It's the Passport 9500 radar detector. The controls are in the ashtray and the display is in the mirror.

The car looks great and the ride height and wheel/tire size are perfect but the wheels look cheap on that body style

And black with Tan interior? Really?

I think that the Prior Design W216 kit is the best looking, not a fan of the wheels they used though...

Black with bright interior is my absolut favorit. Just like I did on my S500. Cheap? You know what those wheels cost? $2285 each

I'm not talking price, i'm talking looks, they look cheap imo regardless of price, they just look like something you could pick up at pep boys and were thrown on a $150K car

You can pay $20K-$30K for 30" Chrome wheels, doesn't make them any less cheap looking but it's a matter of preference i guess, as long as you like them that's all that counts

I don't normally like the 'Mocha'/'Wine'? colored interior but that looks very clean with the white exterior

What size tires are those? Did you need to use any spacers?

The car you saw on AutoTrader wasn't this car. I purchased it in August of 2012 then did the mods to it. I haven't listed it anywhere.

The wheels are 20" x 10" ET40 & 20" x 8.5" ET40 KOKO Koture Lindos with Pirelli P-Zero Nero tire sizes (F) P245/35R20 & (R) P305/25R20.

Correction to my original post. The dyno HP is 497 before the Renntech breather box.

Kindest regards,

Ahh, ok, i just did a quick search and found the one i came across again, it wasn't auto trader it was some site called street dreams, they have a cl55 in that color and same tires so i thought it was the same one



Your car looks good, you need to drop it about an inch and a half though and get rid of the chrome on the lip of the wheels imo

I stand corrected, well sort of, that is my car. I took the picture and sent it to my friend Mike who owns American Wheel and Tire. I wonder how "Street Dreams" ended up with it?
