2003 CL600 Speedriven tune, IC pump, Lowered, Gloss black wheels and griil, red calipers and mirrors. Getting LOTS more attention and doesn't look as dated in my opinion.

Next is red around the lower center grill. remove grill, and leave exposed Speedriven heat exchanger, yet to be ordered.

The updates look good except the red mirrors have got to go, imho
Try a 1 bar grille like eBay item 262382373928

Thanks Tusabes... The single bar grill is played already, and looks like a cheap add-on (to me). Trying to make it more unique and sporty. A contradiction to what I've seen done with these cars.

I was actually inspired by the Porsche GT3 RS color scheme. Has a lot of prescense on the street. Not many cars could pull off those colors and not look ridiculous, but with the right stance, I thought the CL had the chops! Lol... I'm digging it.. More Red!

If you're gonna do red mirrors, commit to the two tone and do a lot more red trim. I'm thinking the front bumper moldings and maybe the strip on the rear bumper at minimum.

Yes Joe... I totally agree with you!!As per my first post, "more red"!

Car goes in Monday for molded protrusion around lower front grill (as in Porsche 997 GT3 RS) to be painted red. I can't tell you how awesome it looks in person. I've been driving this car for years stock, but now people pointing, giving thumbs up, and I even heard two people saying "that things got a V12 in it"! A guy at the car wash yesterday said "love the red mirrors"!

Yes... More red! lol... thx Joe!
