Heya kids,

As some of you know the Dragon is in for another round of mods and they're actually a little more extreme than I've previously let on...

Here's a teaser of the car partially completed:



Muwahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I'll post all the details and build pics over the next few days...

Keith, I'm coming for ya', Buddy!

And moving around back... 2012 tails.

Got my SAM coded by whipplem104. They work perfectly and he got the coding done quickly.

I got them tinted and polished at evosport. Also quick and clean service.

Sorry for the crappy cell phone pic...

And inside the beastie... I finally got my seat bracket powdercoated. I was driving around with a rusty, unfinished bracket I made at Tecnocraft for over a year, and got tired of getting heckled for it:

(and again, sorry for crappy cell pic.)

Josh, so the 2012 tail lights are installed onto your vehicle with the fog light issue completely smoothed out? Would you please elaborate it in details? Thanks.

And would you mind sharing where to get this done in SoCal?

Merc-Skycap

Nice but where did the disco bulbs in the front go? lol

C63 Guy

Heya Balthaser, I didn't get it done in SoCal. I shipped the SAM up to whipplem104 in WA and he worked his magic on it with a 2012 car local to him. They work exactly as they should. No cut wires, no error codes. Perfect.

I paid a mint for it, but he said he'd cut a deal for a group buy.

Just take this puppy out and ship it to him, and voila:



And yes, at first it seemed like it was a bit of a PITA to dig out of the back of the car, but now that I've done it, it's pretty straightforward.

C63 Guy

Heaven?

And with a pair of 50W/6ohm resistors, I never have to think about them again.

Lookin good Josh!! Clean job on the fog light delete.
Btw any more info on that rear spoiler? Looks wicked!

Dome///AMG

Lol, I didn't notice that before I read your comment
Looks good Josh

C63 Guy

Thanks bro!

Yeah, I would have the front splitter back on the car too, but it uses UHB tape along the sides (with 5 M8 bolts and fender washers in front to keep it properly attached) and I didn't have any more handy...

Email them, they'll get you the deets:

Thanks for the info Josh!

elijah

Why the foglight delete? It looks awkward to my eyes

C63 Guy

So long as I'm getting thorough, this also happened:



Ceramic coated my evosport headers and added spring retainers FTW.

Because black parts are faster. That's why, futhermuckers!

And less heat in the engine bay is never a bad thing...


Josh

C63 Guy

Yeah, the angle isn't the best. In person it has a bit of an E46 M3CSL effect to it, which is one of my favorite cars. I've always thought the front of our cars were too busy with all the cuts and openings and whatnot and adding a splitter didn't help that. So now: no side markers, no headlight washers, no fogs and no problems.

Thanks Dome!

Josh

Faris63

Looks nice Josh

Do you get error codes from the fog and side marks delete ? or did whipplem104 code them as well

C63 Guy

Thanks!

No coding required. Resistors are your friend:

25ohm/25watt for the side markers and 6-8ohm/50watt for the fogs and I'm error free all around.

Although, it would be nice to get rid of the resistors too...

Josh

Roswell

Great job Josh... your car has always been my favorite cuz of the flawless job on the wide fenders... looks stock which is good!

BTW, back on HRE? What happened to your ADV?

AMGC60-3

Its Looking mighty fine Josh.

SMP

Josh, very nicely done!!! Still my favorite C63 ... glad you got rid of those boat anchors

balthaser

exactly. the resistors still emit quite some heat. especially the 50w ones for your fog.

not sure what you've done, but lots of ppl have to stick them against the metal parts/frame with heat conductive adhesive. luckily we're in SoCal where raining days are not many, or else you would really have to worry about the water proof issue

MNL ICE

like what I've always tell you.... I HATE YOU JOSH

noodleman

nice! What happened to that CF front lip you had before?

bhamg

Great to see you resurface bro! Trust all is well...

Dads C63

Josh,
Looks trick!! Nice job on the mods. Are you going to share any of the performance mods yet?

Coming for me - get in line. LOL

dodger63

O snap... It is a long line
