Mods to my E63

I recently bought a CPO 2010 E63 after many months of shopping and thought I would share pics of the mods I did, a lot of what I did came from looking at other cars on this site.

The car has the following options P2, parktronic, and pano sunroof. The mods I made were 20" rims, flat hood emblem, new grille, smoked running lights, smoked tail lights, all windows tinted (38% on all sides and rear and 50% on front windshield), 2 10" JL audio subs, JL Audio HD 1200/1 amp.

I would probably start on the engine soon...

Nice mods! I prefer the OEM chrome grill and classic hood ornament. Very few Mercedes keeps the original hood emblem. I like the smoked side signals but prefer the OEM rear.

Are you thinking about a diffuser or front lip?

I have been thinking about having the OEM chrome grill painted black.

The diffuser and front lip are on my list of other mods, but I think having the engine tuned are next. Not sure how much I will do on the engine because I bought an extended warranty. The good thing about the extended warranty is I can cancel it before it goes into effect and get all the money back

Good choice with the extended warranty. I have it, too. Well, not many choices with tuning the N/A engine but the Weistec Supercharger will be a good one if you are going that route. Let's say you really don't want to think about the warranty when you are ready to play, because that warranty is gonna grow wings once MB finds out you have a supercharger on a blow up engine.
