lol ya good points...hes not only givin away the info for free but said he'll perform all the labor for free....and i def realized that no one contested the sht hes said...not one post about it ...and hes only like a 19yr old kid...sum typa genius lol...ive looked up his past posts and everything too...everything seems straight..the haul is what im most worried about i think....and i gotta get the money to start which is delaying it a bit too.......he said he'd need the car for a week and my vacation time from work will already be gone by then so i cant stay for it....i told him i can do a 3 day weekend but he said itd be tough so transporting it there is probably the only option....
Of course I'd B h8tn 2

It will look nice as long as it's done right. look at some of my posts. I did the clk209 front and the cl63 rear about a year ago and it came out great and up to this day I still have no problems with either one.

No, I got ahead of myself with the badge. I am making engine mods to get as close as possible to the actual AMG. I have priced charging and whatnot versus trying to cram a v12 inside there. I'm slowly trying to get there.

A little word of advice...Don't try and fight the AMG battle with a Non-AMG car (like mine LOL), especially on this board
They are very touchy about what should and shouldn't be badged an AMG and only the AMG factory was able to make that decision on our behalf.
Hell, you should de-badge like I am going to and have a slicker look anyway! You could have the ultimate SLEEPER!!!!!

I wanted to keep the hood badge and rear badge. I just wanted to debadge my CLK430 signs. I took them off and realized that when they repainted my car they must have blocked off the area where the letters were because it shows a raised edge on the paint. Sooooo, I would have to get the trunk repainted if I were to DeBadge right now (no money, so no De-Badge).
You had to do a full repaint right? 1k sounds pretty damn good for a complete hood and trunk debadge and repaint!!!
Oh and I was just trying to help HOLLYWOOD430 before he got himself into a losing battle on this forum over the AMG Badge LOL.

My CLK320 had AMG and after seeing the Poser Threads and arguments I do agree hence I immediately took off my AMG Badge. But that is just my honest opinion.

What's up e'rybody!
I just picked up my 01clk55 over the summer. Been searching the forums like, non-stop! I've learned alot, so thanks...
Done:
Lighting-
8000k xenons (maybe 10k look nicer?)
LED city lights
xenon look high beams (no difference- need better bulbs)
clear side markers with stealth bulbs
clear side mirror/turn signal bulbs (thinking about led though)
3500k fogs (dig the yellow, can't help it)
Headlamp restoration- no more foggy plastic
Engine-
Green Filters
New MAF
Exhaust- Rez delete
Other- tint done already, L-plate frames, new mats
TO DO A$AP:
Drop the car fast! Going with H&R, new bilstein sports, #1's all around- getting this done in October...
High flow 2nd cats- maybe Oct (plan= steal wife's money)
tune-up
bushings
motor/tranny mounts (have 67k on the car)
Wheels- I just can't decide, if AMG=18's, anything else= 19's
Gonna wait till the right set comes along... def want 235/265...
Wish List:
Headers
K40- Calibre
I figure it's all a good start!!
