wired it. The custom auto shop I deal with did the tint, radar and had the coating done on the paint and wheels

Yes, big buckeye fan.

Arthrodesis

That looks really clean.

I disagree with V1 being the best. Having used various detectors, Escort redline is still king with bs/rdr.

V1 without custom sweeps gives too many false alerts, IMO.

Brutus2015

i will have to say that I'm not up to speed as i used to be in the auto electronic field.


my dad has always had the passport, and i was never a fan.


I like the V1 because it tells you what direction the cop is in. on longer trips i tend to have the waze app on as well, so that gives some accurate feedback on whats ahead.
