I'm more interested in the rear under body spoiler, and the quad-exhaust.

How much does that run, separately, and in total.

Thanks!

ps. That is a wicked ride. From what I'm reading, its got a lot more bite then bark. SWEEET!!!!

Thanks for the compliments! I am incredibly happy with how the car turned out. As soon as I get some high res pics, I will post them. The kit is not a MH-Dezent kit. Please call me for details.

Thanks,

Ben

Hi, I'm new to the group....well actually I've been following for a long while now but have never posted. Anyway, I just wanted to say that your car looks amazing Ben! I'm so envious right now. I want that dual exhaust and rear bumper...last time I called you guys were not selling it yet. Is it available now? I want one! Also, what did you use to get your car so shiny????

First, welcome to the boards, I hope you find MBWorld to be a great place to hang out.

Yes, the kit is now for sale. Please call or email me for further details on the kit. The exhaust is custom made, and will be available upon demand shortly. It is a completely mandrell bent system from the cat back. Over 15 hours of labor was put into designing and fitting this prototype system before the show. This and an entire system, from the headers back, will soon be available.

Thanks

Ben

More pics...

Here are more pics of the car before we installed the exhaust system. Honestly, pictures don't do this car justice! I'm almost sorry I sold my CLK55

Ben,

Your car look good but why do you park it right next to that silver Ferrari, it kindna make your car look like on the low end brand. The body kit you has on is surprisingly cheap compared to other body kit. It like almost half price compared to other kit. I saw it in "Performances Products" catalog.

Hehe, I think that just about any car parked next to a Titanium 550 Maranello would look "low end" . I wish everyone can see this car in person...it's absolutely gorgeous!

I'm more interested in that 550 maranello in the first picture...

nah...just kidding...they are both equally SWEET.

i think the only MB that wouldn't look cheap next to the 550 maranello is the SL55 AMG

I'm not sure how you can conclude the quality of the body kit from the pictures- the quality is actually very good, as is the fitment. And what are you comparing it to? As I said, you need to see this car in person, but we all have our opinions.
I'm not talking about cheap qaulity but cheap in prices compared to Lorinser, Brabus, Renntech, AMG..etc. I really like the body kit for the prices that they are selling for. I believe that front spoiler is less then $500 compared to other front spoiler from $900-$1300 !!!

Thumbs up Awesome CLK

...That is one wicked ride Mach430!!! I was at the Evosport shop last Friday morning getting the pulley kit installed and Josh said stick around cuz Ben's CLK is coming in later for some final tuning before the show...but I wanted to beat the Friday traffic back to the Valley...However, I'm getting the intake manifold done tomm. maybe I just might get lucky
