LILRAJA

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,

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

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,

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

Chris Sweden

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

Baby ///M3

Thanks again!

You guys rock.

Jon

onelightmind

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.

Clk&Slk

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

Baby ///M3

Yeap.

You're exactly correct my friend!

I know www.TVTDes******** 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.

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