I'm not going wide body, just some really crazy fender flaring with pulling and rolling. A wide body would hide the wheels. opal208 told me where I could get the lips I needed and it helped me find other sources because I needed a resale number to go to the place and buy what I wanted.

The flat black thing is just a thought right now.

I just got my car waxed yesterday but the wax before wiping off was a flat black and actually looked cool. If i had more mods like you i would do it, but def a different idea.

The old rear lip will be added to the front and the new rear lip will go on the rear wheels.

19x9.5 = 3" lip
19x11.5 = 4.5" lip

It should look really crazy to because I will be stretching my tires for that VIP look but on a CLK. I'll be rolling a hybrid style car.
sam,

don't do it, it's not worth it......i could see if you went widebody then yea but if you do it right ,the paint job is going to cost you alot.....

i'd paint it a different black if your going to paint the car...

I think its looks great overall. The only thing I dont like is the pecker in the middle of the rear bumper. Everything else is awesome.

No, the flat black thing is just a thought and will not happen this weekend, the wheels and fender flaring will.

yeah it does look kinda weird...i should jus cover the sunroof too loll...

na but i plan on doing the hood up the middle in flat black...as well as the top of the trunk lid in flat black...........so u think id be better off doing the roof in flat black too to match or gloss so it doesnt look weird......the wheels are gunna be flat black eventually as well...

im gettin this dun tomorrow and he ordered the vinyl already i believe but he might have some gloss black in stock so we'll c.....i think im prob jus gunna go with flat so it all matches :-/

heres anotha pic i had seen (the last one) ...

in that pic, i have those pics but it'll take a while to show you close ups but the first guy did flat black viynl but changed it to gloss later.....

it might look better if you cover the sunroof too but no idea how that'll look but if you don't cover the roof i say do the roof in gloss and then do everything else in flat.....

thats what i'm doing with the bimmer.....i have flat black accents here and there but the roof will be gloss black painted on tuesday...

the flat black looks good but you see how the sunroof kills it, if you cover that too then i say go flat but then you'll have no view out of the sunroof when it's not open

I did it all and will be posting some pics later today. My rear tire is stretched to much so I will need to go up in tires size like a 275/30/19 stretched on the 19x11.5 instead of the 245/35.
