the spelling was close enough. Glad I could help out! The beast looks great though and can't wait to see what's going to be done. It is very hard to find the perfect car with all the options you want (unless you want to wait for a long *** time) but at least you got something really close and whatever is missing...you can always add it afterwards. Great pics also!

lol i was close!! thanks man i appreciate it...in my first month i had dude(cant recall his username) sent me the info on my car when i gave him my vin # only thing is when i was researching what some of the codes mean vs what i had on my datacard some **** wasnt matching up...i dont know... i kinda skimmed it to be honest so maybe i should go over it again or ask someone to look at it that knows more about the options... if im not mistaken maybe my gripe was something that said track something but i didnt or dont know what its reffering too!
um so far i installed a "Sprint Booster" def no lag in throttle response
I have a set of jbspeed.com "Carbon mirror covers" im waiting to arrive in the mail as well "smoked side markers" ordered from fishcake on ebay(everyone on here says good things about him)
i want to either paint or order Gloss black emblems, Front Gill gloss black or buy a Carbon fiber one(if theres even a product), Wrap window Trim, Paint or order gloss black DRL housing.
Def a drop... but not sure which route i want to go.... springs would be a cost effective option but might not give me the drop i want and or im concerned about the stock shocks with the drop..
Paint brake calipers
and replace the peeling seat master switch as i did my window switch(will post pics of that in a few in here)
im gonna take my wheels to get refinished and done in Gunmetal
these are plans im gonna do in the upcoming weeks just to make the car feel more personalized... i have way more plans but this is just a short term plan ill def keep this thread updated with progress

Great. Good luck with that. Post some end result pics
You scratched out your plate in one pic but not the other btw :P
Welcome
Rotfl...i sent that pic out to comrades first when i originally got the car and 1 of them was posting it on IG so i sent that 1 with the blurred out plates...normally i dont care... like on here im not blurring my plates out for future reference...This isnt mine or my town(but i aint far from it) & for reasons like this is why i sent that pic to him

car looks great, definitely grab some clear sidemarkers asap. what interior are you equipped? i notice you're non-p31 so no suede on the steering wheel, good choice imo!

i agree the suede on the steering wheel would have bugged me overtime... i have the classic red/black interior i'll post pics of the interior in a few being i want to show the changing of my master window switch(still need to switch out the master seat controls as well)
Welcome and happy to hear you are liking your C63. The modding has begun!
Yeah i love it more and more everytime i drive it... i think what appeals to me the most is the "wolf in sheeps clothing" aspect...
I will probably be seeking you out for some advice or suggestions... ive been lurking for a few months and you and a select few of others seem to very knowledgeable about these cars...in different areas of them... so look out for me lol... but thanks for the love nonetheless!
can anyone tell me how you can reply to two or more people in the same "reply thread"? ie: when people quote 3 more people in their response to answer them all
Welcome to the family and congrats on your C63... Looks sharp!
It's tough not to drive this car! Drive safe...
For the chrome bits, I just wrapped them in satin black vinyl... front grill, window trim, drls and rear trim above license plate... turned out great!
For the smoked turn signals you might also want to consider LEDs by azn optics.

Going off of memory but I think there is only suppose to be one bulb. It is a accent glow (suppose to be dim) it shines directly onto the console/buttons. It matches the ones in the door panels and buttons as well. Also removing the rear view mirror light is a pain in the ***.

ohhhhh if there's only supposed to be one lit under the rearview then i should be good.....i noticed only the passenger side one under the rearview was illuminated and was wondering if it was supposed to be like that.....was already dreading changing it.. looked at it like "how the EFF am i gonna change this" lol...
this was an eye sore!! didnt even notice it was peeling during the test drive and purchase..
better view
incase any of you never seen what your door skin looks like... taking the panel off was nerve racking.. but with patience and Lq one can do anything
This piece is the nightmare!!!!! as ive heard if you break it it cost a million from dealer and a pretty penny on ebay( no breaks or cracks here though)
This foam material ****!!! was a pain as well... i didnt remove it at all though or rip.. i have somewhat small hands so i manuvered
There are these 2 tabs on each side of the window switch.. if one does it themselves becareful not to just yank it out.. Use something flat or small and try pushing the tabs from the inside.. the tabs can get caught on the surrounding leather and come loose(had to glue one side back down)
Bought this off a user on here(Jas0ndotcom)... cool dude and expedites things promptly... (needs to get my seat switch off him)
Finished Product!!! even if have to repeat for the seat switch..still felt accomplished doing this

I was the exact same when I first noticed it. Thought it was really weird but then read about it somewhere that it's suppose to be like that.
Great job on the controls though, wasting no time at all .
My Review: Very well made!! and the fit is pretty damn good!! the pics online do them no justice at all.. Seeing them in person and on the car,i just cant stop looking at them..
Taking these off is kind of scary @ first.. One is to busy worrying about breaking somethng. Minus the noises you hear when pullin them off its quite easy. The tricky part for me was getting the indicator lens out the original covers. The middle tab was glued to the lens itself(only front portion of the tab) Id recommend nail polish remover.. THOUGH!!!! if you do go that route have some compound on hand cuz the remover will kinda eat away at the plastic.Leaving fog and spider cracks
Before & After
Inside the covers quite alot of dirt and dust builds up... i cleaned the plastic off with a micorfiber cloth a cute tip and any kinda of cleaner.. i used alcohol
I'll post better pics of the mirrors on the car in a few with a better camera(not crappy cell phone)... just wanted to show what the steps look like..
