Best CF Lip for '12 E63?
I picked up a 2012 E63 a few months back and am now getting around to doing some of the similar things I'd done to my E55...
What's the best place to pick up a cf lip & diffuser? I reached out to Gary but he doesn't carry them.
I think I like the V-type front lip best.
New SLR type wheels and rubber go on tomorrow and I'm blacking out the badges.
Next up will be a Renntech tune... since I believe if I have MB do it, it will remain under warranty as well (I extended it to 80,000 miles).

Renntech makes some pretty cool rear diffuser and front lip.
Since I have the same car as you. I would suggest doing a AMS ECU tune, more HP/TQ than Renntech and cheaper.
When it comes to warranty work, it's not your dealer who makes the call, it's MBusa. If they don't warranty the work, your dealer will no pay out of their pocket.
Good luck and post some photos of your car.

2012 E63
Make sure you get that in writing from the dealership. My local dealer would NOT honor any warranty with a tune. I offered to pay then an additional 3000$ (plus tune cost) to have a tune installed and keep the warranty and they said no way.

i have a renntech tune and CPO car and my dealer honored warranty the one time i needed it....
unless your engine blows up, they are not looking for a tune on your car any ways, and in my experience with AMG's its every else, asides from the engine, that breaks but not the engine
though i must say, the newer amg's seem to be a lot more reliable (for me at least) than the older ones when the electronic gremlins were more prevalent in the early days of tech advances
