Clean pics of the new kit....
Ok so the weather has finally given up a break in Portland, and was able to get the car washed today and took a couple pics. But because it was getting close to sunset and I was heading back to work, I could only get a couple. At least now you guys can see what my bumpers look like all cleaned up.

Happy owner of '98 CLK 320
Very nice car!
And that front bumber really fits the sideskirts amazingly well.
I hope you are still happy about getting it, even though it took alot of time and money.

What front bumper is that and why was it so expensive (based on one comment above). I'm only 3 hours north.. maybe I'll come down and stalk you so I can get a closer look at that front bumper. I need a new one and that looks pretty sweet.

Thanks all for you comments! Deyainrdy4ds, I agree with you on the rear. It really needs an exhaust set-up to make it look right. I have to take my car back to the shop for a couple of small things, so I'm going to talk to my guy about having him do a second cut out for a dual exhaust. But I really think that will help.
Its actually a cheap full kit that I bought off of ebay, which was why it ended up being expensive. I paid around $800 for the whole thing, but ended up paying alot more just for it to look right on the car. Its one of the UR-S bodykits on ebay. If you have a good body shop, I recommend the kit, but also be prepared to spend some extra cash because it'll pretty much turn into a custom bumper set up. I'm in Portland/Beaverton area, the car is easy to spot if you want to check it out!

Little Angel,
The more I look at the kit I realize that now you need some really aggressive offsets or wheels to go with that rear bumper. You need kick out those rear wheels to compliment the transformation you've done with fender rolling also, you may also need a trunk spoiler because the rear bumper is chunky and aggressive. It's just a suggestion. The cheap route would be just to get some 20mm or 25mm spacers for the rears and roll the fenders. Then look for that special trunk spoiler you want.

I definitely want the trunk spoiler and have been looking at em, any suggestions on where to buy from? And I would like to show off my 275 rear tires, so the fender rolling and spacers would help that out, not too mention, once I get my 20's I'll end up doing that anyone...right? I'll definitely look into that, because the rear is definitely missing something and that plus a dual exhaust set-up should fix that problem.
Thanks for the suggestions!!!!

Ooooh ya, I do, plus I think people are suprised when they see a little blonde pop out of the driver seat!!! I also get plenty of unwanted attention from the cops. I've already gotten pulled over twice this year.

I'll check fleabay. I'm not opposed to doing a little work for a good result, the front end there looks great! So.. are there any PNW MBZ group tours/drives coming up?
