I'm sure your brainstorming your next move...keep up the great work buddy.

I originally wanted to go with white calipers since I have never seen that on a benz before, but then an opportunity to pick up a yellow BBK set came across.
I was uncertain about painting the roof and roof spoiler black that is why I hesitated and did not have it painted. I think that I would have to tint my windows in order for the black roof and spoiler to flow with the rest of the car. But I think I am going to leave it as is for the time being.
Does anyone know of a good muffler shop in the SFV?

I still need to go have my exhaust installed, hopefully next weekend.
Excuse my terrible photo skills, but I snapped a few quick pictures.
Here is a picture before going under the knife:
The new look:
All comments and criticism will be gladly accepted.

CLK 320
Benzoxtc,
The car looks fantastic, especially the fenders. I don't suppose you are looking to get rid of that AMG body kit for a decent price?

Thanks, glad you like it. I will post some more pics soon. In terms of the AMG kit, I have no plans to sell it.....if I ever get bored of the car, I can always part the mods and return it to stock without any hassle.
