Mars Red '05 CLK 320
Talking First Post: Pics of my '05 Mars Red CLK320

Hey Guys,

My first post and my first Mercedes-Benz.

More pics here (with my buddy's super sick Acura Legend):

www.surfrock.org/benzo

Unsorted, sorry!

I was wondering if there were any pics of a Red MB with the light blue tint that's on higher end MB's?

Also, is it possible to hook up a 12" sub to the stock sound system (and amp)?

The red is far too red for my liking. And the Honda - well just looks tacky next to a classy car. Why did you choose to buy brilliant red?

I don't know, I kinda like the Red.. very Ferrari Red looking.. I also like that color, especially on the CLK with a tan interior.. it's a great look.

But, as I said before, the Honda has to go..

Ferrari Red is Ferrari Red for that exact car... a Ferrari.

I dont mind red for a car at all, but you'd see this coming from miles away. It's just so bright.

But I agree - Honda - has to go!

lookin hot there in red! sexy color, looks great on the clk and the c sport sedans. waht dealership did you get it from, i would assume caliber motors in anaheim hills, being from anaheim. im just curious to know how different they are from FJ, or even MB of LN. My folks got my ride at FJ, got a good deal on it.

I wanted the tan interior with the wood steering wheel option. The only car that matched that description was the one I bought (it was the showroom car btw). While I wasn't looking specifically to buy a red car, I personally think it looks sweet as hell.

I also bought it at FJ MB in Newport. I got a *great* deal on it.


Anybody think putting the light blue tint on this red car would look tacky? I'm seriously considering it.

im not a big fan of the blue tint, especially on a red car. normal straight black tint would be pimp, but look into silver tint or reflective mirror tint. I think it looks really really nice on brighter cars, such as yours. look into it, not a whole lotta people have it but youd be surprised with how well it looks.

What a tacky, soy-sauce-burning, manufactured-from-recycled-Sapporo-cans, riced-out, HONDA.
That HONDA is a disgrace to this forum; it _must_ go.

k.h.
