As I Bought it...

i cant complain. i got these thinking they were just CLK AMG wheels off of an AMG car that came in for export. traded up plus a handful of cash which was a bargain. until i mounted them and realized they were stamped both AMG and Carlsson on the back on the wheels. retailing for a buttload and got em cheap.

what the upper half of the rear spoiler... ? never saw this mod done
it's the tip of the spoiler if black vinyl?

looking forward to those pix

the lip spoiler i have will appear silver from the back of the car, but when you look at it from an overview the top of it will be black.
then the deck spoiler i have to order still, probably next week. and the vinyl for the roof and rear spoiler should be don next week also.

i ran my car last night.
kinda dissapointed.
i need a tune. this thing falls on its face on the top end.
soooo. performance mods are next.
first run:
13.855 @ 99.83 - .463 R/T and 2.183 60'
second run:
13.781 @ 99.55 - .635 R/T and 2.107 60'
times werent TERRIBLE. but with a solid ECU tune and some cooling and fuel upgrades i should get into the mid to high 12s running a trap closer to 110-115.
kinda dissapointed.

Sorry my friend but I had my CL 55 SC'ed and know alot of people with Kleemann SC that doing in the mid/high 12s 1/4 miles. My friend's C55 with Kleemann SC stages 8 and his best times of 12.5s and 115 mph !!! If you think just ECU upgrade...etc. without SC your engine will get you in the high 12s. Man, what ever you're smoking.......I sure like to try some of those stuffs.
