Hey Guys, thanks again! we got all orders. Just wating on 1 or 2 peoples credit cards to go threw. I did however already order the trunk today. I should have it in a few days so we can get started on this.


Regarding the side skirts, it is something we can do. However, I would like to first finish up the spoiler before we do that. Even though we are taking on this other large project any day now. I will probably be able to somehow fit side skirts in the schedule.

nice Neal I'm definitely in for the side skirts! I think that would be the perfect addition to my diffuser, lip, and spoiler.

Btw Neal, do you have any decals I can put on my car from Euroteck?

Do you think you will have some by the time the spoilers are finished? Can you send me a couple with the spoiler if you can? Thanks

i'm just trying to add on more work and stress to your already busy schedule so maybe you will have a break down and take some time off for a vacation for yourself.

I ordered a CL600 and somehow Fedex only delivered the trunk? just kidding!

This showed up today! so now its time to get our hands dirty! We will be cutting the trunk to make it a lot smaller, it is to bulky and hard to work with now. Once you see what it looks like soon, you will all be glad you did not ask to donate your trunk to make this!

Awesome! Hey Neal, how are you? I was wondering, how do you plan on going about designing the spoiler? Will you draw it out first and see how the spoiler design clashes with the trunk? How is that process done

Good question!

We use a few different methods when creating our parts. Sometimes they are designed in CAD, sometimes it is done by hand from copying a picture of a style, and sometimes it is modifying a similar part to fit a new application. In this case for the spoiler it is a mix of a few things. It will be designed and created all by hand with clay and fiberglass, from small reference points we marked on the trunk, as well as a picture of the CLK black series spoiler. Our engineer is very good with his hands! And the parts come out very good. We also use some other very creative methods, which we feel are exclusive to us, and this is sadly why you usually do not see pictures posted during the process, we do not want our proven unique methods to get copied by competitors.

Thank you. I love the creative process and knowing how you make something from nothing. That's cool, I wish I could have an engineer to just make me custom parts!
One day lol
I can't wait for this!

Hi Neal,

Don't know if you had a design in mind already or still experimenting on how it will look..
But I spotted that new Renntech Spoiler for the W216..under news on the Renntech site.
http://news.renntechmercedes.com/
Looks wonderful even though it looks a little large for me but I could get used to it.

Maybe it'll inspire your final design..

Yeah, someone posted that spoiler here already. Its ok, but we will not be doing that design. We already have a good design in mind, that will look even better! I cannot wait to have it ready to show you guys.

Hmm....
I like it, but then I don't lol. Some angles compliment it and some don't. I need to see it in person, it does look agressive tho.

Oh nice! What are you thinking about? Any subtle designs that you are trying to implement? I'm very interested now lol

Well, we are still using the original design we all agreed on at first, the stock CLK Black series spoiler, and with a few tweaks to that style it should look amazing on the CL!
