C32 finished!!

Finally finished my C32 that I got about 9 months ago. Here are the list of mods:

Performance:
NGK Iridiums
8.5mm Mag wires
Code 3 Intake
Kleemann 178mm
K&N intakes filters
AND of course.....Stage II Euro charged tune

Others:
Mandrus Manheim 19x8.5 Front 19x9.5 rear
H&R suspension
CF lip spoiler
Tint
Pioneer DVD/GPS AVIC touchscreen
2 12inch Fosgate's with amp
After market AMG shift knob
CF interior

I think thats it....lol

Anyway I was told I should be at roughly 400hp, does that sound about right with the mods I listed? 400 crank of course

Let me know what you think

Looks good! Not sure about the chrome mirror covers or the Kleeman badge though. That CF interior is vinyl, correct?

I'm glad you brought up the Chrome mirrors, it was the only thing to come from the previous owner and I've been debating whether or not to remove them. More opinions would be great! I personally wanted them gone but a couple friends thought they were so awesome some I haven't had the courage to remove them yet. And yes the CF is vinyl I did myself.

Car looks great! I like the chrome mirrors on black. The only thing I don't like is the grill... just doesn't look right on the C32's. But to each his own, clean car!

Are they even removable? I just think that it's a lot of chrome, and there's nothing else on the car that matches. Maybe if the wheels were completely chrome. Again, the car is clean so it's up to you. They might look better if you smoke the turn signal to provide some contrast. I am kind of going through the same myself but with CF mirror covers. Just not sure if I want to keep them on.

I would also suggest to get rid of the chrome mirror covers. I think those only work on Audis, but then the newer Audis have brushed aluminum. Since all of your rear emblems are blacked out, how about blacking out the MB logo as well?

I really like the CF overlay you did for the interior, maybe do the same with the mirror? Everything else look really good!

Great idea about wrapping over the chrome with the CF!! I tried to remove the covers and they are on the solid....might have to replace the whole cover if I wanted to remove them, but just wrapping them with the CF is a perfect easy fix! Thanx
