Great an S600!

Congratz!!

Tune..
Wheels- 20/21/22 inch
Lowering- Module/Links/Star
Tint-Windows
Wrap-Gold/Silver or Matte
Bodykit-Lorinser/Mec/DeWald/Carlsson/Vitt

Something with exhaust mods (not to my taste for this car).

Cpt.Joe1983

Marthyh i was wanting 22"s but i read on here somewhere about rolling the fenders? Whats that and where do i get it done...and as far as body kits..i think ima mix n match...eros has awesome front end..but i like wald rear end the most..i just bought the car..ill have it fully customized with paint in 7to8 months

Chris The Swede

Not the wald rear..Looks horrible..

Cpt.Joe1983

I like yhe wald rear end with the diffuser ...lol but what can i say ima typical american...the Black Bison kit looks amazing but to hell with $20,000 for a body kit

marthyh

About the 22" 's there is some expertise here on the forum,(again to my taste too big and not MB-approved)

Personally I tend more to go to Lorinser style :classy not too agressive,but appreciate
http://www.vitt.jp/Aero/S_W221-swe%E...%E2%85%A1.html as well.

Btw picked up a roof-spoiler painted and all (perfect match) on Ebay from Taiwan: excellent fit see attached pic.(my modding has begun,smal but a start-hehe)
Changes the rear of the car just enough-recommendable-

Cpt.Joe1983

Yea i found some 20" rims i want..i think the fender rolling has more to do with how wide wheels r..also that spoiler looks good..u going to do trunk spoiler too?

Cpt.Joe1983

Iv seen that vitt widebody before i love it..plus it would give me greater traction..but someone told me it was like $22,000..ugh

marthyh

No trunk spoiler for me :I think it breaks the line ..

and actually works as counter aerodynamic I guess.

Everything thats been said plus change the tail lights to 2010+ style, VIM, and illuminated door sills. Congrats on the car! I just love mine!

As far as exhaust goes I had my local muffler shop take out the rear mufflers and install straight pipes in their place. Sounds much better imho at lower RPM's and almost stock on the freeway.

Cpt.Joe1983

Thnx for the info..Do you guys know of a good place in which i can buy aftermarket products ..when i had my viper every single thing i would ever need for it was at theviperstore.com also ul jets did u have to do anything besides cut off mufflers? Did it throw sensors on or anything? I am completely new to M.B. and know nothing except the dealer told me this website..and i know that in my last 8 months of researching fast sedans..nothing even came close to the T.T.v12 benz

ULJets

No sensor issues at all as there are none in the mufflers. Just have the shop cut them off 1-2 inches from the muffler so that if you ever want to put them back on or sell the car its easy to weld them back in place. For this reason I kept the mufflers in one piece and bought separate tips which looks better than the OEM ones imo anyways.
For tail lights I used expressparts on ebay...plug & play with no issues, install in under 20 minutes.
VIM I bought from Midcity engineering, very simple install and no issues.
TUNE - I am still working on this. Went with Speedriven but having some issues with that right now.
Illuminated Door Sills from mbonlineparts. Pricey but they work and are 100% OEM. A lot of issues with the ones from ebay.

Cpt.Joe1983

Thanks..im going to look into those door sills.plan on getting ecu tune through brabus or renntech and lowering module .. what is "VIM"? Also do u have any input on how wide i can go on wheels and tires..someone said that if tires r too wide it can pull the fenders off?? And fender rolling was needes

Cpt.Joe1983

And the muffler delete gave it a more robust sound??

ULJets

VIM - Video in Motion. It enables the front COMAND screen to play DVD's while the car is in motion. Really comes in handy when stuck in traffic. I'm sure I'll get criticized for this, but here in So. CA. traffic is a part of life, but with an S-Class and VIM it isn't all that bad...I turn on Distronic plus, my seat massager, and a movie and in no time I'm out of traffic feeling relaxed instead of irritated and road raging
For tires I went with 20" 275/35 rear, 255/35 front. I really wanted 22's but didn't want to roll my fenders and deal with bent rims every few weeks. I also love the way the S600 rides and was afraid to mess with it too much. Really happy with my set-up now. Just need a lowering module.

ULJets

I love the way the car sounds with the muffler delete, I can finally hear that beautiful TTV12! If you want it even louder you can remove the resonators too. And if you still want it louder you can even take out the converters, but that'll cause sensor issues.
It sounds better in person, but here's a youtube of it from the outside:

From the inside:

And best of all there is 0 drone on the freeway, sounds almost stock

Cpt.Joe1983

Can u post pics of ur ride? Id love to see how it looks.

jadeethan

Cpt Joe,

Congrads on the car.

Here are some pics of my car on 20's. No fender rolling needed. If roads in your area are good..get 22's. In my opinion it's the perfect size...
my 20's are the same size as what ULjet said.

Car is lowered with Ghost links sits perfect.

Good luck!

Cpt.Joe1983

Sweet... u have zero problems with those? Im going to order mine in that exact size when i get off this boat..gota get my ecu tune also..is there any mechanical problems with these cars i should be aware of?

jadeethan

I have no problems with my 20's.. in fact..i am going to get 22's. i think 22's look better and more proportioned for the sclass because of the size of the car...but it's entirely up to you.

Keep in mind that if you lower the car, careful riding up when turning the wheel...you can mess up the fender...but otherwise no issues...

As for mechanical problems, it kinda of varies...i had to get my axle replace and engine mounts...my car is still under warranty so it was covered..does yours come with a warranty?

Cpt.Joe1983

My warranty just ran out but im going to buy an extended warranty ...if i run 20's and lower the car will it still mess up the fenders? All i really want is to drop the rear about 1" to make it level
