    Just buy a new C63 with Carplay and Android Auto support.

    Also, it could be the last C63 with a RWD V8. MB will not rule out next C63 will be based on inline six and AWD (53).

    Might as well chime in on a plus 1 for who is doing good wraps these days.

    Thinking I might matte wrap (XPEL stealth or similar)the c63 to change things up (cheaper than buying a new car?).

    Anyone know if you can get a good ceramic coating over a matte wrap without ruining the finish?
    Shadow tint. Their DynoMatte has a hydrophobic coating built in.

    I'm also thinking of wrapping my wife's car in chrome red vinyl. Not many people can do chrome vinyl, also cost is high because after vinyl I have to wrap it again with ppf. I was actually thinking when I host an advanced vinyl wrapping car, to use my wife's car as demo so they can teach do chrome vinyl lol

    If anyone knows any good vinyl guys that can do chrome, let me know too. We got IR heat lamps at the shop to help with stretching.

    Note, STEK ppf are hydrophobic but they will degrade as well if daily driven.

    I know the guys out at Spy Design in Okotoks, they've done a ton fo wrap jobs (I think they even did Rage's?? and I know they did all those Smart cars that Tunerworks built). They're a good crew. Check out their Facebook page for pic's of their work.

    Really don't see a value in this for the amount it costs. Crazy.

    Well I certainly wouldn’t swap out a wrap every 4 months, not like it’s a car or something

    Agreed, it's a poor value a vehicles owned for 14 weeks.

    Haha. If you changed cars often enough, you wouldn't have to worry about the wrap.

    I wrapped my m3 when it had 30,000km and the paint was absolutely flawless. Took wrap off around 65,000km and the paint was still flawless and I enjoyed another colour on the car for about 5 years. Easily $3-4K value imo.

    Yes and no. The Vinyl was done a few blocks away in Okotoks, don't think that place exists anymore.

    Jarod did a lot of wraps for me over the years, Xpel clear and matte wraps both at Tinting Illusions and when he was at Shadow. So if he's at Spy Design now, yes they've done work for me via Jarod.

    Haven't talked to Jarod in years now, he's been out in Okotoks for a couple years now, and that's just way too far from me.
