'03 CLK500
That looks dooooope! The back of the car is really growing on me, and looks awesome with the 4-tip exhaust.
How much would the tier-1 package run here in the states?

Looks good, however, I would have gone with lighter wheels. I originally had Brabus wheels (which weigh about the same or less than Carlsson wheels) and was not thrilled about the effect of the wight of those wheels. Switching to a lightweight BBS LM made a siginificant difference... the only reason I bring this up is that I am assuming by your plans to Kleemanize your car, that performance is a key issue for you.

Petepap, in the beginning, I was interested in Brabus kitsCarlsson is the one with 4 tip exhaust on W209
Keep the brand made me put more & more Carlsson stuff.
Both body kits are under ordering by local agents,Brabus kits maybe a little cheaper, I'm watching and keep asking both dealers.
Sorry for AMG, the other CLK500 here get AMG style option
but I plan "DIY" this time.
Sleestack, you're right ! it's said 1 : 4 the weight of a rim adds
to a car.
BBS is a much lighter rim than ordinary one, do you benchmark
the difference of performance before & after the lighter rims
put on your car ?
e.g Any data of sprint time comparison ?

That's not my plan at all, the manager in the shop demo the 10k
HID vs My CLK factory HID 4k....
Shxt ! The instant arcing are both 10k, then those 4,6,8k HID
decayed seconds later to its design lux.
(1) W209 Bi-HID, swap the bulb 4k -> 10k US$300 for two bulbs.
(2) Fog light,need install the whole assembly, US$760
Then check if any error message occur (resistence change)
None ! it's done !

20 mm spacer is too thick !
Just delievery the message, the spacer of my rear rimsometime "scratch" and it's a wrong thickness.
random occur in cornering.
15 mm should solve this issue.
