I still need my window trim wrapped as well as the chrome on the door handles, any idea on where i can go and an idea on the cost?? im located in North NJ
I'm such a sucker for gloss black trim pieces. Where did you get your rear emblems? Did you have them painted? and If so, how do you adhere them back on? Thanks!

First off AMG3.2 "You da man, You da man"....lol you might not catch that refrence but your build is soooooooo Fire!! i got pics of ya car trying to show the body shop what i want and if i can replicate it without buying those fenders(i guess its the fiberglass im trying to stay away from)
To answer your Questions: 6.3 & C63 badges were purchased from Chromecarletters.com(i found that site on 561designs build thread) They also have the star but i didnt order it by mistake....They also have the "AMG" badge but its for your model... so i had the body shop paint the Tri star and Amg logo...
I like you am a sucker for the "Gloss Black" Accents hence why i did all the bumper pieces the same as well.. the contrast between flat black and gloss didnt do it for me...
Also the badges on the site come with 3m tape already on the back of the pieces...

HA! Nice man. Thanks for the kind words. Car's looks sweet.
Whats up everyone, I powder coated my calipers recently(will provide pics soon)and wasnt sure on the decals!! To whomever can help me.. i purchased these off ebay(will include sellers name if someone else is interested) id like to know if these are correct..
i was on 561designs build thread and thought i recalled him speaking about a file he had on making the decals... couldnt find it again
Thanks for the thread! judging from the pics i think i have the right ones!!
i wanted to take better pics with the decals but hears a teaser!
Still got some more things to consider!(pretty sure i have a definite wheel choice) color def wont be black but hardware will be the same color as these "Copper Translucent"..
in def need of a drop but dont want to do just springs...ive read somewhere you said you werent impressed with KW's so outside of them not sure what route to go.. any suggestions???

I've had KW V1's and V2's and I've just never been a fan. I tried to buy some KW V3's from a forum member with the idea of re-valving since they were 30k deep, and most likely shot but that didn't go through.
I'm actually kinda happy about it since I went ahead and placed an order for Muller MSC-1's in 7k, 11k spring rates.
Build time is roughly 3 to 4 weeks, so after I get them on, I'll post a review which should give you some insight on the kit.
Are u still looking to get your window trim wrapped. i found a place in perth amboy that wanted 150 to do the window trim using 3M with lifetime warranty. I was going to take my gfs cla there too hope to get a discount maybe we can get a big discount with three cars?

Ok yeah ill def wait and look out for that! do you road race or anything??? i am gonna look them up now.. i saw a member with the kw's ddc which made sense to me but like i said im weighing options def...
Pic did no justice but what did u think of the caliper color?(was trying to do soemthing out the norm you know red,lambo green,red etc etc) truth be told that isnt the exact color imagined but its close(kinda copied what GTR calipers look like).... but when i take better pics the contrast of the pearl and copper looks really good... wheels will bring the caliper out more... and so will these decals...
for wheel choice im leaning towards "Rotiform KPS" powercoated in a darker gunmetal color or maybe a brushed clear with the hardware the "copper translucent color".......

i actually ended up wrapping the trim my self in dry carbon.... got the idea from C63AMGTOKYO he wrapped his door jams in that(still gonna do that too)
perth amboy? is it Champion? i think theyre in south amboy tho...Im friends with a guy thats real tight with them
Was doing this at night smh(no patience)... Wanted to get a visual idea of the contrast of calipers and decal..painted the rotor didnt sand well enough hence the drippage

Make sure to bed the sh*t out of the brakes after that paint. If you get any on the pads the first time you brake, you could get some shuttering down the road. Bedding them should wipe the pads/rotors surfaces pretty well.

Thanks! def worked out fine... thanks for the heads up
A lil update: This passed tuesday we got some really hard rain possible flooding in some areas. I myself ended up splashing thru one of these puddles(you know the ones where it splashes waves along side of the car where you feel the hydroplaning). Later in the day when i stepped out the car i noticed the condensation in the driver side headlight!! At the exact moment of me thinking about how it happened i get the warning on my dash saying "check low beam bulb"! It was out!! I assumed my aftermarket warranty would cover this, of course this was one of the EXCLUSIONS smh... The whole assembly itself cost $1600 i def didnt want to go that route so i diagnosed the problem myself being the techs was trying to scare me from messing with the assembly being its the "intelligent light system".. smh anything to get someone to let them perform the work with that crazy benz tax lol.. i should've taken more pics of the process but its pretty straight forward..
1-loosen bumper and all its clips
2-take out head light, heat it up to seperate lens from frame and go to town!
After seperating both IMO the driver side headlight was sealed poorly, tho this is my first sign of condensation since having it a whole yr now.. the reason the light wasnt working because the ballast under the assembly(the silver one) got wet.. this part cost $500 @MB smh but i ended up getting a new one for $350 from buy wise(oediscount) has it for around the same price.. trouble shooting what caused the light to stop working became easy once i took the passenger side out(i didnt decide to do the customization of these till this part) being i had to test the other ballast on the driver side light to see if it was the bulb or not(which it wasn't)..
Now to the part im proud of! i was intimidated to take these apart being i knew the price of things if i happen to **** anything up.. but putting that emotion aside i did it cuz hey " i needed my car" Whole process took me 3 days being i work days and it gets rather dark out fast lol..
Any questions about the whole process id be happy to ask
Before & After!! Subtle but pops to me!: Pics of them on the car and better quality later this week

Reason: terrible visuals
Lol I like how you just comment "Damn these pics suck/wow" after a few of your photos xD
Glad you got the problem sorted. I'm pretty sure on prefacelift you have to remove the entire grill to get to the headlights [not that I've bothered to read into it]
