CLS55 AMG Pics from CarNutz Customz (Final Pics Added)

As an inaugural post I wanted to share some of these pictures with you guys. I have been a long time member of TWCompetition with my IS300, I have recently crossed over to the dark side and hope to join you guys in MB crowd. These are some recent progress pics of my CLS55. The car is coming along nicely and these pics are for those who were curious about what it looks like. All work is being done at CarNutz Customz in Bellevue, WA. www.Carnutzcustomz.com They have done a great job, and far exceeded my expectations. It has been a long process but it has been well worth the wait. I will update this thread later on with pictures of the finished product.

Enjoy the pics fellas, let me know what you think.

-Mike

Are the seats more comfy? Look very comfortable like an old leather chair.

Interesting that you guys are using the "tUNINGwERKS" logo again - did you ever receive permission from the original owners...I don't think so.

Great job!

I sent the car to them because I felt they were the right people for this project. I know it does seem a bit extreme to have a car built out of state, but for a project like this they fit the bill perfectly. It was difficult to find a shop qualified for things like the carbon fiber roof and the carbon fiber seat backs. I also made my decision after seeing their CNC Evolution. http://www.carnutzcustomz.com/pages/..._MLE062008.pdf

I see that you are local to them, feel free to drop by and see it in person. I agree, they do excellent work. Did they do the work on your car?
