Hey what are the best mods i can do with my 2004 Cl500?

all ideas are welcomed

 

Get a CL600

 

where in md r u?
i just drove a 04 cl500 and was not super impressed with it.
i love the way it looks and probably end up getting it anyway.
but i thought it felt a little sluggish.

what color did u end up getting?

 

i HAD A 2003 S600 and hated it,

i choose a black one, it isn't that sluggish, i have got 0-60 times using my g-tech of 5.5-5.8 sec,



any one have real ideas

im getting rims, so that taken care of,

 

def. looks nice.
what wheels r u getting?
how much did u pay if you don't mind me asking. U can PM me the number and also what was the mileage on it?

 

Clear turn signals, exhaust, slotted vented rotors (when you need brakes) akebono euro pads (just tried em and they give NO Squeal and NO brake dust.... keep them new 20's clean.... Lower that ride... there is a good DIY in this forum

You can change all the bulbs to match the hid color, kits are on ebay.
Get a sprint booster. <------- not an option, you have to get one
Add a real sound system..... yours sucks, I know.
Add the bluetooth puck to use a new phone via bluetooth.... may do that also
Add a dension ice link to gain an ipod or HD... (on my list also)
Kleeman supercharger.
Upgrade your software... there are many

not much else...

If I were you I would get the clear corners, rims, drop, sprint booster, system, exhaust...... in that order and worry about whatever else later. PM me if you need any more info on what I did, and how I did it inexpensively

 

onelightmind:

Your clear bumper markers look very nice.

Could you tell me if yours are the same as the ones for sale on eBay?

If so, did you have to take off your bumper to install them?

Thanks!

Jon

 

Jon,

Yes and you just pop the yellow len out from the bumper to replace it.

 

You dont have to remove the bumper..They just pop right out.

 

Thanks again!

You guys rock.

Jon

 

ebay... yes

BUT!!!! Make sure you buy the lenses WITH the stealth bulbs. If you don't the bulbs you have are white. If you replace with orange ones they will not be white in the sun. SO, spend the extra and get the stealth bulbs. ALSO, coat the corners where the plastic pieces fit together to make the lens with a thin bead of silicone to prevent water getting in in a high pressure car wash. If it does it will burn your bulb or it will shut the bulb off when it overheats (throwing a malfunction msg) Do it it is worth the money.... get rid of that annoyingly bright orange eye sore.

 

whats a "sprint booster" and whats the easiest way to improve the stereo while keeping the nav headunit stock? can i just add an amp and subs?

 

OMG we have to make sure we stop any and all conversation about sprint boosters! Just do a search and you will get an abundance of bad and mostly good info. I have one and urge you to do the same.

 

I just installed sprint booster on "BABY///M3" CL 500 and he LOVE IT !!

 

Yeap.

You're exactly correct my friend!

Jon

 

Linh...do you have another set (non AMG) or know where i can get it which having to order it from the UK.

Thanks,

Tuan

 

I know www.TVTDesign.com supplies sprint boosters for the Mercedes Crowd. They advertise a lot on the other benz forums and Crossfire forums.

Heard nothing but good things about them. I picked up my booster from them.

 

1. amg sport body pkg
2. tastefull 20'' wheels/tires
3. lower
4. tint windows

 

Pretty much my exact car, except it started as an AMG so I did not need item 1. Good choices.
