Leo's e63 Build
Hello fellow members.
My name is Leo and I have been lurking on this site quite sometime, and about little more than month ago, I finally became a proud owner of AMG. I have to mention that it is one of the best car that I owned, and very much enjoying it from day one. And I just wanted to share my midding progress with fellow AMGers. When I first pick up the car, it looked good, but like missing something... It's almost good enough, but not really 100% the way I wanted it. Here's how it looked. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/bca55654.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/7ce128ca.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/7a8731f0.jpg I bought the car with a plan to keep it stock and just daily drive the car. However, my addiction to modding found me once again :eek: and before I knew, I started researching and getting ideas. Then... It all started :X The first mod was Extended warranty. :rolleyes: Just wanted to make sure that I am covered, I talked with Bruce@BecksImports (THX! :y) and got 4yr/50k warranty. Then I got tints. 3m Color Stable 55% front 20% rears. I think the film looks great with my car. But I might be biased. :slap: http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/593d8d52.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/5e869ff8.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/2b217ace.jpg Then I got the H&R lowering module. I liked the fact the it is P&P, and from reliable company. I was gonna wait til everything is done, but couldn't live with 4x4 look anymore so I put it in today. Before.. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/ffa4981b.jpg And After... http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/8fadef46.jpg The final drop will be set when I get more parts in. So, Here is a teaser of what's coming, :rolleyes: http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/dc0495f4.jpg I have decided what I'm going to do, and soon will make a list of full mods that I'm doing for this car, and post a photoshopped picture of what it will look like. But... Let me just say that is it so hard to wait when you have parts full of garage like this. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/982cc4b3.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/a06145d9.jpg Or this... http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/555bd958.jpg And many more.... Like Evosport, Wald, etc... :X This thread will be keep updated (About weekly). So please check back and enjoy! :D -Leo |
Looks good. I just lowered my E55 and it finally looks right!
|
Love that color! More pix!
|
Evoguy - I agree!! It looks much better with drop, and now can't wait to put my wheels on.
tbal - Thanks, I love your car! and was my first choice, but now this color is growing on me. |
So here's photoshopped version of what it will look like (90% :rolleyes:)
I think it will look good along with subtle contrast in color, interior, and sound system. Anyways... Here's how it looks. Enjoy and any comments and suggestions are welcome!!! :y http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/807b714e.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/a717397d.jpg |
oh damn cannot wait
|
Lookin good! Look forward to the final pics! :y
|
Me neither.. I can't wait til it's done.
More stuff coming my way... Here is couple. :y http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/b92890c6.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/520e1175.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/5463493b.jpg In the mean time, I did lil stuff like leds on license plate, foot well, glove box, vanity mirror, etc. http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/8d0bbef0.jpg http://i290.photobucket.com/albums/l...t/c86477e2.jpg BTW, Does any one know how to take out the dome bulbs? I'm having hard time figuring out. :smash: P.S: I wanna thank Rob@Vividracing and HRE for customer service. I was missing valves and they shipped it out on the same day. :eek::bow: I will keep updating as the process goes. |
LOVING THIS BUILD!!!!!!! (those orange calibers are NASTY!!!!!):bow::bow::bow:
|
Thank you Sir! I love the orange also. But it might get better ahah we will see.
Parts are arriving almost daily now. And UPS driver becoming my best friend lol. More pics to come :) |
Flint Grey FTW!! Great choice on color man!! What an awesome build! :y
|
Great Project. Yeah, you got bit by the Go Fast Crack Pipe !!! I wish I had heard about your build earlier, I would have bought some UPS stock !!
Moved to Atlanta from Princeton, NJ. Hate that you are required to mount that front plate. Good Luck with your project and thanks for sharing your pics. I just had my grille blacked out and the paint shop painted the mercedes emblem on the grille because they thought having two emblems with the flat badge on the hood was too much. It came out great. Just a thought. So, Princeton orange calipers !!! Nice. |
Nice build! Love the color.
|
Subscribed!
This is gonna be a sick build!! :bow: |
Looking real nice Leo.I swear I know this car as I knew a whole saler looking to sell this not to long ago. Asking was $37K I think.I am all over 63's for sale in the NJ/PA area and come to see lots of them find good homes.Enjoy your nice toy.
|
We're gonna need to have an NJ E63 Meet and greet guys. I know a couple great roads to cruise up along the Delaware.
|
Let's get this going ASAP.I am interested in a meet. Maybe make it for any AMG owners also?This way there will be lots in common and a better turn out? I am in Central NJ
