2- youre in the wrong forum this is for AMG cars
3- you dont mention a chassis model or year of your car

2011 cl63 (R.I.P.)
According to interviews with MB execs on the web around the time of the 2011 "facelift" release, everything from the front of the car up to the windshield was modified. So you'll need side panels, hood, bumper, grille, and new lighting assembly. Also, does the LED strip (actually there are two, one in the lower bumper and one in the lighting assembly below the primary headlamps themselves) require any additional wiring or power?
If you are considering spending $16k-$23k on this sort of modification, I'd go with the other poster's recommendation and buy a 2011 or 2012. Heck, if you're a torque fan, the new bi-turbo v8 on the 2011+ CL550 puts out more torque than the pre-2011 CL63's. (516 ft/lb vs 465 ft/lb), so maybe just upgrade to the cl500 or 550 or whatever?
