Looking forward to seeing the mods -- planning on using VT's AMG for inspiration? That blacked out grill and badge removal looking spot on IMHO.

Very cool C congrats. I'm honestly shocked though I would have pegged you for a 997 turbo before this. I drove an e63 at the auction 2 weeks ago and the torgue is neck breaking. Way more useable in real world scenario than the M5. Awesome machine! I'm not a Benz guy at all but that is one sweet ride. Congrats I'm very happy for you.

C has good taste in mods as well. His mods are always top shelf stuff. I am sure than in short order, that E63 will be a super monster.

I just got the same grill as Tom (FlyM5) that he has for his E63 AMG. It was dropped off at my body shop this morning, to be painted high gloss black. I also ordered the same AMG Hood Badge as him. It's really nice. It's the one that has the tree with the various colors. Will post pix when done.

I ordered the new grill for the beast, had it painted high gloss black and just installed it. What a difference!!! I also ordered a new, AMG hood badge and installed that as well. So much cleaner and nicer.

A very big thanks to FlyM5 (Tom). I love the new look man. Car looks ferocious from the front. Now it's time to paint the reflectors and do the chrome accents.
