Lorinser roof spoiler or other brand? I have mine getting painted right now.

I don't care for those wheels personally, too much chrome on the car for me.

It's also missing 4 cylinders and a pair of turbos

You don't think the "sticky" photo thread is sufficient then?

I had gold wheels just like that on my black 350Z Nismo, just painted stock wheels, it looked good to me but was a very JDM flavor, not something I would do on a Benz, not a classy look for a car like a CL.

I agree italianjoe .when I first got the co i thought the wheels would make the car stand out . In my area I've not seen another cl600 in the 9 months I've had it. I don't like the gold now but it's way down the list of things to do to the car . Most people say they love the car but hate the wheel colour . So the sooner they change colour the better .

Offend ppl how so I think they just want what you got? But I'm no even gonna hold you. Black would be dope. What kind of exhaust system you got? I wanna go straight pipe the sound would bring it back right back to life. Do you know of any resonators that increases sound? Or that'll give it a more race car sound with out messing with the cats? Also correct me if I'm wrong cl's don't got resonators right? Thanks Daveb44

Straight through from cats I took out middle box and rear box . Then I welded the original tips back on . Middle boxes were resonators I think . Sounds great now. Not too loud as turbos make it quieter but you sure can hear it when I put my foot down

Also is it bad to really step down on the pedal at take off or while driving just so I could hear that growl? Like will it wear out my engine? I hear these other cars like they just step down every few seconds to make that sound you know what I mean. Mines only sounds like that when I really step down on it and wanted to know if that was bad for my engine, gears flex disc, pulleys and all that? Thanks Daveb44 and slide some photos of the engine and undercarriage, vehicle etc! Can't wait to see the ride

what did you use to bend the pipes, mandrels? Those (2) pieces before 110 115 you removed? I heard those were secondary cats? How could I find out about those pieces Mercedes says there resonator? Indy says there secondary cats? Does any one know? Oh and how much to get the straight piped from the middle boxes? Thanks
