Guys.... I truly apologize for lagging on the pictures. Unfortunately my car is still being worked on. The shop needed the help of other expertise welders for certain parts. So to make things better, i've decided to show you guys a LITTLE TEASER for you impatient people. :surrender:
PLEASE NOTE: It's still being worked on as we speak
By the way... tell me what you guys think of it so far.
Completed pictures will be posted asap when available!!!

haters crazy
Looks great! Except for the opening on th other side with the tow hook showing. Is this going to be for sale or is it just for you?
Edit: So are you eliminating the spare tire well for the exhaust?

I would assume that the tow hook will be shaved of and a dual exit muffler will be split like mine and turned into a quad set up with an extension to the passenger side. If not he'll do a dummy tip....but I doubt he will get rid of his spare tire and gas tank.....that's way too much work.

Since mine was the prototype, i have the first word in whether i want the mold destroyed or kept. LoL.I would assume that the tow hook will be shaved of and a dual exit muffler will be split like mine and turned into a quad set up with an extension to the passenger side. If not he'll do a dummy tip....but I doubt he will get rid of his spare tire and gas tank.....that's way too much work.
No dummy tips here. Fully functional quad setup.
I was quoted at an exotic muffler place, meaning... they're main cars are mostly Lambo's, Ferrari's, Bentley's, Aston Martins, etc. \
The fabricator mentioned... "Yeah, we can definitely cut out and custom weld your trunk and gas tank area. We just finished doing it on two other W208 CLK's. It's really intensive but it came out looking very unique. Total parts and labor would run you about $2,800 and about 3 weeks of down-time with your car."

Don't trip meng, depending on the situation with the mold, i'll let you know what's up. My favorite part about the diffuser is the exhaust tips openings. It's literally as wide as the SL's. About 11 inches per side. Crazy huh? Gangsta!!!As far as what i have planned for my next mod.... I honestly don't know yet. I have yet to replace my front lower control arms real soon. They're in a terrible state right now. So bad, i can't even get an alignment. What a shame!

As of right now, i'm still debating whether i should attempt to duplicate more of these or not. The ONLY mold available is actually over-seas. Since mine was the prototype, i have the first word in whether i want the mold destroyed or kept. LoL.
Correct.

Thanks
Yes... i do have lots of mods to go. Unfortunately, it takes time cause i'm a full time student at school about to graduate. So basically... it's the funds that's the issue.
No, it was custom molded through a computer picture that i've generated. Pretty impressive huh? I brought it to the shop, and MANY MONTHS later... it's finally on my car.

HaHaHa...
Thanks
I don't think anyone in the right mind would drop that much money on a custom exhaust setup in the first place. I had my exhaust done somewhere else.
