Custom C63 AMG Justifies the Term "Big Body Benz"



Body image is a hot topic these days, among other things, and this 2015 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG wide-body sedan is just another example of why there's nothing wrong with being hippy.

Indeed. Also that the branding changed from C63 AMG to AMG C63.

Seems the editor was going off the website/article which they state is an AMG...*cringe*. The customer has the badging and all, even swapped out the steering wheel lol.

They might've just ordered the sport package which comes with the flat bottom steering wheel - I have the same one but it doesn't have the engraved "AMG" lettering on the bottom of steering wheel. Also his gauge cluster is not from an AMG.

He should've got his car with AIRMATIC then he'd have airbags from factory lol - just buy lowering links. Not a bad looking car in my opinion but definitely wrong choice of wheels.

I was trying to get a closer look at the front splitter but there aren't any high-res pics. I know a lot of non-amg guys would be interested in some sort of add-on to their OEM chrome splitter.

One of the reason this brand is gradually losing its soul!!! For the non educated eye you cannot make the difference between real and fake AMG
That is sad!!

no no no you have it other way around, the brand is regaining some its mojo. Amg's of old were very subtily styled. you had to look at and e55 for a while to realize it wasn't a e320. That's what was so appealing, its a an athlete in a tuxedo. Amg's are supposed to be sleepers, it looks like a plain sedan but goes like stink. If I wanted to draw attention to my self I would buy a gtr, or maybe a c6 vette.

I agree with your response. AMG 's are luxurious high powered subtle vehicles that are timeless.

I wanted to have a sleeper. Regarding my car, all signs are removed (V8, AMG, C63s). In most of the cases, when parked, it stays unnoticed. However, once you start the engine, it will be noticed. Actually it is rather funny, people do not expect the sound.
