C63 = disco ball on four wheels
When I bought my C63 I knew I had to get rid of all the chrome it was almost a deal breaker for me. That thing looked like a disco ball on four wheels.
I wrapped all the trim and pieces with 3M scotchprint wrap including upper door handles, trunk trim, trunk star, hood emblem, window trim, fog light trim, grill and star.
What still bugged me were the trim inside the head light below the eyelid and the exhaust tips. I had to paint them, wrap was not really going to hold up IMO.
The hardest was the trim inside the headlights. The lights had to be opened up in order get it painted.

I have to say, mercedes is the only brand Chrome seems fitting on. My S4 had Chrome (I bailed on the black optic package) and it looked goofy.
But, an all blacked out AMG is always glorious. Very very good looking ride!

^^ LOL I'm cheating a bit cuz another member was looking at buying the same wheel.
What tire size are you running? Any rubbing? Lowered?

Looks great! Any more closeup shots of the headlights? I did the headlights on my Lexus. Did you just use the oven method to open them? Thanks!
