2018 E63s Mods
I just wanted to see what different mods you guys have done to your E63s - post a picture or video? I haven't seen many cars on here with aftermarket rims or anything else to make the car look aesthetically better.
Has anyone completed a cat delete? On my C63s I deleted my secondary cats and the result was great.
I plan on doing the following:
1) Black out all emblems - order black replacement emblems, paint black, wrap (if possible?), or the cheapest option would be plasti dip with the glossifier after.
2) Black out the front grill, rear spoiler, and wheels in a gloss black wrap.
3) Front bumper canards - depending on how they look after installation.
4) Secondary cat delete, if possible.
5) Aftermarket rims once current tires are worn out - I plan to go 21 inch with same tire size set up but obviously in the 21 inch size.
6) Ceramic coat once I have all of the exterior aesthetic accessories installed.
7) Has anyone ever had any luck wrapping interior panels? I have the metal weave but the center console is gloss black that scratches easily - I want to wrap it in a carbon fiber look or maybe a clear wrap for protection
8) Lower the car using the module from Ebay/Amazon at a fraction of the cost compared to other vendors. This vendor is reliable as I used their product on my S550 without any problems.

Beautiful! I'm a tad biased, but this car in white does it for me.
21" BC forged wheels with msps. Wheels 21x10 and 21×11. Brushed aluminum isnt a look for everyone but I dig it. And since I already had black oem wheels, switched it up a bit.
nice choice on mods....your car will look great

Let me know how you find the upgrade to the E from the C. I'm making that same jump!

Hah, I thought so. I was thinking about going and driving that car for a bit to help ease the wait of my 2019 getting here! Price was not bad either! I checked the website and it was gone, good to see it went to good home. Check out www.amgsocialclub.com sometimes.

The upgrade from a C to an E is amazing! The E is heavier but you don’t feel that at all. Instead, I feel like I have more control than I did in my C, which is probably because of the AWD.
The transmission, engine/exhaust sound, adaptive cruise control and interior are all significantly better than my C.
The only complaint I have is you can only see the front 2 wheels using the camera options and not the back two wheels anymore like you can/could in the C63s. I used the front and rear wheel angle cameras every time when I park.

Not familiar with how the cameras work on the C, as I have only driven one as a loaner when my E63 was in for service.
But, just to make sure because it took me a while to figure it out, you can rotate the knob on the center console after the camera is active to select a number of different camera views.
There are the limit line views with the red line, plus a top down 3D view with limit lines all around, and then wide angle views front and rear.
Nice also that the passenger mirror tilts down in reverse as I typically back in when I can and that's one additional view to help avoid curbing wheels

Very nice! What mm size spacers do you have on the front and on the back? I had 18mm up front and 15 mm on the back on my C63s which was perfect.

Right now, I've just got an ECU tune on my E63S from OETuning. Getting it dynoed when I get back from Jacksonville, assuming the hurricane doesn't do another left turn and sweep me away, heh.
Next plan is to get downpipes, and maybe some performance dry air filters. Not sure what I'm doing after that, but I am looking for a wheel sponsor, so we'll see how that goes. She's got the AMG Performance Exhaust, so I think with the downpipes, I'm not really going to need to do anything else, as it's going to be pretty rowdy. Night Package looks good too. I'll get a couple photos up later tonight. What else would you need as mods? We talking performance or aesthetics?

I added these canards today and they were easy to install. They look good now but will look even better once I complete the other exterior mods.
