To tresx. This my first clk i bought back in 1998 when every one was on the wait list, i was one of the first to get my 1999, I was 18 years old then. I don't work or even have to work for that matter and this is something i enjoy doing, i've done the same to my 05 sl55 the lambo doors and my LX470 is sitting on 24 with the rear doors suicided. So as far as your comment that anyone could afford this, what you make in a year, I probably SPEND ON TAXES. so don't try to dogg on someone you don't know. If you don't like the car thats fine but to insult someone, that just childish. This is just to see what people like or don't like about the car, nothing personal.
He's actually hurt by what we said and is about to cry.

actually, i'm about to cry as well.....not cuz you guys clowned him so much, but by looking at that hideous POS he created.
To the owner of the "V12":
Buddy....you don't need to brag about your income. We don't care how much you make, or how rich your family is. You could be Warren Buffett's left ball for all we care. The funny thing is that even with all the money you claim to have, you didn't spend one cent on learning how to tastefully mod your car.
You posted the pic of your car, asking every member's opionion. Don't get all butt-hurt when nobody likes your car.
Anyways....to each his own. It doesn't matter what other people think of your car. As long as you like it, that's all that matters....*cough* *cough*

Can you actually fit a V12 in there?!?!? I'd like to see if it really does and hear how what was done. Can you post pics of the engine?

I guess I touched a nerve.....anyhow....for someone with no income, what kind of taxes are you paying? LOL Now go to your room, or I'm gonna tell your dad that you wasted his money on "that"!

well what ever u like man but there is some non quality work my friend... the skirts are the replicas the originals where much better, u have the lorinser rear with a 00+ front which really does not flow... the sl grills r fine lambos are just cheap shots for getting attention... the rims are very out of place... my 2 cents put the lorinser skirts and front remove the v12 badges and that chrome m3 thinngy in the rear and invest in some 'normal' looking 19" wheels preferably black with polished rims you will have a beauty... well that my 2 cents i am not hating nor am i being Mr Know it all just advise...

Get Axis Milanos in 19 inch or Carllson 2/5 rims. Those would make this car look 100 times better - the rims right now are making me not like the car.

Man alot of people hated on this ride, lol, c'mon it's not THAT bad, the rims are ridiculously utterly most hideous in it's class, the bad grilling, and the "V12" badge, it could always be re-done up, just...minus the replicas and your good to go!

Anyone else notice that the impact strip is missing a piece on the front and that the strip on the doors doesn't match the bumpers?
I don't mind the lambo doors but the rims are barf, the stick on hood vents and M3 gills are lol, and the V12 badges are ROFL.
Other than that it's not bad.

Dude. You need to sell those rims, slap some 24's on it and shoot for Donks magazine. You'll get positive responses with that crowd. That things make me want to buy if from you and restore to original. Poor car.

Lambo doors...they look good in my opinion. definately a crowd pleaser.
The rims...those should go on a Hyundia or be burned...dude if you got the $$$ get a nice set of rims! Carlson or Loriser...
This is a tough crowd so don't ever come back with rims like that again lol !!!!

you should take off the v12 badges and put V-TECH badging on instead!

Look...all you have to do is get rid of the wheels and some may dissagree but I think also the grill and go to stock grill and lower the car. And definately the V12 badges have to come off. Once that's all done just get some sportier rims that are staggered...maybe a silver center and chrome lip and you will be doing very well in the looks department with all of us and probably your neiborhood to. But if you don't care....then just rock your look and enjoy it.
And one more thing...you should color match all your grey moldings to silver.

This car is decent right? But, it's only a FUZZ away from really really nice. IMHO it could use:
1) (definitely) 19" silver wheels w/ chrome lips
2) color matched side strips
3) V8 badges instead of v12 (if its a v8, nothing if its a 6)
4) cool front bumper...lorisner or carlsson
Seriously, if these changes were made, who thinks it wouldn't be pretty sweet?

...that pretty much sums it up for me
