Probably the most 'naturaly' pleasing kit i've seen.! Most kits look like they were added, this however is like a factory fit option !
Hey do you know where you can get the new style Merc Led lights to replace my normal fogs ?

What's up WILL!!! Congrats on the CIO..now you're the BIG CHIEF in the office
. I feel you on the meetings though..after a while you start missing the daily grind of actually beings hands on with the network.
Anyway, the real reason I posted is to say..THAT FRONT BUMPER IS BAD ***!!
I like it better than mine. I need a new one after I get back in a year so this one might be the one. Let me know all the details if you buy it..how does it fit, quality, price?
Also, I am up for a PCS when I get back and JAPAN has been laid out as one of my options but my wife wants EUROPE again!!! We shall see what happens....

Which base or location in Japan are you looking at coming to? They tell everyone that they can not bring their cars and if you do it will cost thousands and thousands of dollars..This is not totally a true statement for cars that are already here but it is true for cars that are not here like many American Vehicles. I take "We Shall See" as you will try to convince your wife but ultimately it is her decision. lolNot sure if it comes with the mesh but that would be a cheap purchase so not too much worried about that.

In the front bumper, the original fog can be installed.

I was interested in that bumper also
I found it back in OCT on EBAY.DE and GCT. I have the Lorinser but was never completely happy with it. I am going to have the bottom splitter portion filled when I do get it. If i can remember I think it cost about 900 including shipping. I sent them a few emails and the most recent which was several months ago I asked if i could get a discount if i repped them at some car shows. They havent responded haha. I think its time to use the power of group buying because I am def getting the bumper I was saving my money because I just got laid off.

Yeah right now I wish I was working in Japan their economy isnt doing as bad
I am def down for a group buy discount but from my experience people always BS and back out. Oh yeah I finished my gauge awhile ago. I got silver carbon fiber and made my own bezel for it but it just didnt go with the polished steel gauges so I went with a black carbon fiber one I bought off ebay.

You hold'n out???Show me what you did? I still need to find someone to make a custom gauge for the far left&right smaller indicators. Hook me up if you know someone, USspeedo never responded back to my request.
Looking at your photos looks like you got sum Swagga yoself.
Thanks for all your info on the CATs
, you helped my decision to just stick with what I got.

wow a CB antenna too! 
If the front bumper was tastefully finished im thinking this would look great (dunno about the rest). Minus the double merc stars and add mesh.
Fitment looks ok. Nice to see something different.

I would personally just get an OEM AMG bumper if I were you. That's just me though. I considered that bumper as well, but couldn't come to terms with the fog light mounting area or the lower bottom half.
Plus it's fiberglass...just saying...

Im lovin the front
When I emailed them back in OCT i asked if they had any other pics and they didnt have any except the ones you first posted. If I had seen these then the bumper would be sitting in front of me right now. Its a good thing i already have a rear because that rear bumper is hideous.Oh yeah, I emailed a guy on Benzworld looking for an aftermarket front bumper and told him we were trying to put together a group buy.
Ask and ye shall receive here r some pics. I was going to change to all red needles for some contrast because I have blue neons everywhere and the blue backlightn from the leds but they just didnt go so I compensated and made my rpms red to simulate red line. You can make your own little covers for the indicators. I did for the silver carbon fiber but then opted to not go with the silver one. You just need to take your gauge apart then use the little side piece as a template and trace then cut it out of some white thin plastic.There are also two very small pin holes that you need to make on the top and bottom so the indicator covers can be held in place by little tabs. Thats how I made my silver bezel. Damn IT guys.
HAHA
Sorry if i thread jacked a little.

99CLK320,
rims
Wil, mind if I highjack your thread? 
The rims on the last pics look like a 2 piece Lorinzer replicas from Eurotech. http://vi.ebaydesc.com/ebaymotors/ws...heels&caz.html Has anyone out there purchased these or any rims from Eurotech and if so can you tell me what you think of the quality? TIA dlb.
P.S. Jimmy, JMHO. the AMG bodykit is balanced front to back just like the pic of falls profet's ride and yours. Even though the GCT back bumper is way too busy/hideous it does balance out the front. If they would just take some of the horizontal lines out it would be much better IMO. I think if you put only the front bumper on, your car will look nose heavy. Check out the side shot of the blue car again. See what I mean jellybean. Not a criticism of your taste, just a visual observation of mine. Follow your passion/Joseph Campbell.
P.S.P.S. Why didn't they paint the parts before the mounted them????
