So I will explain everything I did here since I cannot upload the pictures with captions!
1) Car has mostly all of the options except CCB's/Performance Seats.
2) Tail light have been painted to tone down the red. I also painted the rear bumper reflectors to match.
3) I installed Michelin 4S's on the front (255) and the rears (295) will going on next week. They currently are not available.
4) KW V3's have been ordered as well. Wheel spacers are up next.
5) Eisenmann exhaust should fit; will update once we attempt.
6) I did a full extensive paint correct on the vehicle; similar to my sedan. I wrapped the car in Suntek Ultra PPF. I did all of the major areas. Tints are Suntek Carbon with 80% heat rejection. 40% on the side, 70% Windshield, and 5% on the Pano. If you are in Middle/South NJ contact Don from Advanced Solar Control; there is no better.
7) I wrapped the rest of the roof black to match the pano; really changed the look of the vehicle.
8) I had the brake rotors ceramic painted black. I also changed the OEM brake pads to Porterfield. These are the same pads as the sedan & create less dust. While this was being done; I ceramic coated the calipers/wheels for dust.
9) The chrome "star" on the wheels I had painted matte to match the flange around the rim. Really subtle but nice touch.
10) I will do a full write up on the sedan vs. coupe. I know everyone wants to know the differences.

I had everything painted in Gloss Black. The trunk star cannot be removed from the piece it is attached it; I broke one trying to remove the tape. It's held on by two clips on the review camera cover.

Thanks for the info JPMBenz.
I always wondered how some people color the badges and it seems they either take them off and paint or leave them on and use plasti dip.
I will try plasti dip as I think removing the badges and put them on afterwards is not so easy. Also renewing the double sided tape so they stick again seems a hazzle. Just wished MB sold them in black...

FYI: On my buddies c63s coupe, we figured out how to remove the star. Put the car in reverse (or simply activate the camera) to "extend" the emblem. Then you will see that the actual emblem/housing will "slide" up and out. Once it is out, you will see the rear attachment, and the star can be removed. It is heavily 3M taped, with 2 small pins in the center. Just take your time and it will come off. Hope this helps!
