The CLK sunroof is optional equipment - only the CLK55 AMG, that variant comes with most all of the options (except Comand, CD changer, phone), including the $200 ski sack option which is probably pretty under-utilized by most folks.

When I special ordered my car, I had to include the sunroof package (K3 for coupes) to get mine that way.

For the North American market, most cars built for dealer stock have the sunroof option package. Some customers (very tall ones) might special order a car w/o the sunroof to have extra headroom.

But most luxury car buyers in N.A. expect sunroofs. Otherwise, the dealer with have a tough time selling one w/o the sunroof when most are equipped in that manner.

Benzzzzz - you are the #1 mod PIIIIMP - that looks really really good - and coolest part is how unique it is. The roof spoiler looks great up there in black. The look of your whole car is really well tied together - tint will put you over the top bro.

Alright guys, Im gonna get black wheels soon. Either powdercoat the center of the current ones, pick up some DPE's form lowryder, or buy the HRE's (refinished with black center) from a friend. Also getting 20% done next week. Still contemplating painting the silver strips black, not 100% sure yet. Just got home from the DC auto show, it was WAYYYYY better than previous years. My friends dad was choosing between a Phantom and Maybach 57S. He already had the Continental and a rack of other cars. Got some import models info, she said she'd pose with my car for free (got some pics with her as well), and she's HOTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! She told me to come back at 9 when she gets off and we can do whatever but I dont feel like driving back. Maybe Ill post some pics of her later (gotta upload them to the computer). What do you guys think about lambo doors?

Why don't you photochopp some black powdercoat into the center of your Sevas rims, do another chopp with DPE's and a third with black center HRE's and then post up some tantalizing pics for all us pikers to see (of the chopps AND the chick) but before you get started with all that biz, **ck the PM's about the meets, PM me the model's number and I'll knock some severe % off those HRE's sitting in the garage.... I can see it now:

"yeah baby, I'm the guy from the car show....."

"are you sure - you look thinner and older than before...


My 2 cents, I think lambo doors look cool

you know what this might sound stupid but it kindda bothered me that everyone is like that's so original and it's pimp nod and you got ***** for doin the black roof. i have to say the car looks sick but the roof is not original in any way i had it done almost 2 years ago and i have seen three other cars that have done it so there is nothing original about that roof that was on my car a long time ago and the pictures were posted along with the roof spoiler in black. but back then it was gay and ricer. but ahmed the car looks great i love the rims and trust me pait the strips it looks 10 times better just lf you like refer to my pictures and you can see the deiffrenec. and black rims would look great thats the theme that i went with and i love it. it looks like you like the same style so check out the pics.

who wants to be a tough guy? cuz all i got to say about that is Fu.. off. if you have a problem come to me in person and we can take care of it. i am way too old for youre stupid tough guy ****. other than that i said that this will sound stupid. but when me and josh k were talking about the black roof everyone was like eww, ehh and crap like that how come now it's the cool thing. and this has nothing to do with Ahmed's car his props are well deserved( good job man) the whole thing behind this is that some suckers here talk alot of ***** and judge too early before seeing the **** and as soon as they see the **** they become fans and jump on the band wagon. so ahmed good job man car looks great and you get mad props from me because you are not one of those narrow minded idiots that can't be original and do something different. and is constantly complaining and *****ing about the problems this car has. if yall want to cry about what i said before, all i have to say is go REALLY mod youre car and then come and talk!!! adding AMG rims, doing black window trim, tint, pedals, shiftknob, flat hood emblem and **** like that is not a mod. if you want to see a real moded car look at josh k, amed's car and a few others on this fourm and learn and quit youre complaining about how horrible the clk w208 is if you can't take it sell it and get a scion XA comes with a huge warranty!!!!
