W211 BEAST

So I'm going to Hyevon on Tuesday to drop off my stock rims and some other stuff. As of right now the stuff that is happening for SURE is:

-Powder coating my stock rims matte black
-Painting my emblems matte black (V8 Kompressor, E55, ///AMG)
-Painting my grille matte black

Now this stuff I'm thinking about doing:

-My sidemarkers are painted white, should I paint them matte black? Or is that just too much?
-X Pipe or Straight Pipe- This one depends on the price, but which would YOU do and why?
-I want to get a matte black rear trunk spoiler, but now I'm thinking maybe a carbon fiber trunk spoiler plus a carbon fiber rear diffuser. Would the carbon look good with all of the matte black? Or should I just stick to matte black?


What do you guys think?

Make sure to do your valence in your hood also matte black! Maybe have them do the pano roof look alike if you do not have it also.

What's the valence?

Straight pipe will be loud, but cool!

I am excited for pics!

I think I'm gonna go with the cross pipe, I don't want it to be insanely loud and annoying. lol. I'm just getting tired of not having ANY exhaust noise. Lol

CF will go great with the black

I'm seriously contemplating it. But if I do the carbon trunk spoiler, it means that I also have to do a carbon rear diffuser. What's the cheapest that I could get each for?

mikey33

It the part of the hood that has the inserts or strips near the windshield.

W211 BEAST

OOhhh.... great ****ing idea. I completely forgot about that.

Thanks a lot for that idea.

Take a look at my photo album and see what it looks like done!

dynomite05

I did the same. Great mod!

Dropped off the car today. I'm getting the rims, grille and emblems painted matte black. I got a small trunk spoiler that's gonna be matte black too. I was thinking about getting the sidemarkers and the hood vents in matte black as well, but (no offense to anyone here, just my personal opinion) I think that would be a little bit too much. I'm also getting a slight STAR drop. Just a little.

I'll post pics after.

Worth the wait

What about the calipers???
HMS does a bang up job powder coating them and a nice yellow could really give it an additional aggressive twist.
IMO don't waste the time and money cutting up your stock exhaust unless you are going to throw a set of their headers on there first

Good luck!

If the car was black I'd definitely do the calipers in yellow (or a really cool green along with the emblems and stuff). But I think yellow/red brake calipers will just be too much on a white car with black rims.

Here is what a silver car will look with a CF trunk spoiler and CF rear diffuser along with black emblems.



+1 for the job HMS does on brake calipers. Mine came out great!

W211 BEAST

It's sick, but my car is white. Lol

Yeah, and your pic at Hyevon with the blue calipers is SICK.

James@ACG

Danny, if your doing all that you need a Matte CF diffuser... let me know if you need one

Carbon fiber trunk spoiler + carbon fiber diffuser on a silver car =

W211 BEAST

I have a white car. Lol. But yes, it does look awesome on a silver car.

BenzoBoi

My bad buddy! Why did I think yer car was silver?

CSanders

Mikey, how hard is that to get off?

mikey33

Takes less than a few minutes because it is held in with only a few screws and is very easy.

Bramage

I've got a rear diffuser like pictured here.

Never installed, just sitting in garage. If you go CF route, let me know. I was thinking of posting it anyway as I bought it before I got the car (silly me), and Im not going to do any CF on a tectite car. There is no contrast..

W211 BEAST

Picked up my car yesterday and I love it. This stuff was a long time coming for me. I'll post pics later.

Quick question though, does anyone make a rear diffuser that looks just like the SL63 rear diffuser that would fit the E class? How would that even look?

Infiniti

make sure you get the diffuser with only three cuts or slits however you want to say it. IMO it looks the best.
