How is the ride now compared with factory set up?
Are the H&R coilovers just height adjustable?

That's so hottttttttttttttt

obsidian05e55 11-28-2010 12:49 AM

Ride is better than stock, and yes they are only height adjustable..

The car looks pimp!! I thought about painting my spoiler to match the car paint but I also like the flat balck on red. How much was it to paint the spoiler if you don't mind me asking?

Car looks incredible bro :bow:

Leave the Radenergies off... stockers look so much better with your set up IMO.

The car looks amazing obisidian :y nice work on the detailing. And the lip is very aggressive - IMO too aggressive.

Just as a tip - if you want to black out your mirror turn signals, do it completely. Don't leave the LED strip white. It makes the mirrors look like they came from the last generation MBs e.g. w203 and w211. Also the effect of LEDs shinning from under the paint/vinyl is really great :y

That is beyond clean!! The drop and the lip look perfect.

Radenergie are great wheels but I wouldn't go with 20's though. It'll take away the performance of the car.

obsidian05e55 11-28-2010 09:21 AM

Thanks guys!

The lip was painted by a friend with a shop at no charge. I assume it would be around $150 though.

I def like the way you did your mirrors, going to do mine that way. Id really like to get the new style, can't justify $2500 for mirrors.

I took my Rads off because the 20" are definitely to big, and slowed me down a little. I'm trying to sell them, and looking for a set of 19" wheels.

+1. The car looks great but will need an agreessive trunk spoiler to make it absolutely "mean" and balanced!

obsidian05e55 11-28-2010 10:14 AM

Ok, ok... So what trunk lip do you guys recommend? I think I may go with the Arkym add-on. The Vorsteiner/MCD one is a little too much for me. Don't know of any others. :nix:

Wish we could get a trunk lid like the Ericsson M3, or Arkym M3. That would probably look good.

Roswell 11-28-2010 01:44 PM

Arkym add-on spoiler looks weird... but it might look good on your black car. I ordered the BOCA big trunk spoiler... I will post pics once I receive it. It's going to the bodyshop to get a special custom paint scheme, and installation will have to wait this spring.

I do remember reading about Dads_C63's plans for a trunk lid with a built in spoiler in his vented hood thread. :naughty:

Walter, what about something similar to my BOCA big trunk spoiler?

Isnt this the same as the Vorsteiner/MCD Big trunk lip?

DCTMOTORSPORTS 11-30-2010 02:52 PM

Painted lip looks much better than I thought
 
The color matched paint installation came out really nice!
I originally thought this lip functions as a "lower portion" part add on to the front bumper, but now the lip looks more integrated to the front end!
Like this angle, very aggressive!!
Nice job Walter :y

Thanks Ivan,

I sent you a PM about the C-Style lip. Let me know how you want to handle it.
Also, i may be interested in the Arkym Trunk lip.


Thanks

-Walter

khmergod 11-30-2010 03:04 PM

Confirmed. Fast and the Furious 5 will include modded C63 and rice body kit.:naughty: Ok Ok I lied. But that lip painted does look like a whole front bumper mod, and that's not a bad thing. Mix of style and rice. But not too much. Tasty rice.

obsidian05e55 11-30-2010 03:12 PM

Uncle Bens Rice? :p: If anything it looks more DTM, than JDM. No?

khmergod 11-30-2010 03:14 PM

Didn't mean any offense. Yea you're right it's more DTM, it hasn't reached the rice stage. DTM>Rice. Thanks for pointing that out.

No offense taken. Maybe if i had some of those aluminum lip adjusters, and big CF canards, than we're getting into the "rice" stage.. :D

looks hot! do something about those side mirror chrome! lol

KCviper 11-30-2010 07:13 PM

I'm not sure if it's the same as the MCD... but it does look like it. It's definitely different from the Vorsteiner which angle higher.
