Just picked up the car tonight, Tomorrow morning they are cutting into my side markers for the DRL so those will be an easy job.
Then its off to my muffler shop for the exhaust setup
Please excuse the cleanliness, the car is filthy

Can you take some pictures when you get the muffler tip's put on.
Like where they cut and where they weld.
Thanks

Finished... sorta
Just got home 5 minutes ago, Today i got the DRLs working and i put the tips on. My exhaust shop recommended leaving the secondary cats and if i want more rumble i can always cut them out later on.
For now just straight pipe in place of the resonator. I think it sounds nice and very sedated... Appropriate and fitting for this car. I will most likely go louder but i need to make sure i retain the class.
Keep in mind the car still has not been washed or waxed since the new paint job, i wanted to wait until after i did all work. Going for a major detail tomorrow morning

by the way s63 looks much better than this widebody tuning

I've had my car lowered with Adjustable Air Ride links since I've had the car and I'm very pleased with them and they're very easy to install.

Isn't your car lowered already?

Nope, i had links on my range rover which i traded in for the benz
I found quite a few of the replicas actually, i am just having a hard time deciding what would look good on my car. I want the oem's but they're pricey!
Those pictures of the silver s63 look soooo nice

Great, great. Like your wheels too guess people always want to have something different/ better from what they have got ... Good thing in a way ,otherwise we would still be living in caves !!
Congratz with a great looking W221 already.

EXHAUST UPDATE:
After driving the car for a day i hate the exhaust sound. It gargles at idle and flutters after you step on the pedal. I am ordering an X pipe to replace the straight pipe and will delete both mufflers. Hopefully it should sound a little better than this
Another option is buying 2 stainless steel race mufflers to replace my originals .Im thinking about adding electric cutouts right after the secondaries for when i want to be loud! ... i can always close the valves and run an exhaust through a muffler for normal cruising
Just trying to get rid of this awful fluttering asap

NY roads are known for their potholes , driving into manhattan can be a real p.i.t.a sometimes

ok lets get the headlight topic started
I saw on ebay germany the LED headlight set with modules for about 2,700
Its a lot of money considering all the work i just put into the car. Your updated headlights do look much cleaner, hands down
