Coupe incoming - day 1 mods?! - what r u doing!
What up.
Car should be here mid Sept. I am ordering wheels this week.
Suspension - does it make sense to do the kwv3 or use the weistec sleeve kit?
I plan on waiting to 1k miles and then doing downpipes, filters and a custom tune.
What are you doing!?

Nice!
Mine also arrives mid- Sept.
ASAP
1) KW HAS and spacers - Wider tires 265s/295s or 305s
2) 15% tints all around
3) Wrapping front grill black
Later down the track
4) Forged concave wheels - deciding between Vossen & Avd1
5) DP with tune

Sounds dope! I checked today. So far only kw v3 is out and the Weistec kit. Have you seen the kw has anywhere?

It should be available in the US market shortly.
What wheels are you going for?

I have 6 layers of ceramic pro on my sedan now and works a treat, apparently Modesta is next level from that!

I know there's a thread on here already touching in this but obviously different limits here in Oz (eg: 35% in QLD I believe).

I had my BMW tinted the same before the Merc.
15 & 20% works well its not too dark so when cops drive past they can still see inside.
No issues ever...!
Plus that QLD sun is much worse than Sydney - Def recommend it.

1. Tint
2. Black out any chrome thats left (Have night package/Carbon Fiber 1&2 already spec)
3. KW
4. Tune/Downpipe/Filter
5. Then MAYBE wheels, I'm a fan of the stock wheels I have ordered.
Interested in seeing other peoples lists.

I'm showing early October delivery to NY. I'm a fan of the mad scientists at RennTech, so a RennTech ECU tune is probably going to happen. First thing, though, is an audio system overhaul like the one outlined here.

Jhillman,
Concerning the audio system, I plan to do it myself. I don't want to lose the ability to listen to DVD-Audio, so I'm looking at various options that would maintain the multichannel information coming from the head unit. I've tolerated the HK Logic7 stuff in my past two Mercedes, but would really like to eliminate all compromises going into the new C63s.
Thanks for the posts concerning your experiences with RennTech. Truth is, the stock C63s is more car than I'll ever need, but it's so damn hard to not tweak and personalize these things!
