A very special customer decided to go ahead and make her C63 a true custom machine. We are doing a full custom metal widebody conversion from scratch, we are also extending the front fenders even wider then OEM. This is quite a task especially when we need to finish it before Gold Rush Rally 4! Oh and did I mention we also have to do a complete color change on the car!!

List of things needed to be done on this car in less then 1 month.

A very special front bumper needs massive repairs due to cracked areas.
Front bumper extension to the sides
Front fender metal extensions (with vents)

Rear quarter panel metal extensions
Rear door metal extensions
Side rocker panel metal extensions
Rear bumper metal extensions (with vents)

Full complete color change to Grigio Medio
Headlights opened up for customization
Re-clear matte carbon fiber to glossy carbon fiber components

We received the car on May 4 and we will be posting updates as time goes by. The car will be fully released at the Gold Rush Rally 4! Dont mind some of the dirtiness of the car, we will be fully repainting the full vehicle.

Day 3

Will update with new pictures of the left quarter panel (we wanted the bottom of the quarter and new extension to be has strong as possible) we spent alot of time strengthening the metal extension from underneath the quarter panel. Not only will it be much wider it will also be as strong as the day it left the factory.

Also new pictures with the front fender will be updated shortly.


Broken bumper fixed below.



Front fender extension with vent progress.



Side view of the rear extension. (We had to delay the rocker panel and rear bumper extension building to tomorrow as we had alot of careful shaping and inside reinforcement to finish up. We also wanted to begin cutting/bending the other side quarter panel. Tomorrow will begin a new day of building a rocker panel and rear bumper extension. We are going to do something special here ;) )





Here we started the other side panel extension already!

Will be posting day 4 progress pictures shortly. We went all out on the rear bumper and it's going to be crazy! We are well into the other side extension, tomorrow all the metal work will be done on that side as well.

We did a front fender and didn't like it so we are scrapping that and going another way which will be nearly identical to the black series.

At this point it's on track to look like a black series except for the rear door vents. This would look odd on the 4 door so we are not doing it.
