in addition to those mentioned....

there is also:
Auto Couture
Opera Design
Expression

Brabus is nice, it just looks like an addon to the bottom of the standard 320 bumper, but infact it is a whole new bumper, its quite subtle but does give the car a lower profile.

Carlsson has a nice RS kit, infact some guy is selling a really nice setup in the classified section. I feel sorry for the chap, all those mods for 5500? I am sure he lost a great deal of money.

Lorinser makes a nice kit, it sure does standout from the rest, but is really expensive if you ask me.

Auto Couture looks like the brabust kit but adds fender flares. Wald is another japanese company that makes really nice kits.

Check evosport.com for all prices on Lorinser kits. I dont know anyother sites that publish prices for bodykits. Or wheelexperts.com for pictures.

The Wald website didnt have pictures or info on the W208 bodykits the last i checked, seemed like the only mercedes car they didnt have pictures of? Do they make one, and if so can i see pictures please. My dad is ordering a Wald kit for his W140 CL600.

yea... i dont' think WALD makes one for the CLK (w208)

if you want to take a look through some of the choices, give wheelexperts a look. They have a nice aerodynamics section with a variety of pics

I really like the Auto Couture Kit, but can't seem to find anyone that carries it here.... E-mailed to their Japan HQ, waiting for a reply...

FrankW

I think they do. They have them since the CLK came out i think.

mmgrad

xyzpl: check out wheelexperts. they carry the Auto Couture kits for the CLK....

Thanks, called up W.E. today, the parts are more expensive than i thought...

The spoiler is $665, plus maybe $150 for shipping then add maybe $200 to paint and install it.... and I got to wait 6 to 8 weeks.

I can't even begin to imagine how much shipping will be for the complete bodykit...

I guess i might as well go with Brabus or Lorinser... be like everyone else...

FrankW

remember to post some picture once you get it done. Heck maybe i can check out your car in person since you live so close to me...hehe

xyzpl

No Prob, always welcome another car enthusiast!!! When my car is done, you are more than welcome to come check out my car.

We do live very close by, I'm right off Grand Ave.

I use to live in West Covina from 96-98. Then my dad bought a house in Diamond Bar. I went to South Hill High, and proudly graduated on June, 01. South Hill Rocks.

I was just at my friend's house for BBQ up on Hillside dr. (the third street on the left of hillside dr. coming from grand.)

xyzpl

Damm, you were so close!!! I'm on Easthills Dr.

FrankW

i use to live on Holiday Dr. third house from the right.

Just to clarify, shipping from Japan by ocean is included in the price, the extra charge would be for air freight (if desired). If you go by ocean, the only freight you would have to pay is from the port to you, which wouldn't be much b/c you are so close.
