Fast cars in general....
Mod list for 2012 CLS63... let's share some ideas?

I must say it's one of the best looking car I ever owned.
It drives so much better than the old platform and MB certainly did improve many areas it was lacking. It's perfectly fine the way it is but I must admit... I'm a modaholic Let's share some ideas of what most CLS63 owner think the desirable mods would be.

Here is a short list of mine...

1. Tune
2. Replace or paint front side marker
3. Resonator delete
4. KW coilover lowering kit

Done em all but the tune... just lazy as Im dialed with OE.

How about:

Wheels (its not a gtr- wheels make this car look better)
Tint is a must
There isnt much "proven" mods- dont know much about down pipes
stereo upgrade (I find the bass lacking)

Tint / wheels / resonator delete (definitely worth doing) / possibly tune soon here. And I need to delete those damn reflectors!

Had a clear bra on the car but took it off.
I just didn't like that unsightly clear bra line that goes across the hood. It also faded color a little bit. Other then that its a great investment if your **** about rock chips. I still left it on my headlights, fog lights and mirrors.

You pretty much named all the best/basic mods you can do to this car.
I would add some nice wheels to the list.
Since you are from So Cal I would highly recommend you contact Jeremy of OE Tuning for a tune. They're 3 minutes from Keyes European on Oxnard st.

Has OE Tuning tuned any 63TT cars? If so, what has been the result?
Is this mail order type tune or the dyno tune?

+1 why no folding mirrors????

I have ETG Tune, Resonator Delete, Brabus Lowering, Brabus Sideskirts, Concave Monoblocks, and a few other cosmetic changes, and the car is PERFECT to me.

I just had a body shop paint mine- and stuffed the bulbs underneath the bumper on the inside. That way I dont have the fugly glow at night and no light out error (if I chose to remove the bulbs).

I'm pretty sure he has. Dont know what the gains were but you should contact OE Tuning direct to get some more info.
You can either send him your ECU to have it flashed or you can go to OE Tuning direct to have the car dyno tuned. This method extracts more efficient HP out of your engine.

Here is OE Tunings number.
(818) 574-5075
