CLS55 at SEMA

I tried to start a thread about a customized CLS from Sema this year but it was moved over to the CLS 500/550 section. The reason I posted it here is because I remembered a thread about it here months ago, so don't be so quick to pull the trigger moderator's.

Anyway, I guess the "CLS55" is finished, so here are the before and after threads.

I saw this car up close and personal... the pics don't really do it justice, sitting inside you can see that pretty much every single surface has either been reupholstered or covered in red carbon fiber Hopefully high quality pics of both interior/exterior will emerge soon (I woulda taken some if I'd had my camera on me...)

The exterior paint scheme has a nice silver pinstripe between the two tone as well, which can't really be seen or appreciated in the pics. Also, its not nearly as reddish orange as the pics show, its more a burgundy, like on the Carlsson Aigner (that was actually the first car I thought of, when I saw the overall paint scheme, and how it flows on the body, esp. in the rear). In person, looked much more like this to me:

I took a brief look at the engine as well, I don't remember the mods, I think there's currently a modest hp increase, with more planned in the future. Thought it might be evosport, can't remember...
