If not for the lower left and right 'wings' on that front bumper I would buy me one of those. Otherwise that car is incredible. Nice work.

Sounds amazing! Love the interior.

Edit: Just noticed that you keep your temps on 69 too. Lol.

I am with you on that those are some pricey mufflers. But man that thing sounds nice.

Any body got any low budget alternatives to get that kind of sound?

REally nice....

and I have GOT to get one of those steering wheels. What's the best source for one of the OE ones, or should I just find a core and send it to someone? It's a 63, so I think that matters, right (not the same piece for 55)? Can somone point me to a discussion on that wheel? Thanks....

Normally we charge you for the modified steering wheel and the core. Once yours is done and we send it to you, send us back your OEM steering wheel and we will refund you the core charge. This way you have no downtime and you don't have to buy an expensive OEM steering wheel.

The video during the day are gutted mufflers. Those never sounded right in my oppinion. The ones taken later at night are the Meisterschaft mufflers. They have a very aggressive and deep sound and no rasp in any RPM range.

I really like this bumper a lot, I would have went with it if it was available when I needed it. Instead I was kinda "forced" to go with an E63 front end. Not that I'm at all unhappy with the result

Still I think I would prefer to have this bumper. The cost is relatively the same.

I think it's really attractive

Yea... thats what I thought.... many people upgrade to E63 bumper but this one is more different. And no need to change the grill. (IMO) I dont know why few people just dont like it but ... everybody has different personal taste I guess...

I like the front winglets. Reminds me of the C63.
