Thumbs up SO SWEEEEETTTT

Beauphus, Love the look. Very Clean A+. Question, what type of HID set up do you have on your headlights and fogs? Can you pass along the price and name brand. Thanks

they are all 6000k (fogs n low beams) that match perfectly. came from James @ ACGSD. he is on the forum quite a bit. the city lights are LEDs from ebay. here is the link:

Sweet thread, and congrats on everything bro!
I have the same ELM, but I didn't get the remote. Can you get the front as low as the rear? I can't

What I've found to be a good way to get the CLS lower or more consistent front to back was... Take STAR DAS when the car is in the stock ride hight and auto level the car. It will balance out front and back until a readings reach "0". Then lower the car. If that doesnt help you. you can upgrade to Renntech V3 ELM that allows you to dump the car well into the weeds, front and back. Much lower than the V2.

I had the V3 and the front got stupid low, you really could only drive it straight at that point... Ive changed to the V2 since, which I actually like better... but i dont think it goes as low as the beauphus CLS without sitting for a few hours

I agreed with most of the CLS crowd , It's a great breaking new ground re-build for the CLS 55'ers , but I want to see some Dyno #'s and so quarter mile times , top speed something .... That's the only point to all the time , sweat, stress, money...in these cars. The car sounds & looks fantastic ,,, love it ,,, I watch the video's over & over ,,, Like to have mine like your's Beauphus we want to see and enjoy your #'s Good or bad we support U. Badm

honestly i have not driven the car all that much. i havent tracked it yet - still waiting on my drag radial setup. this car has been a long and cumbersome process. my last dyno netted 560hp and 610tq on a mustang. the exhaust is too loud so i am probably not staying with it. see here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmmmYOZhbfA

next up is some more tuning by OEtuning hopefully at the end of this month as well as these goodies...


hopefully soon the project will be complete. i have a bunch of other goodies on the way yet. ill update next week most likely with some more stuff...
