Thanks! Yeah they do ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thanks!
Thanks! I would add the spoiler, but it is not my style.
Thanks! Yeah it is the photo's angle on the exhaust pipes.
Thanks!
Thanks! Lol I am going to hold you to that
I got the suede dash mat at dashmat.com ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thanks! Everything was a DIY besides getting the bumper, mirrors, and rear trunk lid painted.
Thanks! I agree with you on not having a spoiler, I think the spoiler is just too much, less is more ![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Thanks and yes it feels like a new car! I average 1-3 complements a day when driving around in public
The only pain in the *** was messing with the parktronic sensors and having to super glue/epoxy them in place. Everything else is easy if you are used to messing with this car ![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Thanks! I have the meisterschaft race exhaust ![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Thanks! It will look good when it is done believe me![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
Thanks! With all the parts and painting it was around $5,000 including doing the whole front end with a 3m clear bra.
Thanks! Check above ^^^^^
It is a little bit more than that ![Stick Out Tongue](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/tongue.gif)
Thanks! I thought the emblems were a bit high, but they assured me they put them in the factory location. I actually had the whole car taken down to bare metal and repainted factory 744 silver and clear coated using Penske Automotive for $5k, but I only paid the deductible because my car was vandalized and the paint was scratched up all over
The car now looks floor room new and is stunning from all angles, it is amazing how clean the car stays now with the fresh paint job!

Looks Great Mickey.. Why not go with the 5.5 AMG side emblems? I bought a set before I even owned my car.. and waffled on the change until last weekend.
In terms of placement, the emblem should be (approx) 4 7/8" from the lower trim. It looks like they just went high. Regardless, your car is A W E S O M E!!!! Nice Job!!

Hey Mikey what are your offsets on your forgestars? I just ordered Gunmetal F14's 32 in the front and 40 in the rear. Is that what you are running? Flawless conversion done on this beast!

Thanks on the complements
![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Thank You!
No sorry, everything is very easy to do to be honest. The trunk lid takes five minutes, the tail lights take about 20 minutes, the front end took about 1 hour, and the mirrors took forever lol. If you need any help lmk

Wow! Looks killer, bro!
A quick question, if I may. Do they sell an E63 front grill without the emblem on it? I think both of the emblems, one right above the other, looks out of place. Other than that, it looks killer!

That looks TIGHT! Love it.
The exhaust is addicting. I find myself turning the stereo down, more than up.

I bought them from a connection in Germany, but I do not want to disclose what I paid lol. The mirrors are plug and play in regards to wiring, but not the installation. They are a major PITA to install and requires drilling holes into the door panel.
