Just introducing myself.....

Whats up fellas! Just droppin in to introduce myself as a new CLS55 owner. I must say, this car is pretty much the ultimate vehicle. Chic looks, a classy interior and unbelievable performance. Anyways, if you see a speeding Iridium silver 55 in the LA area (Santa Monica, Brentwood, BH areas), then you'll know that's me!

I appreciate the warm welcome fellas! It's Iridium Silver with premium package, xenons, electric trunk closer, key-less go and a few other stuff I'm probably forgetting about. I didn't opt for the 'parktronic' or 'distronic'. I have great parallel parking skills.

I have a few pics that I will post up shortly. I'm also contemplating on whether or not to get 20" wheels, louder exhaust and tints. For the meantime, I will lurk around here and continue to read the informative posts. By the way, if anyone would like to upgrade their Xenon lights to a higher kelvin rating, let me know as I have a great source on them. I have a pair of D2S 10,000K McCulloch bulbs that I will be installing tomorrow. I'll post pics ASAP and write a short comparison between stock (4700k ??) and 10,000k.

Welcome to the board
Although your CLS is a 2006 not a 07, we'd still like to see pics

A co-worker wants to setup a friendly race. He's got a stock C6 (6-speed) and claims he can take me since he's good at "rowing" through the gears. I'll have it recorded if it goes down......
