No hard feelings intended, but as I was reading this topic, I was thinking that they would look goofy, then when I saw the photo of your car, I knew they were goofy.
The doors are just too big. 4 seater coupes always have big doors. It's unavoidable. In the elevated postion, they look like refrigerators. It might be techy cool and clever, but visually, it is not attractive.
Again, I know I probably offended you, and I apologize for that.

DONT DO IT! they look aite, but imo its not worth it. i too was thinking about doin it 2yrs ago. im so glad i didnt cause they are totally PLAYED OUT now. if u want lambo doors, buy a lamborghini, simple as that
u see these ricer cars that think they are the **** cause of cheap lambo doors. when most likely the cost of doin it was the same as what the car is worth,haha.

Ok, my dad sent me 2 sets of these from china, the hinges actually look pretty strong it comes with 2 hinges and 4 shocks each set. If there is anyone in the Los Angeles area that would like to see them or even know a place to install them cheap let me know please pm me. Im willing to give the second set away if someone can get them installed for me.

I like em..I would do it if I were to keep my car. Even though it's played out or whatever I don't see them very often on a CLK so IMO it can be pulled off but that's just me...hate it or love it all you want but it's my .2 cents...

Im not offended by your opinion. Everyone has a right to express there opinion. You gotta see the car in person to know how it looks. I think your car looks goofy with those nasty rims. Thats my opinion.
