Here Are Some Updated Pis Of My Vip Clk
HI EVERYONE. I KNOW I'VE BEEN MIA FOR A WHILE. BEEN VERY BUSY WITH WORK AND TRYING TO START A LITTLE MANUFACTORING COMPANY. AND I'VE BEEN IN OUT OF TOWN FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS. NUT NOW I HAVE TWO WEEKS TO RELAX BEFORE EVERYTHING STARTS AGAIN. SO HERE ARE SOME NEW UPDATED PICS OF THE CAR. FOR EVERYONE THAT KNEW ABOUT MY TURBO PROJECT ON THE CAR I DID TRY IT BUT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS SOME "BEEFY" PARTS ADDED TO IT TO BE ABLE TO NADLE THE BOOST SO I HAVE TO REBUILD THE TRANNY TO MAKE IT STRONGER TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE THE BOOST. BUT THE LITTLE WHILE THAT IT WAS IN IT WAS A BLAST. BUT IT STILL NEEDS ALOT AND I MEAN ALOT OF FINE TUNNING AND IT NEEDS TO UNDERGO ALOT OF DYNO HOURS. I LEFT ALL THE PARTS ARE IN EXCEPT THE TURBO AND THE WASTEGATE. BUT I WILL KEEP EVERYONE UPDATED. ALL THE COMMENTS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED AND ALL THE HATERS KEEP ON HATING. JOSH CAR IS LOOKING BAD A$$

yes they are the brabus style fog lights and i had to get two sets and make a custom bracket using the stock foglight brackets. i really like them but some people don't which is undersatnable it's just something different that hasn't been done before like the black roof on the clk. but thanks everyone for the great comments. i will post more pics once i finish the hood and finish my quad exhaust.

If I were you I would buy a used set on Ebay so you could do the retro while the old ones are still in your car. You can also go on Hidplanet.com where there are guys who will make you a set for some $$$.
Your grill is hot. I didn't know how it would look on a silver CLK. Is it gloss, flat or powdercoat?

Lately I've seen 209 (the newer CLK) style headlights go for nothing on eBay. People are selling them because the mounting tabs are broken off, but you can extract the projector, ballast and bulb for use in the retrofit. Also, that'll give you the Mercedes style projector bezel.

my carbonfiber hood was custom made for my car by my friends at vis. this is the only one produced by them and unfortunatly they will not reproduce it because it was a joint venture of me and the owner of vis and it was made for show purposes only.(they might produce some in the future but as of right now none) but i am a %100 sure you can find someone out there to make you one and yes it's about 1/7 of the stock hood and the fitment is great because it was made around the stock hood platform and it took about 6 months to perfect it. but search around for sure someone will be willing to make you one for about $600 or so. good luck
