Lyyca's Modding Progress
 

What up guys!

Well, I had the car for less than 2 weeks. And I'm just enjoying this baby like crazy. I've already put about 800+ miles and filled up 4 times. And yes, the modding has already begun. So far, I got a CF front lip, CF diffuser, CF Roof spoiler, Tinted windows, Tinted headlight, fogs, and taillight, AMG hood emblem, LED license plate lights, blacked out side markers. I will be getting wheels soon as well and coils. I'm hoping to finish by end of this month or next month. Man, there's so many mods out there for our cars. Anyway, enjoy the pix below.

Looks great! If interested, you can get silver bulbs that glow yellow when lit to replace the bulbs in the front fender side marker lights. Gets rid of the "fried egg" look. Got mine on ebay.

I have those bulbs as well. I'll install them next time :)

very nice! cant wait to see your future mods

You work for iForged? Other than the obvious (plate) that place looks like their factory in Buena Park? I picked up wheels for my Mustang from them a few years ago, thinking about trying them out again for my C, haven't seen any wheels I liked on a c63. What're you going to go with?

The car is lookin great so far!
Looking forward to your future build. :y

Looks great thus far! Look forward to progression pics! :y

I-Forged makes nice wheels... I have a set on my Lexus IS300. Clean car OP... update this thread with your new mods.

Very nice mod so far. Are you going to blackout all the chrome parts?

Nope. I'm buddies with iForged. I may go with Forgedstars since they're so light and strong and performance-based. Not sure which model I want yet. But I'm leaning towards the popular F14's. I figured getting wheels with a lip may not go too well with our cars since we can run big lips. That's just me. :zoom:

Hell yes! hahaha I hate chrome! I need to get rid of my brown wood trim interior as well. Ugh, yuck yuck

Pretty car. Love the diffuser too.

^^ Thank you Sir :)

Update on progress!

Well yesterday morning, I did a slight mod on my exhaust. Like many on this forum, I went the inexpensive route and deleted my resonators and replaced it with straight pipes. And I must say I am very happy with the result. The car sounds louder in a subtle way and there's absolutely no drone. I'm not a big fan of the raspiness, and I'm glad the mod didn't create such sound. I do feel lesser restrictions; hence, the car does feel a little faster. I would def. recommend everyone to do this mod. It's so worth it. Check this short clip and let know what you think:

I will be getting my wheels some time in the next 2 weeks and my coil as well. Stay tuned folks. I am almost there :P

Very very nice an clean!

Wheels on and 2012 Grille
 

What's up guys! Here's my current update. Just got my wheels put on yesterday, it's Forgestars F14 with Matte Bronze finish and Today, I got my 2012 Grille installed and yes, you have to mod it a little to make it fit. But it looks great! Sorry about the crappy pix. When I have time, i pull out my DSLR. Enjoy!

Simply amazing car.. U have good taste in mods my friend!! Keep it clean.

What did you have to do to make the 2010 grill fit? Looks a lot better, imho

Do tell and how much was it?

Had to dremel the tabs so the clips would clip on since the 2012 grille holes are located differently than my old one. Its fairly easy but you have to be very careful because if you make the holes too big, otherwise it wouldn't clip on.

Haha it wasn't cheap. Around 5 bills but it's currently on backorder, I was lucky to be able to get it though. Hella expensive but it seems a lot of people want it.

Sounds easy to do. Five bills is sure a lot but the look is hot.

I think maybe matte bronze your chrome window trim...

Nice choice on the matte bronze Forgestars.
Looks great. :y

Nice to see that it fits :y
M grill keeps falling inside because the clips are loose. I'll have to change my grill so I'll probably go with this one.
