a car that gets very poor gas mileage.
Very nice!
The vents in the rear diffusor is a nice detail that adds to the sporty look.

I think the Ventus V12 is a great tire at a steal of a price.
Are those 305's in the rear?

Well done.

Thanks for the compliments.

The rear are 295, tried 305 but would have rubbed under cornering load. The offset on the rear wheels is extremely aggressive.

Very well done!

I think the rear lower panel is a big improvement. Do you mind if I copy your idea?

Very sweet. You even made those Volkswagen CC tails look good. Only thing about the new CLS I don't like is those lights.

That is EASILY, the most gorgeous tastefully modded 2012 CLS I have seen to date. Kudos. What you did with the side mirrors, wheels, lowering etc is beautiful.

Michael, how have you been?
Love this CLS63, not as fast as the BS63, but kicks the heck out of the panamera. After break in miles, I will have the ecu reprogrammed. Should get another 60-80 hp. Merc did this one right, the MCT tranny is fantastic.
Kept the jeep too, good for haulin stuff, off road, daily driver when weather turns to crap

Miss the RS though, hope it's serving you well. Hope to get that picture from you.

J

Good to hear from you
