Default Finally pictures of the "NEW AMG ETR"

Hey everyone,
Just returned from the Orlando meet (AWESOME see my other thread for pics) and as promised here are pictures of my newly redone beast. Still missing a few things, but about how I wanted it. The car took runner-up "Best in Show" in Orlando losing to only Sporters78 beautiful RUF 520. I have to say I was worried about how the car could come out thinking it might look "ricey" but after seeing it, and a lot of people telling me I have the nicest TT they have seen, those quickly went away. Would love to hear your comments.
New Parts:
-FVD Level 2 software
-FVD Sport Exhaust (w/CAT BYPASS)
-Techart Type II Front Bumper
-Techart GTS Carbon Fiber Lip
-Techart Side Intake Splitter (at the paint shop)
-GT2 Rear wing w/Carbon Fiber blade (MA SHAW)
-Strosek Roof Spoiler
-HRE 545R's painted black(the old ones redone)
-Custom Floor Mats (from FVD)
-Yellow Guage Faces
-Carbon Fiber "TURBO" Badge
Now the good stuff:










Regards,
Evan

Car looks sweet man!! definitely like the yellow dials...
I think carbon mirrors would go well with that wing
Call me tomorrow so we can finalize things....
Also, any pics of the FVD exhaust before install??

I have to be completely honest Evan.....love the car tons now...what a huge dif. the latest mods have made on your car. Perfect combo of exterior parts.

I will also say that I am proud of you for not ricing the car out like most young guns might have done. You might be young but you have very good taste.

Your car is no where close to being considered rice. I bet you catch a lot of attention on your daily commute.

Nice car.

Does the FVD exhaust with the cat bypass cause any CE lights? How is the sound and performance?

Thanks,
First let me say I work for FVD (only fair even though I am telling the truth). No it does not cause any CEL's whatsoever. We are the ONLY tuner in the world that has perfected this to work. It is a great system, my FVD level 2 with the fabspeed got boost at about 2500-2800 RPMS, now with cat bypasses it comes on about 500RPMS earlier!!! Also the sound of the turbos spooling is very cool.
Regards,
Evan

Thanks for the info. How loud would you say this exhaust is compared to others, like Europipe or Fabspeed?

Here is how I describe the sound:
Idle:Like Europipe, has a stock type sound with a little rumble and increased loudness
Cruising:Nice deep grown with NO RESONENCE (The main reason I got rid of the fabspeed was the fact I was tired of having a headache everywhere I went).
Full Throttle:As loud and deep as fabspeed, but with a cleaner sound that is more like a 6 cylender rather then trying to sound like an 8.

In my opinion the FVD exhaust sounds more like a Porsche/European car, while the Fabspeed is a bit more of an "American car" sound. Nothing wrong with this..."different strokes for different folks" .
Hope this helps,
Evan
PS-I will be making a video of it soon.
PPS-Best part of the exhaust...IT SHOOTS FLAMES

THANKS!!wow, you are like the 10th person to say its the nicest...I have to disagree I think there are other nicer ones, but its great to see people appreciate the time, effort, money, and LOVE put into my car!! The exterior and interior are pretty much done...now its time for a little performance upgrade
