00' CLK 55 AMG
I love it.. Its stunning on the outside.. The interior is okay.. Definitely unique.
A few questions;
What colour white is your car and your cousins car? (Im going for a re-spray in white on my CLK55 but im unsure about the type of white)
What exhaust tips do you have on the CLK? 63 65? ,, Are they staggered?
is that a black and silver flat hood badge you have? or isit the stock MB one? it looks black in the pics.
Lastly, what are the specs for your wheels? are they 18's or 19's?

Exterior looks amazing even though I'm not a fan of the Carlsson kit.
Interior is unique as someone said -- if you did it up in merlot, espresso or chestnut that would have been heavenly.

The Audi looks awesome. I don't personally like the wheel flares on the CLK and I think it looked better before the hood was painted, or just all white. Sorry, but I don't like the interior either, maybe I have to see it in person. To be fair, I don't really like the color red, and I think it's just too much to add a different color on the inside. Two-tone black/gray would have looked great. I guess it all comes down to what YOU like, and what YOU are happy with.
This guy at work has these stupid neon orange rims on his Acura and he thinks they are great. He also has a LOT of negative camber to fit those ugly rims up under his fenders because the car is slammed and the tires are stretched out on rims that are too big for them. Of course, he is Puerto-rican! He thinks it looks awesome and I think it looks like trash. He has poured tons of cash into it and I would not be caught dead driving that ugly lump of crap. It also handles awful and I will blow him away in my 430 with no mods at all.

It's all in good fun, he's still my boy even if he does have an ugly car LOL... You said you were from NY, so it doesn't really count, you picked up some good taste there. My family was German and my grandfather's name is Adolf, but that does't make me German or a ****, but it must make me recognize a cool German car!

Hey, we're in SoCal the birthplace of hotrodded custom cars. It's not for me personally but I think it looks bad***. 
Fits right in around here. I would definitely walk over and check it out at a car club meet. I'd be expecting to see a 2000 watt sound system with the cool flip out DVD screens too. One of my little fantasies as a part time musician is I have a pair of 425W JBL Eon 15's for stage work and I keep thinking I should just strap those in the back seat with the seat belts and somehow hook them up to the stereo. When I do a gig, and I just load them in the back I keep thinking about that....Naaa
One thing I really do like are those projector's. Exactly what brand are those, where'd you get them and how much?
