Carbon fiber lip................anyone?
Thanks. This is THE best and most complete kit on the market.
With regards to the CLK spoiler question. To be honest, the W209 market in general has been fairly weak with regards to aftermarket demand. The development cost of making a new item needs to have enough return for it to make sense...especially when we're talking about a quality item. If there is enough demand (say 10+) then I think it may be worth considering. Would this be for Sport/AMG front bumper?

We need at least 10 people for Evosport to consider making it happen. Btw, this is for the Clk 550 and post-2006 CLK 500 Sport/AMG bumper only.

"Duraflex" AMG style kit? Are you talking about the trunk lip spoiler? I'm talking about the front carbon lip for the AMG front bumper.

I know what u mean. Not the trunk lip spoiler. I have a CLK320 and dont like the look of the bumpers. I've been considering gettin the AMG style kit from Extreme dimensions (bumper covers)
Link to Bumpers from ED
i was wondering if the front lip would work with the ED bumper

Hey, thanks for the link. It would fit but If I was you, I go for the post-2006 AMG bumper. It look alot better and much more aggressive.

Hey what about us CL guys? I would be willing to fork out the money for 2 spoilers to get close to the 10 total for production requirements!

Sorry but that would require a difference mold. Waited for about 2 years for Neal from Eurotek to made one for mine CL 55 but it never happen because there was no demand for the CL.

What about this...take a CF lip for an E55 or an S55 and cut it down the middle, do a little sanding and make splitters for either side of the front fascia. Would it work? I think the AMG fascias are all the same shape around the corners...the only difference is total width, CL's being the widest. Has anyone tried this?
I try that too from an C55 and it it not even close. Cut it in half and it still doesn't work because the line are totally off. To make it work, you pretty much glue it onto the side lip bumper and re-mold it. I even try it on my 2006 Clk 500 Cabriolet (before it cut in half) and it was not even close even though the C55 and pre-2005 Clk 500 front bumper are exactly the same. The post-2006 Clk 500 AMG cahnged a little bit. As you can see, I wanted it so bad that I try everything but failed !!!

IDK, but can't you use this lip? I haven't tried it, but it looks pretty similar to the 550.
