Sweet looking fleet! I recognize your handle from Rennlist!
Regarding plasti dip, is it necessary to remove badges to have them done or are they coated while on the car? I'm curious as I've ordered my Turbo S Cab with gloss black script on the rear and expect that plasti dip vs. Porsche Exclusive is a significantly LARGE delta!
My Porsche build freezes in the next couple days.
As sand stated... on the car; just spray, heat, spray, heat, spray, and peel. On my previous Turbos I just ordered the the black script from Suncoast and my GT3 had the black badges stock from the factory. I wish Benz had that on their addendum.

Ok thanks, I just watched a youtube application for plasti-dip and so I've changed my Porsche TTS built to include factory black script. Bit pricy, but it's proper and permanent.
Agree on the MB option addendum!
I drove a c63s coupe the day I bought my GT. The GM at the dealer was like "you have to drive this". It was pretty badass.
I have tried to love the m4 but I just can't. I tried to buy one twice. The car looked so plain to me that I held out for Austin yellow or yas marina blue but everytime I drove it I just hated the feel.
STUNNING! How is the drivability with the spacers? Do you notice any difference?
Zero difference to me- Im not tracking the car and it feels the same on the same roads I use when I drive this car. As long as they are hubcentric AND installed correctly with the right length bolts (6 turns is good) you wont notice. As I had mentioned in another spacer thread- Im running spacers on my M5 and my C63BS too with zero effects. It just has to be done right and Im glad Supremepower had them because I really like the OEM wheel setup. Even Porsche offers a spacer option on their 991.1 cars (7mm).

Which one did you watch... sometimes the vids are kinda cheesy but my guy is very good at what he does (Don Nguyen Wrap and Plasti). But if you can get it from the factory, thats optimal.

What spacers and size are you running on your C63BS?

Plastidip looks like it would become a bit ratty over time and require constant attention to avoid that.
I'm a bit OCD... so a permanent solution, ie. factory paint is definitely optimal!
Although on MB plastidip is the quickest and easiest solution, short of removal of all decals and trim to have professionally painted. Been there, done that... not much fun!
Looks good Vic, if I didn't have the ED1 stripe on it I would do the same, as it is I'm still tempted.
After seeing your photoshop pics, I think its best to just do the roof in black/gloss. Hardly anyone ever has that elevated view of your car (to see the stripe) and it just completes the pano thru to the rear glass.

Vic55 May I ask what % the LLumor Ceramic Tint you have on the rear 3 windows?! TIA
The entire car is 30%... I know the pic appears the rears are darker but thats just the way the lighting portrays it in that shot.
Wow, haven't seen a Diamond White C63 Coupe. I love it! Its literally a twin with my 2017 GT, with the color, wheels, etc. I was a 💯 BLACK ONLY kind-of-guy for years.... now my favorite combo is the stormtrooper look you (and I) have going on. Super classy!

Thanks my friend, I have been on the stormtrooper kick for a while now; I just really enjoy the view:
Geez Vic, what a tasty list of toys there. If you could pick a favourite car you have owned what would win the prize?
So thats a great question and 33 cars later (10 AMGs, 9 M's, 4 Audi's, 2 Ferraris, Jag, Bentley, 6 Porsches, etc) I would have to pretend technology was not there since its not fair to measure a car that is 10 years old vs whats out there now and pick this car below. For what value I got from it back in 2007 along with performance and a custom interior; its my fave:
Porsche Taycan, Range Rover AB, Range Rover SVR, S Class, Mclaren 570s, Urus Hybrid (soon), M3, RS6

I'm having some issues finding those photos- they were on a hard drive via an older computer which is now dead.
Basically it was all black alcantara (the entire inside including the steering wheel) with red stitching all over the place and carbon fiber offsets. The gauges were red too and even the floor mats were optional. The owner of the dealer built the car himself for a buyer who backed out and I swooped in. HRE already had give the store one of the first sets of the P40's so that car was dialed from the start (considering it was dec of 2006).
