2003 Mercedes Benz CLK 500
New CLK 500 owner needs ideas

Hello,

I just purchased a 2003 CLK 500 and was wanting to get some ideas on some mods. I was wondering if there is any good websites that offer cosmetic and performance parts. My first priority will be to lower the car and put some new wheels. I also want to replace the wood interior ASAP for the brushed aluminum look. If you guys could please give me some advice I would appreciate it. Thank You.

+1, Looks good! Nice to see something other than a CF lip. It might just be the lighting but it looks like the lip doesn't match the car color

Thank you guys for you replies and ideas. Does anyone know where I can get the interior trim pieces in aluminum or carbon fiber finish? Thanks again for your help.

I think the painted side markers would go really good with you lip.
