All of us complain how much the cars needs bigger tires in the rear. I've also read posts asking why MB decided to flare the front fenders, but not flare the rear fenders. What if you could get rear flares in the same type of mold as the front flares put on the rear? I know it would allow us to put 12" wide tires in the back with P335's, but would it look good or out of place?

Anybody skilled at Photoshop want to try and mock it up?

I would love to see this. I think our cars would look bad a** with some rear wheel flares and serious rubber out back!

Sign me up! I have already been talking to the local body shop about this. Someone, please come out with something.

I know the Brabus Bullit has extended rear fenders but I doubt we can get them if you could afford them. They incorporate the entire rear panel and rear door. Let us know!!

I was thinking the same thing - the front is flared so why not the back? Kind of silly. With the back flared it would look more like the CLK Black which looks awesome.

Agreed 100%.

The flared fenders on the CLK63 really add to the aggressive look of the car. Would have loved a wider track on the C63.

If anyone can come up with the design in photoshop and we have at least 10 people wanting the kit, we can have it made up especially for you.

I am 100% in. Our cars need that. Could someone come up with a design for revozport?

Take a look at the Brabus Bullit.

The car will look more aggressive +1

I agree with the need for wider rear flares. If I recall correctly, the reason the front fenders are flared so much, is to accomodate a larger engine cradle and the C63's AMG suspension components.

We can do something like what we did for the BMW, an add-on flare.











It can be made perfect, but then you also need to have a good bodyshop to have it done carefully.

Are you suggesting you're going to do the same on the C63? I don't mind but better be nice tho ...

I was thinking a bit wider than the Bullit flares .. more like the wide body on rally MBs of olden days ... well not THAT wide, but somewhere close.

Yes, something like that, but bigger to match the existing front flares.

it CAN be done with the right shop...
rear door/fender/bumper need to be worked on...
question is how many C63 owners are seriously interested in this and how much this project will cost?

Interestingly enough (to me anyway) I never really scrutinized the lack of rear flare. My prior 2008 E90 M3 had a fairly decent front and rear flare to it that I thought really set off the car nicely. I've only had my C63 for about 2 months now and I've spent a great deal of time admiring it, but the more I look at it now, the more frustrated I'm becoming about complete lack of rear flare, aggressive styling. Depending on $$ of course, I'd be very interested in a group buy on something that could be then taken to a local bodyshop for install/paint.

I think we can do the fender flares into 3 pcs on each side.

- Door
- Wheel arch
- Rear bumper

In FRP, I think we can do it for $900 a set.

Revozport,
Can you do a mock up so we can see how agressive you make them and how they will look completed?

MJ50

ALL C63 OWNERS should do this mod!

Lew L

Can't wait to see them.

Not that hard, but how many of you are actually willing to do serious sheetmetal work? you can't just hammer the original lip a little, we are talking about actually cutting, folding, and tack welding.

if you are interested, i'll be posting up photos of the work on my widebody SLK.

Most people chicken out at this stage....lol...
