Looks good. Very good. The shark grille definitely draws more attention to the car, but I would not put it on mine. MB needs to produce this. If anyone would like to get a convertible conversion done to their CLS please let me know. The price is $50,000.00 and turn around time is about 3 weeks. All work will be performed in Southern California. PM me if interested.

If you look at the second photo you will see the outline of the sunroof, the car has had a good old 70's vinyl/mercedes cloth roof fitted.

I don't like the grill.

That is one FUGLY CLS. Why mess up a perfectly fine automobile? I'm wondering what his girl looks like, if he has taste like that.

True, its not really a drop top. It's called a few different things such as Landau, Phantom Top...... puke and barf. What a waste of money.

Mercedes CLS would drop in sales if MB ever produced this.

unfortunately this "ASMA" body kit resurfaced once again. I'm pretty sure the car draws attention for all the wrong reasons.

A retractable hard top would look nicer because it would somewhat preserve the body lines of the car, but I still believe a soft top convertible is attractive in itself on the cls. And yes the conversion can be done for about 50,000.

it's NOT supposed to be a convertible or even LOOK like one--

the cloth top is just for looks, they put em on older cadillacs and such in the 80s, landau roof.......

Not trying to fool people into thinking its a convertible, they just thought the style looked good at that time??
