Been busy with work, traveling, family, and other things and haven't had a chance to really focus on my CLS55 but now that I have time, I'm not wasting another moment to continue my build. I'll post additional details as I go along with the build. I'll update a few more pics throughout the day.
I already did the following mods a year ago:
-82mm throttle body
-Kleemann headers
-Primary race cats
-Resonator and second cat delete
-Custom x-pipe
-185mm ASP pulley
-550cc injectors
-K&N filters
-ASP idler pulley kit
-Colder NGK plugs
-Eurocharged Heat Exchanger
-Eurocharged ECU tune
-Meziere water pump
Now I'm getting the mod bug again and am now doing a body kit, wheels, and more motor mods! The build begins again!
My new kit arrived a few weeks ago. It's the first Prior Design PD600 body kit in the U.S.

The PD600 kit is the best I've seen for the CLS, aggressive, yet keeps that OEM look, I think other tuners over do our cars, and the end result looks a mess to be honest... The CLS styling is one of a kind, the PD600 only enhances it.
I love your mods, and I'm totally copying you!
, I even love that work space style and decor!, WOW!
Who did your headlights?, mine need some clearing up...

Thanks man! Peter at ACG will take care of you if you need one!
Thanks bro! I appreciate it!
Thank you! Just trying to be different!
Hang tight my brotha! More on the way!
Thanks for the kind words man! I love the way this PD kit looks. Oh and thanks for the kind words on the decor. It's something I love doing to my home. As far as the headlights, Progressive Autosports here in Houston, TX did them and they came out amazing!
That is correct Carlos!
Thanks again man!

Alrighty a few updates. Been so busy with work but finally had time to get some photos uploaded. I did the re-assembly one late night about a week ago in my garage. Here is a small update! = )
Newly painted dash in Piano Black
Putting it all back together
My E(moving) Lowering Module V2 with remote! Thanks Marcus for this smoking group buy deal you did on PSC!
Installation process. PIN swap!
Kenwood Screen going back in
My dumb @ss forgot to give the body shop the Screen faceplate and upper bar to paint Piano black as well. It's comng back out this weekend to get paint matched. Sheesh. In the mean time, here is what it looks like SOMEWHAT pieced back together.
Roof Spoiler paint matched
A better look at the Matte Black Housing headlights. Ignore the dust. It's a little dirty.
Tires arrived!
Had the chrome window trim wrapped in matte black
The Prior Design bumpers looked great and I thought I could get away with just the AMG side skirts but after further evaluation I determined it definitely needs the PD side skirts. These just arrived yesterday and thanks again to Peter at ACG for getting these to me so quickly. A special thanks to Ray at Prior Design as well for additional support. So the car went back to Progressive Autosports to be painted and installed.

Here is a side (3/4 angle) shot that was taken by District Speed during the Eurocharged open house event a week and a half ago. Side skirts are on and I also added matte black to the front bumper air slits. The District Speed videographer is back there in that photo doing some sick video shots of the rear. They have one video up buy I think there is another. I'll post those as well. I didn't want to debut the car in public with this kit with the stock wheels but there's no way I was missing Jerry and Jake's Grand Opening event. The new wheels arrive this week! I can't wait!
BTW, here is my dad's CLS55 right next to mine. He has a Prior Design body kit on the way as we speak. His car goes straight to the body shop as soon as the kit arrives! = )

Damn you Peter! Stop teasing me! =)
Thanks man. It's actually Granite Grey. Kind of a rare color. It changes colors depending on the time of day. One minute it looks baby blueish, the next it looks like a dolphin grey.
