My CLS Magazine feature.

Just wanted to share an another article with you guys. The magazine is called R.I.X., based in New York. I was very pleased with the article. Thanks for all of your support and encouragement.

P.S. The pics were taken before the drop and the Carbon Fiber Headlights.

Car looks great as usual Brent.

Not to bag too much on the magazine, as any pub is good pub, but the guy who wrote it and his editor need to be fired for all the grammar mistakes in the article.

Mistakes = yes. I agree.

But I was pleased with the style of writing and the delivery.

Great looking car and mods.

If it were me, I would have put my mod $$ in a 55 or 63, notwithstanding the desired performance issues.

Just my $.02 worth.

Thats true, but I decided to go with the 500 because it means more to me to have the base model, but modded to be almost as powerful. This was my vision, and I just had to do it, lol. Plans for the supercharger are in the works, and so far Kleeman is on the top of the list. Picture a 500 keeping up with you on the highway, you just gotta respect that.

However, if I was buying the CLS without making it my project I would go with the 55 or 63.

In my opinion it is worth every penny to buy a 55/63. It actually cost more to add the S/C to the 500, and to do what is needed to get it moving. But this is the path that was chosen.

The prices on thes items are looking really good right now. I'm almost ready to pull the trigger on one.

Jordan's new CF wheel made me put the S/C on hold once again. I just could not resist. LOL

Yea I can imagine. He was saying 1900 per wheel just for 19's. You are getting 21s. I can only imagine what they will cost. That is just crazy to spend 10 stacks on some 21s without tires.
