Wassup fellow Mb'ers...

I've been a long time lurker but finally decided that it is time to contribute to the forums...so this is my first post.

Anyhow, I recently got my car back from the shop over the weekend and decided to share some quick pics...











Oh and I just had to throw in a pic of my other Toy!!..



I'll snap some more pics over the weekend along with specsheet..But here are some quick pics to officially welcome myself into the community. I'd post more but I gotta get up in a couple hours to snowboard tomorrow!!...

Not feeling the color at all.....it looks like that GM color that they use to paint the GTO's.

NICE! matching Bike and all.

I'd slap wider LIPS on all 4 of those wheels...PM me and I'll tell you where you can get wider lips (IF your wheels are multi-piece)

and welcome!

Avrgsr I really want to know how the wheel flares were done. The color is refreshingly different. I am used to seeing white, silver and black. I think they did an outstanding job on your CLK!

Looks cool my friend! Thanks for sharing! I think some black projectors would finish the look in the front.

PS, new nominee for the calendar!

I'm not sure what to say but I can appreciate the work that went into the car

just get some better wheels that fill in those fenders plus new headlights and you'll be set

what does the rear bumper look like? any pics?

Hey Thanks everyone for the comments...I am looking to upgrade to some different wheels. I'm currently trying to decide what type of an offset I need in order to compliment the new wide body. I just thought I'd shoot a couple of different pics since I just got the car back from the shop.

I think I'm going to run some spacers in the rear for now until I decide which wheel and size I am going to run with.

Again, I appreciate all the feedback fellas...and Thanks for welcoming me into the community.
