CLK pictures
Here are some pictures of Joe's (pisces777) car at the meet this past Sunday. It was nice meeting everyone there. Btw, his car sounds awesome with the Eisenmann!
Joe - Do you want me to email you the exhaust clip? It didn't turn out that great because it was too short. You be the judge. I can meet up with you if you want to get another clip.
The rest of the pictures are here

Looks fantastic!!
Very, very, nice, clean, and subtle. I really like the grill, and after seeing Joe's and Z1co's, I've been thinking about getting one. I believe Z1co's was custom made, was Joe's custom made as well? Brakes and wheels look incredible as well. Amazingly clean, to the point where I'm thinking that he had to take the wheels off to clean them that well. I'm normally not a real big fan of red calipers, solely because it contrasts too much with certain colors, but in this case they look great, and I have no doubt that they stop hard as well. Very, very nice car!! 
Best regards,
Matt

Thank you guys. Yes, the grill was custom-made. Darreck's shop did all the work.
I'm running on 18s now. Seriously considering 19s but the ride is already super stiff and the car is driven daily.
As for the brakes, they are unbelievable. I was racing another car on Sunday night on the 101 freeway. Took the car to 140mph on that downhill stretch accross from Calabasas Motorcars. I spotted a police car about 1/3 mile ahead and slammed on the brakes so hard. The amount of time it took to bring my speed down to 60mph was just sick! I wish all cars had performance brakes. Less accidents and less tickets.
Regards,
Joe

The grill actually gives the car a personality I think. It looks amazing in person. Its giving me ideas 
.
Zico - I didn't take pics of my car, but hopefully will get some soon. My wheels are sitting in my garage waiting for some rubber to come in.
Darrick - If I can get that project done, I will be so pleased. It'll make the car complete...kinda. Gotta see if it can be done.
.
Tommy where are the pics of your car?
Tommy, were are your pics....anyways, hope you get your project done...it would look of the hook TIGHT

After that I'd like to get the carbon splitter that's supposed to go with my Brabus K8 front bumper cover, and possibly a Lorinser roof spoiler. Ideally I'd like to get a set of C55 brakes and Kleeman headers, but I'll need to save for a bit before I can do that. Once again, the car looks awesome!!

I've been wanting to powder coat my wheels for a while. A dark titanium color maybe. Something similar to the SL65. I'm just afraid that it won't look as good. As for 19" wheels, it's on the table. Will have to seriously think about it.
I want headers as well. I'm saving up for that.
Hey, the K8 bumper is something else! If i had a 320, i would have replaced my bumper with a K8. The AMG one is fine for now.
The Lorinser roof spoiler is a must. I will install one soon.
