So I just got home a little while ago. Wife was working, so she didn't go with me to pick up the car. Her first words "it's nicer than I thought it would be."

Here are a few pics... Sorry, it was getting late so some of these are dark:




































I'll create a new thread with the rest of the pics and a few initial thoughts, tomorrow (since there is a game on )

Looks amazing! Those seats are gorgeous, but my 6yr old would wreck those seats!

Great color combo! You going to get it tinted?

Simply beautiful! I hope you get to drive this in happiness and great health! I'm really really happy for you!! (Nikon DSLR?)

Vipershade

Thx man! Yeah, I wanted them to treat the leather, but I ran out of time... I am going to go back on a Saturday and have the leather treated. Apparently, their expert uses it on his own car and loves it.

Thinking about both tint and wrap... the first place I checked for wrap wanted a majority ownership in the car (JK, but not really )

Vipershade

Thanks brother! Roger on the camera... the upload kept choking (I'm guessing file size ). Yeah, good call on the nice camera (I ended up with 58 pics... a little light on number, but not too bad... I was too busy looking at it...lol).

rbrylaw

Well, the pics are beautiful and so much nicer than anything you can get on a cell phone. When I do finally pick mine up, my Nikon D7100 will be around my neck. Yes it will!

😍😍 wow those designo seats and silver fiber trim are really something else. I honestly don't think anything in this segment or even midsized luxury could compare

I wouldn't mind volunteering myself as tribute when mine arrives for your photoshoot

Vipershade

Definitely take it...it's not everyday you buy a Mercedes (well at least most of us - you're every other day ).

Vipershade

Thanks man! I was lucky to get some really good advice from someone that knows a lot about designo interiors. Most experts tend to focus on performance, I was schooled on interiors... and really happy that I was.

Great pics, Viper. Might've just convinced me to go with the silver fiber trim instead of the standard carbon fiber with my black/red accent interior. Looks awesome.

Vipershade

Thanks man! I was convinced when I figured out that the only other car you could get it on was the AMG GT S. (Now, you can order it on a C63/C63S, but I don't think the configurator wants anyone to know that ).

*Knowledge*

Congrats man, that is a thing of beauty. Loving that interior, makes me feel good I went with designo platinum too. BTW, what happened to the mats?

Vipershade

Thx man! I was wondering if anyone would catch that... That was the first thing that I noticed while they were detailing. I have them checking on it.

All of the designo builds list designo floor mats in the dealer-inventory specs.

*Knowledge*

Ah okay. Well let them worry about it and maybe you can keep the AMG mats when they give you the designo ones.
Congrats again man, this makes me look forward to mine even more.

Vipershade

I was thinking the same thing about the mats...lol. I'll be looking forward to seeing your build.

Gorgeous interior/exterior combo. I actually like the white AMG mats with your car's interior.

All the cars look amazing. What is the offset of the rims on the 18 inch wheels? I need to get snow tires and 2015 C400 18 inch snow tire package is on special, would between fit the C450?

Besides obviously looking great, a HUGE benefit will be that you won't be able to see dust, dirt, and fingerprints on it nearly as well as you would the dark traditional carbon fiber. That is my thought, at least.

I think I'm sold on it now. I want the black leather with red stitching and red seat belts (since I don't want to pay for the Designo and I'm afraid the crystal grey will get too dirty, plus I think the black and red is sportier than the regular grey leather and provides a nice dark contrast to my white exterior). With the light fiber inside, I think the light grey color will then provide nice contrast to the dark seats on the interior - similar to your set up. I'd go with the Designo but I'm trying to minimize the total cost so I've thrown on so many other add ons

Vipershade

Thanks brother!

Not sure about you, but after about 45 minutes of driving, I have to say that I love the HUD. I wasn't sure how well the speed limit info would be displayed (from a frequency standpoint), but it seems to be spot on. So the setting that I have it on provides speed, current speed limit, next NAV turn, next NAV turn distance, time to final destination and final destination distance.

As well as it worked on my drive home, I would buy it for the speed limit alone.

Vipershade

You are 100% correct about the fingerprints... the film has like a matte texture, it doesn't seem to smudge or nick at all. I really like it.

Bob12321

Delivered yesterday and I love it. It's no C63 S, but I knew that. Keeping an eye out for an ECU upgrade to make it even more thrilling, but you can definitely have fun driving this car - and I am!

That interior is absolutely stunning!!

Congrats on the new ride.

Edit - are you still looking for the black 19" AMG cross spoke wheels? they would look killer on your build.

Congratulations to Vipershade and Bob12321 on the beautiful cars!

Decisions, decisions. Damn you with the silver trip sexy interior, Viper.

Vipershade

Nice! I bet it looks good in the steel grey.
