I don't know if I like it. I can say for sure that the mesh NEEDS to be painted or powdercoated black. That silver mesh is killing it

If you are allowed to remove your front license plate, it would look much better!

That's not too bad, what kind of bumper is that? Your car is screaming for some wheels.

What rear deck lid is that? Never seen it. And that front bumper. Oh yeah and I just notice in the later pix you posted there's no hood latch, how do you pop your hood?

Yeah the first pic is the decklid i was referring to. How much did you pay for something like that? I didnt even realize it had two legs attached to it. Just out or curiosity how much did it cost for the roof spoiler? Is it PolyUrethane or Fiberglass?Is it possible to obtain more of either?

With all work about 2500$
Roof spoiler cost 185$ unpainted.

It's definitely different, which in this case is a good thing. From the pictures it looks like your body shop did a good job in putting everything on too.

I applaud your efforts in trying to create a unique looking CLK. Overall I think it looks pretty good. The wheels definitely have to go. The only thing I didn't really like was the grill. It looks like it is missing a few bars or something.

That decklid spoiler is definitely something I am looking for, BUT w/o the extensions toward the rear glass. If they can re-custom that wing in the same style as it is, minus the 2 extensions... I think it would look pretty damn tight! A more aggressive Lorinser decklid spoiler. I would buy it :P
