New Owner CLS63-Time to Introduce Myself and My Car
Hello,
I have been researching and researching and researching, and after selling my M5 a few years back, I missed the big 4-door supercar and therefore 3 weeks ago decided to pick up a leftover 2008 CLS63 from an ohio dealer. So far i LOVE THIS CAR
...I only got the windows tinted, but plan on doing the clear lights upfront, taking out the charcoal filters and adding HRE rims. The only issue I have had is that my phone will not download the contacts to the command system,but i think it is due to the version on my blackberry.....
The power is addicting, the luxury is expansive, the joy is everlasting...thank you MB.
I hope to learn and contribute to this board asmuch as I can, this is my first benz, following 3 BMWs and oneporsche.

Welcome Diplomat. The car looks great, I'm in Odenton, Md but work in DC so maybe when the weather breaks we can hookup.

You know that if you had bought a black car, it would have had 5 additional hp, right?

Enjoy the addiction.
Suggest changing out the yellow side marker lenses for clears lenses that can be had from ebay. Will make the beast look cleaner.

I found installation easy if the wheels are remove to gain access to the inside wheel well liner/cover. This allows the liner/cover to be pulled back to gain access to the back side of the side marker light unit which can be removed easily and swapped out.
