Just got my 2012 C63, have a few questions...
Hey Guys,
Well I finally experienced the moment all of you had at one point. I picked up black/black 2012 C63 4dr about a week and a half ago. I love the car, but the break in period has been testing my patience like nothing else. Can't wait to give it a proper thrashing past 1k miles.
I've been enjoying the car too much and haven't had an opportunity to snap any good pictures yet. However, I have been browsing the forum about a week before I knew it was on the delivery truck. So just I wanted to ask a few quick questions. The car is a lease and I was planning on doing a proper blacked out look like I had on my previous car Lexus IS350. I was planning on painting the tail lights, badges, and the misc chrome parts. The car had the chrome door handle package(lucky me). Since its a lease does anybody know if I'll have to pay a penalty when the car is returned or Ill have to somehow get everything back to its original form.
Also I have been reading a lot about ECU tunes. There are quite a few options out there, however the RennTech tune = 517 HP for $2,250 seems to be the best bang for the buck. What are your thoughts/recommendations?
Again, I'm excited to posses the beast and be a member of this community.
Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
1. You need to contact the dealer / leasing company and ask them direct. "tastefully" done mods would be ok I would, but that's objective.
Can't offer anything on the Renntech question.

Thanks Troy,
The car is leased through MB Financial. I dont think asking the actual sales person would do any good since I knew more about the car than he did.
