http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=31853

taken straight from the description.

"Ground effects were $50,000. The 19" Davin spinners were $14,000. The custom interior work was $10,000 and I have put $7,000 in to the audio system so far."

That widebody kit is nice, get some LMs and that thing will look off the hook.

I sorta agree...

The color isn't my choice, but the most ghetto thing about it the wheels..and more of those stupid p7000's (the guy wants to put thousands into an audio system but scrimps on rubber..Doh!). Lost that silly grille, get some good wheels and it might look sharp. But not $45k sharp....

Don't care for this one; copper/orange/vommit paint, and Davin spinners are only supposed to be on like Escalades, cause even though they are a large rim for a clk, 19 Davins still look a bit tacky to me.

Im not digging the color nor the Wheels. Actually the custom bodywork and the widebody actually looks really nice. I think its the color of the car and the wheels that makes it kind of unattractive. I actually like the DTM widebody. The front custom bumper could of looked a bit better, but its still nice. What i want to see is his ICE. He said hes not done, but i want to see what he has done so far. Looks pretty crazy...

It's pretty distinctive and different, that's for sure.

The color is nasty and the wheels are worse. Nevertheless, the ground work looks like quality work. I'm not that crazy about the design, but at least it looks like it was made well. $50K seems like too much, but I'm not sure how much custom work like that usually costs.

50k for the kit is really expensive. I'm getting the 208 clk-dtm kit replicated for my car for 10k. Also in steel.

Saw that car at the Funk Flex car show last year... it is pretty ghetto, needs some deep wheels, but the sound system in that car is insane

OK, I am not un-decided any longer. This is the most hideous example of an automobile that I have ever seen. "Contains various equipment by Alpine, all professionally installed" REALLY??? WHERE??? Remind me to never go there!! A full size changer in the armrest and a sub in the passenger footwell.....Words cannot describe!!

to each his own when modding a car. but gosh, talk about bad taste. the whole integrity of the car is out the window. the Mercedes badge on top of the dashboard on the second to last pic is really the gutbuster of them all. this car is not a Mercedes at all!!! it's lost it's soul.

The widebody is nice. The color of the car, the interior, and the wheels are about the gayest thing I have ever seen.

If that car was mine, I'd paint it silver, but some wide I-forged, DPE, or HRE wheels on it, gut the interior, but race seats in, cage it, and drop a 2JZ-GTE engine with 6 speed getrag tranny.

That's just me though

I don't like it and I think it is insulting to put "spinners" on a MB.

I already have one.

I always loved the CLK body style, it's just that it never had anywhere close to the performance potential as the MK4. I am a die hard Japanese car fan, the only thing I ever like about other vehicles is the body styling and interiors.

its fake LV. or he bought a whole bunch of authentic bags and luggage and cut them up to do the interior and the trunk which i highly doubt that. None of the major designers sell their materials/fabrics by the yard or any other way.
