Updates on my amg Forgestar CF5, H&R, MATTE BLACK TRIM, CARBON FIBER ETC.
Hey guys, well my car has come a long way in such little time since i bought her last november. So far i have installed H&R springs, Forgestar CF5'S , smoked side markers, i blacked out the window, door, and grill trim, i have also added a Carbon fiber rear lip. I know there are very little pics of c63's with cf5's so i thought id take some pictures, im not a professional so pardon my sloppy photography skills.
Specs on the car:
Engine:
-Kleeman Manifolds
-Eurocharged Tune
-K&N filters
-Cat Delete
Exterior:
-JL motoring rear CF trunk lip
-Blacked out trim
-Smoked Side Markers
-Forgestar CF5 wheels
-Nitto Invos
Suspension:
H&R springs
Coming soon:
-CF Front lip ( Help me choose one i cant decide )
-CF Rear Diffuser ( Ideas anyone on which one to go with )
BTW: Thanks to ACG for their great customer service when i purchased my forgestars from them.
When i first picked up the car:
How she sits as of today
Bonus pic of my W210

I used matte black vinyl.
Not yet my next shoot will be in the day hopefully i have a CF lip and diffuser by then.
Thanks man
I went with nitto invos 235/35/19 in the front and 265/30/19 in the back
They are not actually color matched, if you see them carefully they have a sort of texture plus they have a bit more bronze color plus they are kinda matte.
19x8.5 in the front and 19.10 in the back i asked peter @ acg for a more aggressive fit on the rear and its perfect looks very flush.
Thanks man yeah CF lip is coming what brand or model do you suggest?
Thanks man i always built my cars with similar color schemes lol
This was my 2008 evo x same color theme as well

nice!
out of curiosity, what's the offset on your wheels in the rear?
asking because I am running the same wheels and am thinking about dropping the car..
any issues with rubbing? you have h&r's correct?
enjoy the car - gorgeous.

Thanks for the comments guys feedback is greatly appreciated.
Encore trim here in san antonio texas shawn does a great job if anybody needs info around the san antonio area pm me.
I forgot the offset but i will check my order tomorrow. I do have h&r's it rubbed a bit but i rolled the rears just a tad and no more trouble seriously it was rubbing by less than a mm.

Looks really nice with the wheels, I see you got your C63 from Straight Line, I bought from them before as well.
