Haha this literally made me LOL. But I will definitely make a mental note so I don't sound a fool when calling HRE to inquire about the brushed aluminum with tinted clear P43. Thanks for keeping me educated

Don't let me influence you... color is all about your preferences, so if you like black go for it!! HRE can custom paint your wheels to any color u want.

Look at CoolPh bronze HRE... it looks so sick on his red car!! But his are 20inch.

sha1na_AMG

Hah well you are not completely influencing me but you are definitely opening my eyes to other options. I am a girl therefore I am a compulsive buyer I don't really have the scope to reach out and explore unless it is presented to me. hah. So I am glad I got to see a pic of your car with your brushed aluminum with tinted clear rims (I think I got it right that time), it just gives me more options to think about and I can make the best possible decision based off that. And out of curiousity is there a significant ride difference between the 18's and 19's?

CoolBDPhenom03

Hah, thanks mate.

Most folks here say that 19"s are the best blend of stance and ride comfort. You're down south though so you might be able to get away with 20"s.

I had an OS Giken LSD from Renntech installed in my edition one. It performs well but is expensive. There is a cheaper one from Quaife you can get from ACG in San Diego.

My main advice is think about how you want to care for he car because you can't use automatic car washes with the edition 1. If you don't mind washing it by hand then it is very easy to car for.

I love the black interior with red stitching, out of all the options it is my favorite. Before my dealer offered the Edition 1 I was set on carbon fiber trim but I actually really like the aluminum trim, it helps lighten the black interior.

Hi CoolBD! I never knew you had bronze rims on your car any pics on the forum? That sounds pretty cool.

Yea I don't want to get anything that will create too harsh a ride. That is why I stayed away from the M3. Do you know of anyone on here who has 20's on their C63 especially the coupe and how it looks? And also you don't think I'll look like a super poser with 19's or 20's right? Granted I probably already look like a poser to some considering my ultra girlyness soon to be driving around a C63

sha1na_AMG

Hi CaliSun! Yea I am still pretty boggled with the whole LSD thing. I think I might just go ahead and drive one w/o it to see how much of a difference it will make for me.

I don't mind washing it by hand as I wash my current car by hand. I probably will still wash the diamond white one by hand so I don't think that is as big a worry. And I love your input on the aluminum as I was unsure as to whether I should stick to that or go with the CF. At this point I am figuring I can always change that out later. hah.

But thanks for your advice

CaliSun

Hi Sha1na,

You're welcome. I drove my car for about a month without the LSD and there were only a couple times I had a problem. One was trying to pull into a friend's driveway in San Francisco, the driveway was steep and on a hill so when I got the front wheels onto it the back wheels would lose traction and just spin. I couldn't come at it win any speed because the nose would hit. The other was a similar thing in a parking garage with a very steep ramp. That and accelerating from a traffic light in the rAin are probably the cost common uses of the LSD in day to day driving.

It just rained here yesterday so the car is dirty but here are some older pics of mine when I got it.

Granted that I don't have to worry about as many steep inclines in San Diego minus a couple structures, I think the LSD will come in handy. I guess the bigger question now is OEM or aftermarket.

And honestly your car is a beauty. Like I mentioned in a earlier post it reminds me of the bat-mobile but in a good way. I would probably feel like cat women or something if I end up getting the edition 1. How about you do you ever feel like batman or a super hero after driving? Hah. I dunno the drive/ride is just so amazing in these cars

CaliSun

It gets lots of attention! People ask if they can touch it, I guess they expect it to feel rubbery or something. I don't really feel like a superhero in it though. Lol

sha1na_AMG

Lol. That's funny. My mom was telling the dealer that all their matte colors remind her of people who shower but never put lotion on, so the color reminds her of dry skin. I personally beg to differ because if I don't get the edition 1 I wouldn't be surprised if I end up doing some sort of matte silver wrap. Tahaha you should feel like a superhero considering how super fly your cars is and for the record you are talking to someone who literally just turned 24y/o, 10 minutes ago so my maturity level is slightly questionable. Hah. So sorry for any of my strange comments like the superhero one

c63edition1

i actually wanted a car just like you want (white) but then saw the edition 1 and fell in love. Ask whether it's been modified at the factory or not, ive seen and edition 1 that costs around 80k new with EVERYTHING... mine cost 72 new and did not have LSD, so the CPO'd one will probably have more options than my car (see my logic?). that being said, you can deffinetly negotiate the price, i saw an edition 1 with 15k miles go for $59k

CaliSun

Happy Birthday!!

Don't worry, the superhero comment wasn't the first time I heard that, one of my friends called it the bat mobile too, that and Darth Vader are popular names for it.

sha1na_AMG

Hi C63edition1! I will probably swing by the dealership that has the edition 1 before I go order the diamond white one and I will definitely ask what modifications have been done. And thanks for the information on the price I will definitely look into what kind of deal I can get from that edition 1 if i decide to move forward with that one. Thanks again for the info

sha1na_AMG

Hi CaliSun! Thanks so much. haha. I think I will look like those two little yellow ***** a little later in the day

Hah I like bat mobile because you are still the superhero, the darth vader one kind of makes you sound like a villain. And the C63 is almost never a villain

brooklync63

Edition 1. Done. Do it.
Obviously I'm biased.
I love my car. I get stopped all the time.
It is amazing.
Need I say more?

Hi Lon! Thanks for the info. I have heard of this, where exactly are you located? Like in the escondido area? or further towards oceanside? I was thinking of dropping by just to see all the wheels you guys have in person

CoolBDPhenom03

Check their website. They're in Carlsbad.

sha1na_AMG

I had to linger over your pictures for a bit but all I can say is WoW. That is a magnificent sight. Even more inspiration for me to further think about this edition 1 more thoroughly. Thanks for the pics

CoolBDPhenom03

Here is the link to the pictures in my garage folder. There are some Vorsteiner rims pictured in some of the earlier photos that Vivid took, but I do not have those. I have the P43S in SATIN bronze. You can also see more pictures of my car on the HRE website.
