that's a logo from a very well respected Japanese merceds, lexus, lambo and ferrari tuner in Chiba (outside of tokyo) Japan. if you can understand Japanese it reads "VIP STYLE" and the sticker is hand made very rare item that i highly doubt anyone has ever seen or heard of in the U.S. and for the turbo as i mentioned earlier i'm not doing it anymore it was too much on my tranny so it was scrapped. the car is a daily driver and i drive to VEGAS alot so can't do it. i'm just trying to get into a lmbo that's fast as hell already just needs some wheels.

Its still a Japanese flag on a German car. In my opinion, kanji on German cars is an abomination. Your car, your call.

Questions:
About the Harmon Kardon Ipod kit, did you have to sacrifice your cup holder?

Are you just running a stock 320 engine? I'm surprised you didnt follow through after putting all that money in R&D. Any more engine plans? Thats a pretty agressive looking car (and BRABUS badge) to be running around with 215ish hp on tap.

Square rear view mirror. I'm assuming its a video monitor, am i right?

as far as the square rear view it's a broadway mirrior( japanese vip style mirror i am assuming hated by geramn car enthus...) the car definatly has engine work done along with ECU work, full custom exhaust sys and many more thing to mention and my transmission is definatly stronger than any 320 out there because it was rebuilt by a MB master mechanic who is well known around south cali. as for the car it's pushing way more than 215 that anyone would think it has alot of work and time invested in it. and the brabus badging is not to claim horse power it's a part of their styling package that i got when i purchased the interrior pieces. the turbo was scrapped because of the tranny even my tranny was struggling. so i'm just using the car as a daily driver so no more money into it just keep it clean and reliable. and spend my money on the car that i mentioned earlier. once my engine goes out i will have a W211 e55 komp motor and tranny swap but not yet when that happens. which will probably be after i get into my lambo not now for right now focus is going on buying a house and my lambo and plus i am getting married next year and belive me it ain't cheap.

It looks too much like "The Fast and the Furious" to me, but hey, it's your ride.

Nice muffler!

oh of course. but mine is kinda in between VIP and sport. but it's koo i respect everyone's opinion and am not here to change anyone's opinion. but i am very happy with the results of my car and i appreciate everyones input and comments. that's what makes a great discussion. if everyone liked the car then it would be boring and it wouldn't push people to new ideas and all the clk's would look the same. and thats one thing i appreciate about the people here some of us might have the same kits but everyone has something different somewhere which makes it great you see this great car in all different shapes and styles.

What bulbs/LED's did you use for your city lights? I still haven't gotten around to putting any in mine. BTW your car looks nice, to bad you didn't finish up on the turbo setup. I was really looking forward to that, keep up the good work!

fitting the w210 lights was way easier than i tought it just too a long time and a lot of exact cutting on the housing and resealing the housing. back to make it water proof.

You got a very nice 320 VIP, I like the interior work, I'd like to put some color into my interior one of these days. I really like the way you setup your piping, I love when CLK320 and 430 owners do the Dual/Quad exhaust systems, but now I wanna hear it....lol.

when i think of VIP i think of black whips with chrome rims on bags dropped to the ground. imo that car looks terrible. you can appreciate the tuning company in chiba plenty without putting a sticker on your car that says so in kanji. did they tune your car? why are you repping them? just because theyre highly respected and the sticker is made by hand? can you tell i hate cars with stickers on them, especially girls wit those f***in flowers. but again, its your car, and im glad youre happy with it. also glad it doesnt look anything like mine, although i do want those headlights.

no. i actually had to take the secondary pipe out for time being because of the backfiring problem that it was creating. but i will work on it again in about 3 weeks. right now i'm busy with work stuff and trying to get my stock broker license so i will start work on my car again as soon as i'm done. stay tuned....

you are simply a moron.......it's one thing to say it's not my style or not my taste but to come on and tell someone there car is terrible is simply wrong/stupid...... no wonder other people say benz driver's are stuck up and stupid......it's because people like you........learn some respect.......
