Plastidipped Wheels & Rear Emblems
Just got my 2014 C63 yesterday, and had to start eliminating the silver/chrome little by little!
Wheels are plastidipped gloss/satin black, and look phenomenal. Makes the orange calipers really pop now.

Going to try and install my RennCarbon CF Trunk lip tomorrow, and dip the chrome front LED surrounds.

No, I think the whole black roof is played out now and looks outdated. I had gloss black roof wraps on so many cars now, I actually started hating the whole gloss black roof look haha.
Nope, still have much more planned (mostly cosmetics).
No lol.

HR Springs! Just installed mine today with 17mm spring pads. Love the look! Although, I think I may want to go to 13mm pads. The previous owner had 5mm pads on!
The wheels look really good on white.

The car actually already has a great stance to it imo. Being a daily driver, I'm not going to lower it for now. Maybe some wheel spacers and that's about it for the stance.
. I always loved the white/black combo.

Vipertoad, did you do the wheels yourself or have someone else do it. Reason I ask is I noticed a Saguaro Catcus in one photo, which tells me you live in Arizona and so do I. If you had someone else do it, I'd like the name. If you did it yourself, how many gloss coats did you use, it looks fantastic!
Thanks,
Glenn

Plastic chrome trim off? What are you referring to?

Hey man, yeah I live in Gilbert, AZ. I did the dipping myself, I've done dozens of wheels now, and even dipped full cars before. I did 3 coats of the gloss on these
Thanks for all the kind words!

Yea, looked like East Valley, I'm at Ray and Kyrene in Chandler. I keep trying to talk myself into this, but some plastidip looks dull, I really like the gloss you added. Great job! And I also agree with your comment on stance, I never thought these cars needed lowering, they look perfect the way they are and ride great on our sometimes rough roads!
