2018 E63S: mods are complete... which is your/my favorite? Suggestions welcome!
So I think I'm done... well, at least, I can't think of anything else... for now that is.
For me, two of the mods are tied for first place... I'd love to hear your thoughts or ideas for new ones? Here are 10 pics showing (either obviously or subtly) the major exterior and interior mods I've made:
... this stuff lives in the trunk of my car. For any of you with the piano black/brown variants, this polishing solution is UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Good pics, looks like you have done all the right things to your car. Where did you get the grill and how hard was it to install. I think I might do that mod if it's not too hard an install. One good mod I did the other day was I sprayed some son of a gun protectant on my leather seats, but a nice shine on them and makes them more slippery so more easy to get in and out of the car. I'm a big guy.

The grille is stock, just wrapped: horizontal slats wrapped in black; vertical slats wrapped in chrome. There are DIY approaches, too, and a thread that touched on that aspect here on the forum; it's a fork of Vic's 'post your pics thread'.
What was the spray you used? I'm not looking for slippery but I am noticing 'stretch marks' where I slide into my seat...
Well done Dean and nice pics... I think its a wrap (dont wrap it) for now. I am in the same boat and will just enjoy the unique color of the car for now (tuned, lowered, aesthetics)
Great idea on the Grill, I'll do that, sounds easy enough. Here's the link for Son of Gun. I like it much better than armor all. It does not leave a residue and really makes interiors shine and does not seem to attract the dust.

The M5 CP is looming and I can't stop myself from researching it... that doesn't bode well... aghhhhhhh!
... and what if my vanity license plate is wrong?!? Nooooooooooooo....

Well I hate to say this but Im on that board almost as much as I am here and some days even more. I too have been looking at the CE version- It will be drivers race on the street IMHO depending on who gets the jump, conditions, starting speeds, ending speeds, etc.

Doesn't concern me whether or not the new M5 is a tad quicker. They are close enough to one another, and the M5 still looks too plain to me. I just turned down my M5 build which had just come in, although I had turned canceled my build 5 months ago. I'm not sure why they offered it to me again unless they are having trouble selling it??
Anyway, many future iterations of various AMG's and M's, and Audi's etc., will be quicker and quicker than the new E63s in time.
Oh, I like your grill and painted "S" since these differ from many of others mods.

I'm not sure if your comment is meant to imply that "I'm concerned", certainly not--this is purely fun rivalry. If I had the M5 instead right now, my plate would read BYEE63S.
I saw the M5 earlier this week in person and was quite surprised how much better it looks. The CP usually adds a few tweaks (lower, slightly more aggressive offsets, etc.)
FWIW: my favorite mods that are tied for first place are the license plate and the tune (the latter hopefully rendering the former true [again, jovial rivalry]).
My Brother has a modded 2015 BMW I8, he should get that plate. He owns a car dealership selling hot rod electric and hybrid cars, pretty cool spin for a used car dealer, lol.
