Hi all, sorry it's been a while since I've posted. Attached are pics of my wagon with the full RevoZport carbon fiber body kit (front lip, side skirts, rear diffuser, roof spoiler). Don't think there are many wagons out there with this kit so thought it would help folks to see it for real.
A few notes for those who are interested:
The roof spoiler needs to be glued on, so it's a commitment.
The rear diffuser was a difficult fit, Ken at RevoZport was really good about addressing the issue but just a heads-up, please PM me if you want more details.
I was skeptical about the side skirts, but visually I ended up concluding that you really need them or the lower corners of the front lip look like they stick way out there (I only had the front lip for a while). The side skirts are great actually, and no you don't rub your pants on them constantly if you're wondering.

Other notes:
Don Nguyen helped me vinyl this car on one of his NorCal trips. The rear taillights are smoked slightly (amazing the difference though), the silver bar in between is blacked out, and the window trim is all blacked out (all matte instead of gloss).
Side markers are white (eBay).
Hood ornament is a flat 'AMG' one (eBay).
Windows are lightly tinted.
Grille is a "Howell" unit from Jerry at formymercedes.com.
Stock wheels, I need to get some wheels!! Suggestions? Intrigued by the BC Forged 2 piece wheels.

Will do some follow up posts on the interior, the only big thing I did was the fold-away third row. I did manage to still use the stock spare, but it involved the use of a die grinder...

very nice overall

curious what the difficulty was with the rear diff, i wonder if it was similar to issues i had with my euroteck

sikm3

Yes, more info on the rear diffuser fitment issue.
Vdub, my Euroteck rear diffuser now shows a little gap on one of the rear corners (driver side). I would presume heat from the exhaust is causing this maybe?

BTW, your wagon looks fantastic! Excellent choices...

i dont think mine has changed since initial install

the main issue was that is was too rigid to make that turn where as the stock piece is very flimsy. I still think the fins look better than any of the other ones.

I think the revosport version for the sedan is different than the wagon, not as aggressive.

I remember on mine, i could not reattach those plastic support arms that pushed the stock piece out, if i did try, they really stress the fins area. Mine is essentially staying put purely by the top clips, they stuck in tight, as the tabs on the innerside never met with the OE tabs...

personally I like everything except that large ebay benz ornament on the grill, to me it looks like a "R" series or one of those Mercedes delivery vans. Everything else is great though. If it were my car, I'd just have a straight grill going across. With my car though I kinda like the stock benz hood ornament and I do like the stock wheels too. I may make those changes though of the side skirts and the rear diffuser and spoiler, looks nice. I've though about changing out my exhaust tips too just to single rectangular ones, not crazy about those square stock quad tips.

dont u dare touch the tips.....they are awesome...

On the rear diffuser, we just were struggling with the fit, and then realized that for the wagon we had to trim it a bit on the flap at the bottom. RevoZport was great through the whole process and even did a test install in Hong Kong to help figure out the problem. They will have it fixed for sure.

Also, Darwin at Sonic MS in Milpitas, CA was awesome with this whole project.

I agree that the hood badge isn't so great, there just aren't a lot of great options. I will eventually make my own. This badge was at least the right size, there are a bunch listed for the W212 but the diameters are actually too big, argh.

Also agree on the tail tips, that's about the last thing I'd change, one of the reasons why I didn't go with the Brabus kit.

Overall though I think it looks great, a lot more sporty than stock. Sometimes I think mine with the exception of the huge brake rotors and the red calipers could pass for a wealthy soccer moms car. I had a CTS-V Wagon before this car (2013 had it 5 months and did not like the car) and it turned heads a lot more than my Benz, everytime I stopped to get gas people would come up to me talking, very rarely happens with the Benz, but in some ways I feel it's good the car goes under the radar screen, sometimes I don't feel like answering "wow, man does this car have over 500 hp?" In reality I'll probably just leave my silver wagon stock because more than likely I'll be trading it in within a couple years if I can find a used 2014 (needle in the haystack, lol) amg wagon at that time.

That is a sweet, mean looking wagon! Check out the Klassen forged monoblock wheels, they would look sweet!

Lowered I am guessing?

Looks incredible. Would like to see more side profile shots.

isamubenz

Actually, not lowered. Stock suspension and stock wheels. I guess it's a good sign that I don't need to lower it

When I finally get some wheels on this thing, I'm thinking I have to go 20", you guys agree?

Thanks for all the thoughts guys.

2012 merc amg

20's will look better although your ride will suffer and the car will be a little bit slower. I would not think of 20's around where I live it's like the roads where built by cavemen, the car rides bad enough already over the bumps and 20's would make it even worse.

isamubenz

yeah the practical part of me knows that the ride will suffer with 20s, but I just kind of feel like it's harder to justify a set of aftermarket wheels if I end up getting the same 19 size again...

Lookin good!

This car is nice enough to get a spot on our front page. Bravo, isamubenz.

P.J.S.

Interested in some 3rd row seating info - by chance do you have a complete parts list of what is needed?

Sweet looking E63 wagon. Rare to see a nicely modded one like this.

I agree with what was said in the photo layout about the car that wheels seems to go well with the body kit. I really like my stock wheels, I think they are darn good looking wheel and very easy to maintain, I can clean all four of mine in about ten minutes. The only thing I'd do at this point if it were my car is do something different with the MB grill badge, either a smaller one or nothing at all. I just think the one that is on there is way too big and looks out of place.

EVOII_Racer

Damn so sweet love Revozport Stuff!! You ride looks very Nice congrats!

You need to buy HRE rims they are great

NickE63

looks good why did you remove the biturbo

isamubenz

Oh, very cool to get on the main page, didn't expect that!
Third row: I need to post to that thread, the parts list is daunting and to be honest I let my shop (Sonic MS) handle it. My main additional contribution is that I got the stock AMG spare to still fit, which I think others hadn't managed yet.
Hood badge: totally agree... Maybe I will need to get off my butt and finally do something about it.
Badges: totally forgot to mention that! First thing I did was debadge the whole car. Personal preference, prefer the stealthier look.

Have you noticed if the Roof Spoiler eliminates or reduces the amount of dust and dirt that gets on the back bumper and tailgate? After mine is washed and I drive ten miles there is too much dirt that develops way to fast. I am guessing that these parts or some of them could be painted diamond white? I would agree with the 20" wheels. My car rides way to harsh even in Comfort Mode. I am actually taking back to the dealer this week for them to figure out why. It did not ride this harsh when I bought it.
I have been looking for a roof spoiler and this one looks good.

2012 merc amg

Wow, so I'm not the only one with a harsh ride in comfort mode, it feels like I'm riding right on the rims or something and not rubber, crazy. feels like there is 1500 lbs of pressure in the air springs, ya mines gotta do a trip to the dealer too. It's fine on a smooth highway, but put it on a bumpy back road and prepare to be jarred and shaken. I think theres gotta be something wrong, strange though because no dash suspension fault lights or anything. I do notice though whenever I'm near the car with the FOB the air pump cycles on and off a lot and you can hear the suspension check valve opening and closing releasing and refilling air bag pressure, sounds like a fire breathing dragon or something, something ain't right.

bripar77

My air bags do the same thing when I walk by it. I have a friend with the same E63 Wagon and we exchanged cars for an hour one day and his rides better than mine and he said the same thing. I think it is an Air Bag problem and the ECU. I took it in once before and they said they fixed it and said it did ride harsh, but it wasn't any better. I hope they can do something. It is stupid to have a 100k car not ride better than this in comfort mode and I know it used to be that way ie: a good ride in Comfort Mode because my old E63 Wagon rode nice in comfort.
