So far
Carbon front lip, 3 piece so if you break a corner its a cheap fix.
Carbon diffuser
Carbon rear wing
Carbon side grills
Brembo kit, custom painted
Kw kit
Full catback exhaust with valvetronic mufflers you guys will dig this, sounds stock or amazing with the press of a button
Renntech ecu
also painted reflectors, rear chrome piece on trunk, did the grill in matte black and all letters/emblems to match.
It needs wheels, my HRE's haven't shown yet but Vossen will hook it up for Sema.

I'll get some pictures today of everything and maybe some video before it goes on the truck.

Carbon parts will go in production. Looking for everyone's feedback today, will make a new thread.

The exhaust I wanted something that could be aggressive but also if someone wanted it back to stock exhaust levels it could be done easy.

I wanted to change the Amg brakes because of the option to go to ceramics. The brembo's are a good option, lots of aggressive track pads. Brembo will not make a brake kit unless it performance better than the factory product. Hence no Nissan gtr kit unless you go to their race kit.

12 CLS63, 12 GLK350, 08 RR SPORT SC,

I would be interested in a quality roof wing since the car already comes with a trunk wing.

Rob, our cars need a better trunk lid spoiler.
Is there one in the works?

Looking forward to those pics.
I could use some CF parts.

Concur on the spoiler- and we definitely need a more aggressive diffuser.

Indeed.
I guess I'm getting a little impatient.

For now, I wish there was a way to get about a 2" drop.
That would keep me quiet for a while.

Looks great- maybe the angles are off but is the rear dropped more than the front?

BTW the front wheels have a 15mm H&R spacer on. Only way I could clear the Brembo's. The ride might be a bit off because the car just rolled off a lift and was still in the shop. Once driven the airride will level out the car.

Well done Rob!
Take plenty of pics once you've got the Vossen's on.

The drop looks good.
I guess the KW coilover kit is the way to go.

As I am not only a form guy but also function, I have to ask how does the car feel on the road in quick turns, high speed turns, and high speed straights? Did you get the "notorious" Mercedes "pull to the right after lowering" effect?

What was the final drop in MM? Front and rear please and thanks.
