Rob,
Is the top of the rear diffuser sitting over the rear bumper, in other words, is the diffuser overlapping with the rear bumper at that top portion?
Or did you need to cut off that portion of the rear bumper?

All the carbon parts are bolt on, no cutting use factory hardware locations for installation.

Here are some pictures from the vossen booth, check out those concave goodness.....

Rob, Just saw the video on your web site of the car being done. Like the way you did the diffuser. Any chane you will be puttingout a front lips for the older CLS models. I havenot been able to find one that blends with the car and looks good. Was thinking about trying to find someone to make one but thought I would see if you have anything in the works or know of any. I know it is an older model but thought I would check to see.
The black accetns look fantastic on that car. I did that with my BMW and was going to do that with the cls also.
The V8 in white would look pretty cool against the black
Is the siiver set of 7 spoke wheels vossen? I like those. Was looking at ADV.1 5 spokes but those are pretty nice

I'll quickly chime in..things still hectic at SEMA...this car got some ridiculous attention at SEMA...I was more than happy to explain the new parts added on the car as well as our wheels. There were people from Europe loving it!

No joke, Tim Duncan loved it as well when he stopped by our booth!


More info our Vossen Wheels soon enough. Thanks for partnering for success Rob/Vivid Racing! Fantastic work!

Sorry guys just getting back to work. Sema was good....car turned out nice. Parts will be on our site today, sorry for the delay. The carbon will be branded under agency power. I should have 2-3 front lips this week and 1-2 diffusers. Working on the rest but have other parts in schedule and this is my own greedy project.....

Car drives great. I'm loving it, just need the wheels from HRE, like the stock wheels but love what HRE is sending.

Need to get some sound clips and dyno test the exhaust hopefully the end of this week.

Thanks for the links Rob.
Awesome car and the babes to go with it.

Are those Vossen's 20"?
They look like 21s and I know Nitto makes Invo's in 255/30 21.

That drop is perfect!
Can't say enough good things about your ride.
