Looks good brother.... I like the bumper lights, I have the same ones, the Depo smoked LED's... I like the headlights too... Question, are you using your stock HID ballasts? Do the headlamp washers still work? I can't see from the pictures, but did you smoke the mirror signal lights as well? I just did mine with thicker vinyl that's similar to clear bra but smoked, I've applied it to many different cars, you should give it a shot it you have a heat gun or hair dryer. Only costs a few bucks on ebay... I'll shoot you a link of the stuff I bought. The light shines through it so it's not just a black vinyl, it's a tint.

Here are a few pics of the 430 I picked up for an absolute steal last month. These will represent the "Before" Pics. I'll take some current pics when we get a break in our rainy weather here in the PNW to show the ongoing refinements.
Nice car! But are you aware you made a hot air intake? The factory intake tubes run through the front grille sucking in outside air (85 degrees on a sunny day). What you created is sucking air from the engine bay (can reach 230 degrees in stop and go traffic). You probably have a throatier engine noise but are losing some power through the hotter less dense intake charge. You would do better with Green Filters or switching to a w208 AMG air box with K&N or Green (flow more than K&N) filters.

They're a replacement filter tested and proven to flow better than K&N. Some users claim they don't seal well or break down over time which I've never seen or experienced. They make the engine sound throatier under acceleration and give a marginal performance gain.

Just picked up this 2001 CLK 430 a few weeks ago. Three owner car, no accidents and only 90k miles. Everything works too. Perfect daily driver for me...Here are a few pics
great looking car and looks in good nic also looks like a great place to drive it
It needed a few things like the tweeter cover, a new steering wheel, floor mats, cps, one new rear tire and new speakers but thats it. Got a great deal and it runs and drives flawlessly.
Yeah, you cant beat Florida for owning a convertible or boat.
