Finally gonna mod my Cab...wut do u guys think??

I've had my 01 Cab since new. It's already lowered with H&R springs and had 18" Brabus Mono V's and Chrome AMG Mono's on it. I've had the Brabus bodykit in my garage for a year and a half but never put it on. Now I've decided to finally do my car.

New stuff with be:
H&R cup kit
19" Lowenhart BR5's or BS5's
Pioneer AVH 7400 DVD
dunno wut speaker setup yet
opera design hardtop (maybe)
Sport grill
color matched sidemarkers

This is what I need some input on though. Which bodykit would be better.
Carlsson RS
Opera Design front and back with AMG sides
or
the Brabus kit that I have in my garage?

Any suggestions would be helpful....Doesn't neccessarily have to be these 3 kits....

Thanks

If you decide to get the opera design hardtop, post some pics and also if you find out the price, let me know also. I might be interested in getting one too.

I've asked the importer here before and he quoted me around $10,000.00 Cdn. Might have been a little high, but it will be around there, so lik 5-7 thousand USD.

I love my Kenwood kvt-911, it is cool with the touch screen, the downfall is your screen gets smear quite easily...

also you wold want to get the kenwood navigation, there is no touch screen function of you get another brand...

Thanks,
I'm looking at a KVT910 with the surround sound proccessor and the center speaker for $1000.00 US from a friend of mine.

What speakers would you recommend for the CLK 320 cab with no Bose?

AMP requirements?

Thanks again

I was thinking of getting the center speaker too, goes perfect in the 2nd din slot.

I am using Diamond speakers right now and loving it, for subs i am using 2 JL's in my custom trunk, which still allows me to use 80% of my trunk. Amps is where i went cheap... I am running 2 Eclipse amps for everything.

If i had the money, or the determination, i would get Macintosh amps...

I would like to see your car with the Brabus kit, there are too many CLK's with the Calsson kit around. Post pics if you go this route.
