I do. Wether you drive it hard or have it sit around, the car should look the way you want to.
Why spend thousands on CF bits or special paint when you have a Steering wheel out of a $30k car. Just cheapens the whole thing.
These are not special airbags. An E, C or SL class cover is plug n play.

Yes, hence why I want it the way I want it.... Lmao... Mine is my daily, and I've put 4k miles on it in the 3 months I've had possession of it. I'm also probably going to spend $600 to change the door panel speaker grills from basic burmester to the punch aluminum, because I much prefer the aesthetics of it that way.

As a matter of fact, maybe instead of just replacing the cover, I might go all out and get one of these custom wheels, with the shift lights/RPM/MPH built into it.

These appear to be some fantastic steering wheels. Don't know of anyone who's purchased one to check on the quality, but they look pretty bloody awesome.

I might well buy an airbag cover if they make them for the GT cars; Alcantara with Yellow stitching to match the interior.

I was reading though the options, and it's all highly customizable via the obd2 port. Much more configurable than I expected.

**LCD display shows
  • LED shift indicator, adjustable from 500RPM to 9900RPM
  • LED shift light color, adjustable for RGB color.
  • Instance RPM reading
  • Current speed in Miles Per Hour (MPH) or (KM)
  • Battery voltage
  • Engine capacity
  • Boost presure (factory turbo)
  • Water temperature in Fahrenheit (°F) or (°C)
  • 0-60 MPH time tracker
  • Track timing

This car will sit and sit like the Jupiter Red next to it. Lets face it, if the MSRP is 175k or so- at triple net the car is still 154k- why why why get it when a brilliant E63S is worth it 115k with a good but fair discount.

Disclaimer: I did see the car on the road a week or so back and it didnt have the park bench spoiler; the car had some presence no doubt. The price point has no business IMHO.

Is it just me or is the lettering crooked?

I remember looking at that fixed wing last year; this has no business on a sedan...

The “63” looks a bit off. I’m with you on the wing as well.
