I guess I'm very "humble" too

This actually kind of annoys me. I have a GF that I think is hot. I drive a regular car, so I'm just a regular dude with a pretty girl. But once I get the c63, people might think I'm rich and shes a gold digger LOL

You can throw everyone off base by telling them she owns the C63 and you're just a gigolo!

WRONG! Just call Sean Hannity, he will tell you how humble I am. Why is nobody calling Sean Hannity?!

I definitely agree with your experience Jim! I've never gotten so many positive comments from everyone too; men, women, old people, and young people... I also get so many people taking photos as well, but, then again I contribute it to either the license plate, the wrap color, or the car itself (or a combination, lol).

That matte wrap color looks really good, and it especially highlights the red brake calipers! VERY nice.

Thanks Jim! Yeah, it's a great color. However, I just moved out here in Monterey, CA and for some reason, my wrap is starting to discolor. It looks like rust on the wrap, like a patina, lol. So, it's gonna be a rewrap for me with the same color. I need it anyways since the roads out here are so dirty that I got a bunch of rock chips on the front bumper...

Yeah, not sure if there's an exact name for it, but it's a bronzed grey.

If you google the name of the wrap you'll see another BS wrapped this same color.

Haha, yeah, that's my car. The previous owner was the one that wrapped it. That's why I couldn't remember the name (he mentioned it to me when I bought it). But, thank you for the exact nomenclature!

So I found same thing - although my car does not look COMPLETELY like a C63 and it definitely doesn't SOUND like one - but because it has a few C63 attributes (diffuser, exhaust tips & headlights) - I've been asked by MULTIPLE high school (and younger) students and a number of them said same thing - "That looks like the car from my X-box / PlayStation game ........"

At least that's my take....

Thanks, rswaltz1614. I really, really like this car. I had avoided Mercedes cars because they are costly, complex, and - I incorrectly thought - Mercedes doesn't build hotrods. Now that I found this one and bought it and have driven it for almost 3 months so far, I am smitten. The sheer range if capabilities is impressive. I am glad though that I got that aftermarket warranty as part of the deal. From what I have read on the forum about cost of repairs, it seems that really hot Mercedes cars evidently are a bit like really hot women: somewhat "high maintenance"!

i'm pretty sure these kids notice your car because kids these days spend 60% of their lives on YouTube. of those times, i'm sure one of them has glanced over at the automotive side. of that automotive side the prevalent cars that "hoon" are Supra's, GTR's, and probably the C63 when you start moving into nicer cars. The C63 is probably the most heavily aftermarket modified of any Mercedes today.

nobody notices my E63 one bit...i have a custom paint job, wheels, lowered, long tubes, and a tune. i still fly way way way under the radar. only guys in modified imports swing their heads my way when i'm driving by. even then its not many.

So, when there is a police radar trap, the officers probably look at whatever sportier looking car happens to be beside you on the road! Stealth has advantages.
