Thanks for the props guys.
Here are some updates. Front lip and diffuser installed. Fitment was pretty good on both of them. I am not entirely happy with the diffuser because it's not really that aggressive. I'll probably add some more CF to it and mod it a little...make it more in-line with the front lip.
Also, coming up next is a more aggressive spoiler...if I can find one haha.

Yeah I might black some stuff out. Next on the list is making some changes to the rear diffuser though.
What's next for you?

hmm well I am probably gonna take a break on the mods for some time. The next step is to fix my rear suspension (driver side rear wheel is rubbing). Find out what is making this "wharp wharp wharp" noise from the rear that happens once I hit about 30mph...

That it is. I've made some mods to the rear diffuser to balance it out a little. The car was too low in the front because of the lip and pretty mild in the back. This will change things a little
. I'll take some pics as soon as the foot of snow is cleared from my driveway.On a separate note...not that many spoiler choices out there for these cars. Sad.

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Love the spoiler...but I dunno if I can bring myself to pay like 1k for it...when something like that is 200-300 tops for any other car out there.
I might have a custom one made...it'll probably be cheaper haha.

So here's the updated diffuser. The car is a little more balanced now...not 2 inches off the ground in the front and 3 feet off the ground in the back. I'll take some better pics once the snow is gone...6 months from now ha.

Hey Bro,
The snow looks refreshing but I know at time its colder than he!!.
It is top down and BBQ weather in Florida right now but in the summer be prepared for smoking hot sidewalk cooking contest heat. The Humid air in the 99.s will make the worst cooling fan blow steam.
The car is looking great, only wish to see some tire smoke from it one day, mine is coming along good slowly but surely.
Cheers, Gator

Haha you killing me with the closeups. Let me get a spoiler first and some decent weather...then I'll do some actual pics.
Thanks Gator. As far as tire smoke...best I can do is slush for now...got another foot coming in today. Still, I'd rather deal with the snow than the humid...shirt sticking to your back summers.

The stock suspension on most AMG is far more resilient than most aftermarket setups. The AMG suspension is tuned for the HP and Torque of the car. AMG suspension starts to wake up around 80 mph and the car starts to react.
The lip is catching my eye as Nascar splitters are dominant in aerodynamic trends.
