Aftermarket fenders never line up properly with the hood. I wouldn't do it. stick with the engine upgrades you're doing.

Not necessarily.

I have the ebay lorinser fenders and I was able to get them to line up. A good body shop shouldn't have any problems.

I say on this board there are a huge amount of different views so ultimately pick things you like and feel the money is worth spending on.

They're nice but I think I would rather have front bumper/apron from the CLK63 (pictured) which might very well fit. As far as wheels are concerned, do you know how heavy the lorinser wheels are? I ask this because I know you are very performance oriented with your C55. Perhaps Renntech Monolites?

I have a set of the same 19 x 8.5 & 19 x 9.5s LM6s that I will sell for $3000 and you don't have to pick them up in Florida. I never mounted them and they are still in their original boxes. I will even pay for shipping. PM me if you are interested.

The lorinser body kit looks very nice on a C55.

I held a set of monolites and it was super light. and i hald a lorinser wheel (crome) and it was very heavy. Monolites are at the top of my list its just a matter of getting the funds together.

I'm inclined to think so but I'm not 100% certain. There are a few posts about doing this when the CLK 63 first came out but being that it was brand new at the time there were none available to order. I'm not sure if anyone has followed up with this since then. If you want to try something different I'm probably going to sell my never installed EuroTek CF lip for about half the retail cost.
