Small cosmetic mods?

Just recently got a 2013 C63 and I'm looking for some small mods available. I bought metal door pins, I know those are just screw on/off, and smoked turn signals. Any other small mods available?

I think the diffuser makes the biggest difference (other than the wrapped trim listed above). The plastic one, especially on the pre-FL, looks very weak and cheap. A carbon spoiler conpliments a new diffuser well but isn't needed nexessarily.

I've been trying to find a shop to wrap the trim... Will be debadging soon.

I have the facelifted version. But agreed, a carbon fiber diffuser would look much better. Recommendations for where to buy one?

I have an RW Carbon one for the pre-FL and it's pretty nice. No issues with it. I think they make one for the FL car also.

If you consider wheels/tires a small mod, that will change the whole look of the car.

Window tint or removing secondary cats could be other small mods.

2 Things....

Lower car on springs (even with stock 19 inch wheels) a lowered car will handle a bit better and look a lot nicer with less wheel gap.


Tune your car - it feels like a whole new monster.

Small mods that not only make the car "look" the part, they help it perform better.

Are 275 able to fit without rub on lowered rears? 19x9.5 rims.

Is your car wrapped or painted matte? Would you mind sharing where you got it done and how much it cost? I am in NJ as well.

In the category of small and cosmetic, I did a couple things.

AMG Steering wheel trim (same as the one you have but has AMG badge instead of black piece that says airbag).

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-genuine-...JWLy7c&vxp=mtr

AMG Badge for grill since it should have had that too in my book.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mercedes-Ben...BZMFNQ&vxp=mtr

I just attached with 3M emblem tape.

Wheel spacers help the exterior look quite a bit, 12mm up front 10mm in the rear.

Red seatbelts like the Black Series, takes a bit of work to get the right ones and pricey new, a bit cheaper used (W204 sport models of the C class had them 2013 or newer if optioned with red).

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=...05865624874152

Shift boot from 507

http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Genuine-...1UuEk~&vxp=mtr

Newer Hood badge that is all black instead of blue or lots of other choices also

http://www.ebay.com/itm/2010-ON-MERC...RZlNrJ&vxp=mtr

6.3 fender badges from Black Series

Also only fronts are screw on for the door pins, if you have a sedan, rears are harder and you have to take the door card off to do it properly.

Add a carbon spoiler and diffuser for sure, completely changes the car.

Tints are done 20% all around, got that stupid chrome bar on the trunk dipped black. Door pins are swapped with metal ones. Side markers incoming.

Tint shop quoted me $130 per side to black out the window trim... Is that similar to what you all have paid?

you said the car is getting debadged. It will look soooo clean like that. I wouldn't ruin it with a cheap looking badge stuck into the grille where it doesn't actually belong.

see if you can snag one of these hood badges too. Maybe he will get more made.
