2014 E63 mods, lowering, paint wheels, calipers?

I am new to the online forum and I'm really excited to interact with all of you experts. This is my first Mercedes having owned multiple BMW in the past. 650 convertible, 328 convertible, and 750 Li among others. Loving the e63 but I think it needs a little spice. Just tinted the windows so far (will post current pics later but here is pre-tint). Any thoughts? I was thinking to change the caliper color to red and maybe powder coat the wheels a gunmetal or black... I'm not sure about lowering the car after reading in the forums about the rear airmatic. I guess I would only lower the fronts and that seems to be kind of a waste and I'm not sure I want to affect the ride quality either. Thanks in advance for your help!

Forgot to add that I might do a Renntech carbon fiber rear spoiler. Not too gaudy right?

Hi

Nice E63!! Red calipers would look sick, and so would the Renntech spoiler.

Welcome to the forums, be sure to check out the E63 section!

Welcome to MBWorld. If you're going to powdercoat the wheels, I'd suggest wrapping the window trim as well so you get that continuous blacked out side profile. Personal aesthetics though.

Lowering will be a pain due to airmatic. I know some who have just scrapped the air suspension and gone back to more reliable, predictable, and cheaper to maintain steel suspension.

Welcome to MBWorld! If you ever need anything be sure to let me know. I like the gunmetal wheel idea. Always been a fan of that wheel color.
