First couple mods - GT63 w/ Wheel Spacers (Pic Heavy)
Car is a week old and has been getting subtle tweaks. Tinted (20%), PPF on whole front clip and A-pillars, and now spacers.
The pics shown are w/ 12.5mm spacers on all four corners. I think at lowered ride heights (images are stock Sport + setting) you could get away with a larger spacers if you wanted it "hella flush". This is my daily driver so I haven't lowered it.
The car drives as before, no issues whatsoever, just better visual appeal and a little more sure footed in the turns.
Spacers are from ECS Tuning, Bolts are from H&R Springs. The black lug bolt covers are from Amazon. I can post part numbers or links if wanted. The parts will cost you less than $200 delivered for all of it and you can install with simple hand tools and a jack in your driveway.

Car looks great.
By the way ask your dealer about installing the protective grill on the passenger side heat exchanger as it should be a free install. Puncturing that HE is expensive and not covered under warranty.

Certainly will. Thanks for the heads up. Do you know if there is a TSB?

Hey man, I would really appreciate it if you were to send me the links to the bolts and spacers.
There are many options to choose from on the website and I really like how yours came out.

Guys I doubt he comes back here---- but for reference I used Supreme Power in Fullerton,CA for my spacers and bolts on my W218 E63S.
You might want to reach out to them for details on bolts etc. They are a sponsor here:
