Tell me what you did for the lights. I want to install the xenon lights on my clk. The MB dealer is being difficult to work with because I want custom work, not much help at all. Tell me what I need to purchase for a 1 time install and ride.

thanks for the help
I dont know what do you mean with this but the body shop install the lights for me, all i did is install my HID's back on then and my fogs.

Wow...looks incredible. Can't wait to see pics that show the paint flakes. I love the hood fade...nicely done!

Have you thought about tinting your taillights any? The amg tint or a black tint would really finish off the burgundy/black look. I think the amg tint would be better cuz that white part ends up like a charcoal color like cf and your wheels.

The interior is sick too!

car looks great, only thing i don't love is the grill, it's one too many circles on the front of the car with the round headlights... looks too busy, but that's a personal thing. the hood looks amazing
