from the picture, i can't tell if that is a panoramic roof or it's just painted black 
my fiancee is kind of upset they don't have a panoramic roof option for this car.

That defeats the purpose of having your direct competitor (M3) having a carbon fiber roof. Those panoramic roof weigh a lot and since they are on top of a car it affects the handling characteristics of a car dramatically. You were an Evo guy. Same reason why the MR has no sunroof and an all aluminum roof.

Roof is interesting for sure, but I am interested to see what mods they did to get 585hp and even more interested to see what the track times are. I'm still trying to figure out how to get those 19" AMG wheels in the U.S. from an MB dealer and not a third party website, any suggestions?

if it were up to me, i wouldn't even want the sunroof. :o I'm a simple man, that is why I could care less if the car had a keyless go, parktronic, rearview camera etc etc.

Yeah that one is def not a panoramic roof... I am going to see how much it would cost to paint the roof and mirros....
What do you guys think of painting the mirrors like this, I kinda like it...

Getting from third party is a lot cheaper....at least half the price...if you really wanna get it from the dealer, do a search on the forum. I remember seeing the part number for it and just take it to the dealer.

I did that to my mirrors. My upper part is blacked out just like the pic, then i just added the CF trims on top of it. It would look tight on white!

Those wheels even through a third party are not half the price, they actually work out to the same price as the dealer.

Called MB dealer in Dallas and Oklahoma City. They want $1600 each for the fronts and $1060 each for the rear. That's $5360 for these rims, without tires!!! Seems a little ridiculous to me, if anyone out there has access to a better deal let me know, I will make it worth your time if I can save some money. But please no after market wheels, only the 19"AMG C63 wheels optional on European model. Thanks again.
