It’s always exciting to win a rare car in Forza, like the Mercedes-Benz C63 Amg Black Series Horizon Edition. However, some virtual car enthusiasts have noticed a frustrating visual imperfection in the standard and Horizon Edition models of this iconic vehicle within the game. This article addresses a specific exterior detail issue and provides a player-created solution to enhance the visual accuracy of your in-game Benz C63 AMG Black Series.
The problem lies in the missing chrome trim around the windows of the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series in the game’s low-quality (LQ) model, which is used for exterior views during gameplay. This omission is quite noticeable for those familiar with the real-world car’s design, as highlighted in the image below. While the chrome trim and black masking are correctly rendered in photo mode and the garage view, the discrepancy during actual driving can detract from the immersive experience.
Fortunately, Forza’s robust customization system allows players to rectify this visual oversight. One dedicated player took on the task of manually recreating the missing trim using the in-game painting and decal tools. The process involves painting the car in chrome as a base, then meticulously applying colored decals to restore the body color while preserving the window trim areas. This is followed by adding small black masking decals around the windows to accurately replicate the original design. Although a time-consuming process of trial and error, the results are demonstrably effective.
The effort invested in this correction significantly improves the in-game appearance of the Benz C63 AMG Black Series, bringing it closer to the expected level of detail. The corrected version showcases the proper chrome window trim and refined black accents, as seen in the comparison image below.
An interesting aspect of this customization process is the interaction between metallic paint tones and decals. Depending on the base color of your Benz C63 AMG Black Series, selecting the right metallic paint finish is crucial for achieving the desired reflective properties of the decals. For instance, using “aluminum polished” paint can give decals a shiny, reflective look, while “aluminum semigloss” or “brushed aluminum” results in a more matte appearance. This understanding was also applied to refine the Horizon Edition C63, using “aluminum semigloss” paint and black decals to mimic its original matte black aesthetic.
For Forza players seeking this visual upgrade for their Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series, a pre-made paint job is available. Simply search for the gamertag “fporto” within Forza’s paint search function to find and apply the corrected yellow C63 AMG Black Series design. Furthermore, if you desire this correction in a different color, you can request it by leaving a reply, and the creator is open to producing additional color variations for the community. This initiative demonstrates the dedication of Forza players to visual accuracy and offers a simple way to enhance your virtual garage with a more faithful rendition of the iconic Benz C63 AMG Black Series.
