Great mods man whoa, just what i am looking to do.
I have been pushing the quads for almost a month now. Once there is a ticket than college tuition than family borrows money but this time i made my mind.
If you dont mind OP i have 2 questions for you.
1. Link to the seller for the LED tails please?
2. How much did the Borla cost you? And is it a similar sound of the WV R32?
Thanks and congrats on the mods

I bought the LED taillights from the seller on ebay and it's definitely an upgrade over my old taillights. Although the listing said they were for 2003 - 2007, clearly they're for 2006 - 2009 CLKs (with the facelifted taillights).
There is plenty of threads detailing the install of the facelifted taillights on pre-facelifted cars, so I won't get into that; but I did have to buy the bulb brackets because the old bulb brackets didn't fit.
Another problem I encountered was the stop lamp did not work right away (error message; plus the lights would blink). This was fixed by adding a 25W 5.7ohm resistor to the stop lamp socket (I believe this problem will also affect facelifted CLKs).
Now the pics!

Do you by any chance have the sellers username? Also, do these LED's match the OEM 3rd brake light or did you purchase a new set of 3rd brake lights?
Lastly, will the seller be including all the parts that you ended up buying in his new auctions?
PS some more daytime pix would be much appreciated!

What's going on gentleman, I have to make this quick! I was going to create the exhaust thread this weekend, but a family emergency came up. Hopefully I will be able to create the thread and answer your questions when I get back to town.
Thank you for your patience.

Thanks FatTony, mad props for your diffuser install DYI, it helped alot!
Hi All, the ebay seller was able to resolve all my problems promptly, so I can endorse his ebay store here:
http://stores.ebay.com/fishcake321
I'm not sure if he will provide the resistors needed, so you might have to email him to get more details.

Looks like the seller doesn't have anymore and he has a waiting list.

Damn, I've been MIA for too long... everyone's car is lookin' way sick! I got to get back in the game.
@2MCHAR those mods are a serious upgrade! Did your tips come with the y-connector or did you take them to a local shop to get them setup? I've had my quad-tips in my closet for months!!
@Wes DAYAMN BRO! You're inspiring me to start blowing my money on my 320 again LOL!

"I've been everywhere and back, but I just can't remember it all... what am I doin'?"
Damn... IDK... too many hobbies?? Spent most of my extra money on some DJ equipment, concerts and partying... What's important now is that I'm back and ready to be broke! Got to find the rest of my AMG kit (might have to pick up your spoiler), VIS diffuser, get these damn LED tails, and thinking about upgrading my Kenwood. That should clean me out till X-mas.
