So I have the mod bug (should have never went to an AMG event!), but I want to be careful about not "murdering out" my ride.

The current set-up: White E63 with 35% tint, pano roof, 20" black Paragons, slight lowering with Renntech module.

Incoming: Mesterchaft GT exhaust, clear corners.

Considering: Carbon fiber trunk spoiler, carbon fiber lip, interior carbon fiber trim. smoked tail lights.

I want to avoid people thinking that i have just put AMG badges on an E500 (I care what folks think, especially clients - sue me!). Am I going over the top with the CF lip and spoiler? Just want people's general opinions on this topic. I'm sure some will love the external mods, and some will stay, "stay classy." What do you think?

Any other mods I should consider? Just want some general thoughts on what people think on this topic.

Nate...post some recent pics...that might help us with our responses.

I don't think you are going over the top with front CF lip spoiler, trunk spoiler, and interior. With white it would make a great contrast. I would add a rear CF diffuser just to balance front and back.

Just be careful on smoking the tail lights...don't go too dark.

ya 2nd on going to dark I went really dark on my white E55 and now Im starting to regret it.

Hey Nate I have a very similar setup to yours and have a lot of the mods you are considering, except the exhaust which I am very jealous about! If you want we can meet up and you can take a look at how it looks on my car and decide for yourself. I am very happy with all the mods thus far while still trying to maintain the "Klass" in our Klass Es.

What's a CF hood spoiler?

Just look at mprsev's ride and copy!

Meant trunk spoiler, he he.

Mpserv - I'd love to see your car. I'll be at CarNutz sometime late next week or the following week. Would be awesome if you could stop by. I'll send you a PM when I get the date settled.

I have the CF decklid spoiler as well, although I custom painted both the front lip and decklid spoilers to be a little different.

I also wish I had CF interior trim for my E, like AMGfan has for his SL. CarNutz can hook you up with that as well. CF can become addicting, beware.

Nate have Joel or Jim give me a call when you are down there as I work right up the street from their shop and I would love to hear your new exhaust. I think I will be simply going with 2nd cat delete to add to my xpipe, although I don't think it will sound as aggressive as your new setup will be.

Where are the engine mods!!!!????

I would do painted trunk spoiler but carbon diffuser and front spoiler. Little more subtle that way.

mprsev

Those too are very addicting and tend to burn even bigger holes in the wallet.

TruTaing

You two gotta hit me up when yall meet up. Id love to snap a couple pix.

mprsev, where do you work? I work a few blocks away from car nutz :x

Exotic-metal55

Yes, very addictive but think how classy a bluuuuuuuur looks going down the road..

Nice ride!! Keep up the class work.

We just did a CF front and rear trunk on a silver CLS the other day and it transformed it from a classic look to an aggressive sportier look. CF on white you can't go wrong. Let me know if we can help.

I just ordered the carbon fiber trunk spoiler. Now gotta decide whether to paint the top of it white or even put a matte finish on the CF...

I'll post pics when it is done (hopefully next week).

James@ACG

Your going to be more then happy with it!

...have you concidered a vinyl roof over lay? Paint calipers? Blacking out your grille? Since you're going with the CF/white theme a CF roof overlay might be something to think about. Maybe flat blacking your ehaust tips?........
