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.

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.
