09 c63 amg
New c63 owner San Jose CA

Whats up guys finally picked up a car i've wanted for a long time. Always wanted one in mars red black interior with low miles and decently priced. Finally came across one and pulled the trigger a little over a month ago. It already had fortune auto coilovers, revozport bumper, carbon diffuser, carbon spoiler, roof spoiler, mid-pipe, and a eurocharge tune, that was def. a plus for me. Since ive gotten it heres what i've done.

- Re-painted the revozport bumper and closer off the lower indented fake holes
- full led interior, full led exterior, yellow high beam bulbs, door projector leds
- 2012 rear bumper with big fin CF diffuser
- Duckbill spoiler
-Wrapped black roof
-vorsteiner rep skirt add ons
-eye lids
-carbon steering wheels with black per. leather and red stitching, red paddle shifters
-color matched window visors

Hope you guys enjoy this content so far. Will be modding a little bit more in the near future, i may have modded a bit too fast.

I see you love RED! Maybe want to explore some contrast, but the mods are interesting. Never seen the window vents.

wheel is from a local company here who does them, my contact was a dude named josh. if you want a quote just dm him on IG @joshv408 and he can give u a quote and what not. you can chose leather, suede, in any color stitching in any color and carbon weaves in and weave. however u have it imagined in your head he can get it done.

Go with carbon! Love me some CF. And love the steering wheel? DCTMS right? I got the same one. Love it. How do you find the stick-on paddles? I couldn't bring myself to buy a set because just didn't seem like they'd hold very well, or would flex. I wish someone made full aftermarket PFL paddle replacements.

Where did you get the door projectors?

Just curious, this wasn't the car for sale in Brea, CA, was it?

oh yah for sure, theres def a good amount of cf already hahaha waiting for a few more parts actually. the paddles arent just stick on they have these line allen bolt things that lock it in place. i believe someone does make a full carbon replacement i remember seeing it.

Nice car but the red window things are horrible. Sometimes less is more. But good luck with the car.

never understood the purpose of those window visors. i'm definitely not a fan. i also would have kept the side skirts cf instead of painting them. same thing with the rear spoiler. that contrast would have helped bring the car together a little better imo. looks good though. steering wheel is nice and i always wished i had that front bumper when i had my pre facelift. congrats on the purchase and enjoy the car!

Congrats on the purchase and welcome to the club. I'm in Fremont and would love to get the Bay Area guys together for at least a meet and possibly a drive.

Welcome and congrats! I saw your car in the picture thread earlier...as previously stated by jim_case, as long as you like it, that's all that matters.

Ahh, Yeah Brea is about an hour southeast from Sherman Oaks, just north of Anaheim. Thanks for the info on the door projectors.

If you smoke it lets you have the windows open to let the smoke and ash out without letting rain in. At least, that's what I used them for. I like the WellVisor brand.
