First Pics of My Car!
Just Finished the first wave of installs. Green Filters, Sports Grill, Evosport painted corners, H&R Springs, H&R Sway Bars front and rear, Bilstein HD shocks and struts, Stoptech SS Brake lines, Porterfield Brake pads, Brembo Corssed-drilled Rotors, NHT Black powder coated Calipers, #2 pads rear, MRR GT1 19x8.5F and 19X9.5R..![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
I have had it for a few days now and the ride is GREAT! Sometimes the ride is so smooth I forget I have such low profile tires (Until I hit a bump!
). Sorry if the pics are not great I had to take it with my BlackBerry. I have a few more mods coming up, let me know what you think so far.

Yea I was thinking the same thing. They snap it perfect but they look like they are a little too big..I'm going to purchase another set today and see how they fit.

It's a pretty sick ride, but I think it would look better with the AMG bodykit. I agree that the back is pretty bland. You should had left the CLK and just debadged the number. All you need now is hids and a tint.

Yup I agree bout the AMG body kit, but thats on the list for the upcoming mods. Actually I'm going to get the Brabus front with AMG sides and back. I have HID's in it already and planning on getting the projectors very soon. That will be my next phase the projectors and body kit. As far as the tints they are illegal in my area. I normally wouldn't care it's just that I had an 06 accord before this with tints and I would get pulled over constantly. I don't mind getting pulled it's just a hassle when it happens so often. The trunk and roof spoilers will be installed tomorrow so hopefully I will post some more updated pics soon..

Thanx and I agree about the back!! I have the trunk lip spoiler and the roof spoiler but have not installed them yet. I was going to get the car detailed first and have my guy put them on after. Yea I want to change the exhaust to a single dual w/ resonator delete..I'm waiting on the wood steering wheel and the 07 tail lights to get here to install those also..
Everything looks great and the bodykit is going to set it off..
Where did you get your 07 tails and did you get the smoked center ones or the clears? If you don't mind me asking, how much did you get them for?

niice car looks great, lol im waiting to install my roof and trunk spoiler as well, it seems like our cars will look very similar, just wondering for the 07 tailights is it a direct fit or retrofit?

THank You, Yea definitely putting a lot of money into but hopefully its worth it...I can't wait to get the body kit..The 07 tails are the clear ones and I'm getting them from RBrenton for $184 a piece.
Thanx and your from the west coast so it's ok we look similar..(Just good taste I guess
)..The tail lights should be a direct fit unless I"m mistaken..
I purchased the roof spoiler from Ebay Vendor (directcartoys) for $290 plus shipping....This is his link (http://search.ebay.com/search/search...fsoo%3D2&fgtp=)

I highly doubt its a direct fit on 03's. When I bought 06 tails they didn't work in my 03. It might be a different story between the 04-08 models.

I know that you have more mods comming, I will say that I like the way it looks right now. The wheels and suspension really sets your clk off. It is understated, but looks clean and "silky smooth"....

damn, thanks for the info man, i didn't know they changed stuff on the 04 ones compared to the 03 except make it a 7sp, was it not fitting in terms of like the plugs or were you not able to mount the tailights on the car even?

The housing for the updated tail lights were different so it wouldn't mount without modification to either the housing or the cars mounting surface. I think the tails fit cars 05 and up. I really wanted the tails on but there was no way for me to do it, I think I couldve taken it to an MB tech and they could've made it work for me, but didn't want to spend the extra money at the time. Hopefully it works for dynomite cuz it would set his car off in terms of a rear look.
