As some of you already knew, our CLK was chosen to be featured in the CEC booth at the Houston Auto Show this year.

I had to raise the car 1" also for the wheels to fit......12mm spacer was needed up front to clear the Brembo brakes

ahh the sacrifices you have to make...sigh :p

As for the Viper:

1. That thing has the widest rear tires i've ever seen on a car

2. That thing is, as they say in the bay, "Helllllla loud"

no, it's just that not too many wheels makers can fit those cars, so you see Anteras on them a lot.

Used to be a CLK430
Hey Peter, I saw your car yesterday, lookin good!! I wasn't impressed by the wheels CEC picked though, the HRE's would have looked better. I asked the guy working there if you were there, he said you had just left, oh well, we will have to talk shop some other time! I'm still curious, how did you change your chrome molding around the windows to black? Did you just buy the OEM for a MY 00+ black car? How hard is the install?
Thanks!!
