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

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...

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.)
