For a novice and starting to mod their clk...let me do a poll...
1. First mod done?
2. Favorite mod

TIA

 

1. Suspension and wheels. Definitely have to lower the car, but decide what setup you want.
2. Big Brakes/Quad exhaust

 

1) Wheels
2) Carbon Fiber front lip

 

1. Lower your ride first ( its a must) lol.
2. Front lip.

Andy

 

1. Lower the car
2. Front lip & rear diffuser (which twists your rubber arm to do the quad exhaust tips)

It's a totally different car with those two (or three) simple mods.

 

Orange to black side markers
Quad setup

 

1. suspension < always the most important to me.
2. wheels
3. resonator and/or exhaust
4. brakes

 

Give me a couple months and I'll get back to you lol

 

1) Tint... I usually do this the day after I buy a car

2) Get rid of the amber... clears or tinted markers for sure

3) Wheels... nothing personalizes your car more and is the 1st thing that really makes a difference in the way the car looks... too many cosmetic mods before wheels and the car looks weird IMO

4) Suspension... you just dropped serious coin on wheels, no need in looking like a 4X4 at this point

5)Performance mods Tune, sprint booster, exhaust etc.

If you have made it this far, you are officially a sick b@$t@rd like the rest of us so there is no turning back now... you will just start spending your hard earned cash on every little piece of Carbon or little tweek you can find. the mod bug is incurable

Turn back now!!!!

 

Wise words

 

HAHA true indeed once the mod thing starts getting on you will hung e-bay and forums every day to see if there is anything new you can do to it lol.

You guys ever go back and see how your car looked stock? lol

 

haha Funny you say that.

 

haha i see a guy who has a 320 just like yours Dyno every morning for coffee he doesn't even have the rims in that pic.
He wants to mod his car badly and i showed him a couple pic of your car. He is too scared to even attempt doing what you have done.
1 week later i see he had your car as a wallpaper on his lap top lmao.

Your car has a major make over man i love it

 

lol, thanks man. Those wheels are actually CLS reps I was using for the winter. They didn't come on the car.

 

Right i meant he still has the stock clk320 rims on it. Nothing is touched on the car and he still says i wish my car looked smth like mine or yours. Well how about you get to work lol

 

Ahh, that's only because he hasn't been bitten by the mod bug yet. Tell him to join the forum and he should catch it quick.

 

...will taking the mod plunge soooon...

and would like to change
1. suspension
2. spacers
3. paint brake calipers

---i have an 05 CLK 500 cab AMG sports package apperance

thanks for your responses...

 

First Mod: CLK Black Series Spoiler
Favorite Mod: Custom Radio install (because it sounds GREAT, easily expandable, I had to do my own research and installation)

Before my W209, I had a modded 1998 Mustang GT convertible and I had it exactly the way I wanted it (before some fool rear ended me and totaled it ). Now with the CLK, the mod bug got me big time! You've been warned rl1213

 

Have you decided where you will be getting your work done?

 

1) Eisenmann Race Exhaust
2) Front lip

 

I feel the very first necessities is changing all the bulbs (interior and exterior) after that's it's tint, after that it's definitely suspension (lowering) and wheels...that will set your car off and make it truly yours

As for my favorite I'm still waiting for the shop to receive my tires so I can have my wheels mounted but other than that my favorite has been tint probably...really can change the look of the car or the sprint booster...

Let us know what route you're going...

Believe the bug has got you too...



Angelo

 

Good point! I forgot about this one.

 

if u get your ECU tuned ...do u still need the sprint booster ? the question is for everyone here lolz.

Andy

 

I would say, YES! Just ask Klinh. He recently had Jeremy tune his car and ended up putting the sprintbooster back in.

 

aahh I remembered his thread now...gotcha. How's the installtion on that sprintbooster Wes ?
