Thanks. Nope just plain old heat wrap on the tubes and a thicker heat shield type on the air box. I wish somebody made some carbon fiber tubes for our cars

i did 3inch polished inter-cooler tubing and inter cooler elbows. I cut the shroud a little and put some bigger scoops behind the grille. But i want better scoops, i may have a sheet metal guy make something, i seen a design i like on e55's

Yeah I was looking at the E55 scoops as well but it seems like a hassle for something that probably won't add any power. You have any pics of your setup?

2009 CLK 350 Grand Edition
Grand edition is just the final promotion added on to the last model year for CLK. But I do like the color combination - Palladium Silver paint with a Tobacco Brown leather interior with beige stitching and aluminum trim.

"For 2009, a limited number of "Grand Edition" CLK350 coupes and cabriolets will be available, which feature 18-inch AMG wheels and AMG styling elements". 500 coupe, and 500 convertible.

Well, in this case it sounds as a perfect color combination. Are they more expensive than regular?

Mine was a little higher than comparable 2009 350s, but I attribute that to the great shape mine is in. Inside and out.

At least that's what I thought, before I notice the leak

Yes, I thought I was low-balling at $100.
I'd just wait until he relists the item and give it a shot!

It's an original DVD, that works fine. But it didn't come in the original cover. In case anybody is worried about that kinda stuff.
