My 2012 E63 PP

Got it 2 weeks ago and I've already fallen victim to the mod bug. Car doesn't even have 1,000 miles on it yet haha. I ordered it back in October and its well worth the 5 month wait. What a great daily driver!!!

Got the Vorsteiner front lip and diffuser, painted the chrome around the windows black and the chrome strip on the trunk body color. Deleted the hood ornament and got the passport radar detector and laser jammer. Was thinking about painting the grill black but I'm glad I left it chrome.

looks nice, I had the same color, hood badge and diffuser you do.......
passed on the front lip though.....
how did you like getting the diffuser on? did you need to take off the rear
bumper like my guys did? that thing was a pain in the ***, now I'm probably going to get rid of it, lol......

nice car!

yeah, but the black ones look crisp as hell
I've been thinking about going the sanded route too.......
do they still emit light?
my amg had some stellar clear side markers that glowed blue-ish......
loved passing people on the highway and seeing them slightly glow blue
