Cool I used to want to be like Mike...

but now I just want to be like you!!!

You are going to be killing them for the summer season, the wheels, the fade!!!!!

Couple of questions though:

What spring pad sizes are you running front and rear?
Are you using any kind of camber kit front/rear?

HOW DOES THE HOOD FIT?!?!?

I Am About 2-3 Weeks From Tryin To Cop A Set Of Those Fenders (replica Lorinser Though, Dont Have $4000 To Drop On Real Ones!!!).
--how Do They Fit?
-- If Fiber Glass, How Does It Look Up Close? I Ask Because A Lot Of Fiberglass Looks Kinda Wavey.
-- Where Did You Get The Euro Front Liscense Plate? I Cant Find One (and I've Been Lookin For One For A While Now).
I Really Have Been Meaning To Ask Someone About This.

Yes my fenders had some waves on them so my body guy had to refinish them, now no waves at all. Fitments no problems at all. The license plate here is the link http://www.customeuropeanplates.com/

Few more pics that my boy took.

I am a new CLK lover and your car is SLAMMING. It really should be a show car only. Good job on all the work you've done.

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
