Aggressive Time Attack Setup?

I'm dying to do this to my CLK55. What are you guys' thoughts? It's very exciting, and not tradition "Mercedes Benz," but why not have something different? I've posted a thing or 2 about it before, but here are some good pix, and a POLL! Vote Please!

Dont like the wheels so much nor the red line around the grill, but just the red circle around the amg logo on the grill would be bada*s

The wheels with RED look MEAN AS HELL!!!! The red around the grill would have to be very thin and not too damn loud to pull that off correctly. Make it blend a little better.

I think it looks aggressive. The wheel pic is a photoshop pic too right? I think why you are at it, black out the side marker lights, the orange lens wont go well with the red pinstripe on the wheels! I especially like the front but like Greg said, a nice subtle red stripe nothing too loud, then you get a little ricer imo.

I agree with DA about blacking out the side marker. Either paint them or get the smoked ones. Rolling430 just put the smoked ones on her black car and they look really good.

Happy owner of '98 CLK 320
hehe, I have to say, you'r car will remind me of my old Cervin Vega speakers, and I am not quite sure if that is super cool, or just a little off my taste.
But... do it, and you will have your own unique car!
