WTF do u know about MY car? my car is not having MAJOR issues. I have been the exact opposite as what u say. MOST people on forums AND in this forum are hush hush about their mods, complications, failures, successes etc. I have been VERY forthcoming. I have NOTHING to hide so I share my experience. The problem is my car swallowed water 3 months ago and I am going the distance to insure that my car is reliable and EVERY measure is taken to make sure my car is a beast. This car is a toy - not my DD. Ur questioning my credibility because ur mad that I wont post my dyno chart for u to compare yours to? Try not to be so transparent with ur motives. Dont hide behind a fake handle. I have met several of these board members who have been around this forum and our cars for a LOOONG time. Ask them about my credibility. Obviously ur a POS - and that never seems to change no matter how many times u change ur Username. Say what u want about my car. Just understand one thing for sure. Ur car will NEVER be as fast or as powerful and u will obviously never have class (let alone going "fast with class" lol). I will single handidly set the stage for next level of mods for our 55k's. And if I fail (which I wont) at least I had the ***** to do what u wont.

Until you post proof of your claims you have zero credibility. You should start taking your Grandfathers advice because all i see from you is a lot of talking and no proof of anything. I hope you get your low power issues resolved.

Talk about ZERO credibility... you don't even own a CLS55 and your mouthing off to a well known member of this forum.

This is a friendly forum and your changing the tone single-handedly.

Your choice "Answer Our Reasonable Questions" ..... or Stop Posting Here.

A. Post pictures of your supposed CLS55.

B. Introduce yourself, whats your name ?

Again
A. Pictures, B. Name C. Mods, D, Area ?

Why does this forum allow banned users to constantly come back under different screen names without any consequences??? The mods need to step up, IP check. And if it is him PERMA ban. Just like M3-Addict should be PERMA banned as well!

Can the front come down that low as well? Also how hard was it to remove the plastic stuff that's in front of the rear wheel?

Thank you. Drivability is about the same. It definitely feels a little tougher at idle but barely noticeable. According to PTE the cams also accent the SC whine too so that is louder - especially at WOT.

BTW - it isnt DONE yet

Yes but i didnt take photos of it because the front bumper is off getting re-painted. I cracked it on a parking bumper

removing those was simple i suppose. i had my tech at MB do it but he says its no biggie. they are not good on white cars because dirt gets caught in the edges and has a tendency to start yellowing.
