This is how a Mercedes should look. Now if we can only convince more people to fix up there Mercedes properly, and quit buying fake parts on Ebay!

cl 600 vs cl63

I am deciding between a cl600 and a cl63 AMG with performance package. Leaning toward the 600 for the biturbo. Would appreciate opinions from the group. Thanks.

tint the tail lights like i did to my S63 and that's all it needs.

thanks.. thats the idea behind it... i was considering tinting and smokin the tailights but i saw one in a magazine (RIDES) and it just didnt look right.. i've had plenty of black cars in my time and i have always went black on black tinted up.. but for some reason the cl just doesnt scream " tint me!" by the way.. i was checking out an s63 like yours at the fresno dealer... damn! what a beautiful car! i am itching to pick it up and let me fiance drive the cl... that black piano wood made me cream my pants!

Good work on the PS Murtaza! I think it looks great the way you did it. Definitely better than the stock tail lights. The white part on the stock ones take away from the overall beauty of the car. Making it red brings your attention back to the muscular body.

S63

Wheels look really nice. Hard to find an aftermarket wheel that looks like it belongs, you did it. I just got a 08 S63, Silver with Pano and it comes with 20" stock 5 stars. I like them but keep looking for 22"s. Would your wheels fit on my car? I am in South Florida so I'm not biting my man! Give me the specifics on the name and style and it looks like you cromed them too? Nice car - drive safe.

IMHO, the 600 biturbo torque is a huge plus. The only thing i cannot understand is why there's no AMG bodykit on the 600. (most likely for marketing reasons) That's a huge negative for me!

On the other hand, the 63 engine power delivery is very smooth and the interior is stunning! Both cars are remarkable but if i have to choose one, the 600 will get my vote. (Yes, i am a torque guy)

Hey bud, what kind of wheels are those? GFG is the company right ?

They look good, do you mind if I use them in the MBWorld wiki ?

I feel down being the only one who finds those wheels unattractive.

Thanks.. the wheels are made by GFG model is "nice-5".. .three piece... 8.5 " wide upfront and 11" in the rear.. which gives me a 4" inch lip in the rear.. the face of the wheel is brushed aluminum and the lip is chrome.

the ride is awesome... usually i'll push the air ride suspension lift button if i jump on a long trip on the freeway to save the tread on my tires due to the fact that the wheels camber just enough
