I put some satin aluminum vynil on the side skirts to tie in the look of the rear diffuser and front spoiler.. what you think?

Looks fantastic. Did you follow body lines on the skirts or freehand that somehow?

Looks great. Is that Cardinal Red? I am waiting for my C63s Cardinal Red Cabriolet to come in next month

Yes it is cardinal red...the vynil follows the body line of the side skirt where the creases are. The mud guards are more for function than looks because on my old c450 the tires kicked up a lot of crap and damaged the paint near the doors.

+1 on the mud flaps..... They might look better on a truck. 3M vinyl protection would do the same job and be less visually obtrusive IMO.

Otherwise looking very nice!!

Looks amazing! Well done matching the look of the car from all angles. I absolutely love the look of those 19" split spoke wheels with Cardinal Red.

I ordered the night package on a selenite grey paint... thinking going vinyl, too. Maybe a different option than the satin aluminium, but I'm not a huge fan of the black piano night package... even if it's better than chrome .

Sorry, I really don't know what brand and color it is. I just brought it to a shop that does vinyl wrap, the owner was the one who looked at the swatches and found a match.

That looks so fabulous. Saw an S Class coupe this weekend and it had the factory version of this treatment (metal of course) and all I said was how can I get this look for under $181,000? Now I know.

I think you should consider doing the door handles as well.

Now to just drive it.. I got it the beginning of November but I had heart bypass surgery a week before it came in so my wife drove it home from the dealership and it's been sitting in the garage since then because I'm not allowed to drive till the Doctor gives me the OK...I believe sometime mid December.. so for now it sits and I drive it about 10 feet out of the garage every 4 days to look at it..it has 30 miles on it total..

No, unfortunately... it was difficult to get the right size rims in front to fit.

Just the top of the handle is, to me it looks odd. I have the same dilemma with mine. I want to black out mine to match the window trim

Hope you feel better soon. I'm sure seeing the car each time helps with the healing process. Good luck.
