Hmmm...now that I think about it more, the C55 hood might be different in lenght/width then the Clk hood because the over all C55 chassis is still based on the 4 doors c32, c320, C230...etc.

 

hood looks pretty sweet

 

the hood looks nice but youd need an aggressive car to pull it off.

i could see it on a black series tho. haha

 

When I checked the EPC it lists the part # for the C55 hood starting with a "203". When I searched using that number, only the C55 came out. That hood is only used on that model. The W209 hoods start with a "209". All W209s share the same hood, even the BS. Just not the same as the C55. It might share a front end, but not a hood. I will post the part #s later when I get to work.



Side Note: I think the hood would look great with either the louvers or the vents. The fact that it has both makes it feel a little too busy.

 

I would like the hood without the vents. The louvers sure do look nice.

I dont know how i would feel about a CF hood though. even if you got a CF theme going on IMO its too much.

 

Here are some great pics of Dad's C63. He has tons of CF including hood, trunk, and a roof actually made out of CF.

 

Man his car is ridiculously hot.

I dislike that color to death but the way he has it makes me love it.

Thats how they should make the hood looks aggressive as hell

 

That's what I mean. If the original hood that was posted had just the louvers, it would look so much better. Dad's car shows that you could make the CF trunk/hood work.

 

I always am lol

 

dyno.. this c63 is HOOT
the CF really flows with the color ...
although not feeling the exhaust tips

 

I agree.... the C63 is badass!!

Man, you guys suuuuure love your carbon, eh!



Pass my compliments onto your dad for me!

 

I think you'd have to have a fairly riced up CLK for that hood to work. If the massive vents were toned down and made more like the SL65 AMG Black Series it would be a huge step in the right direction IMO. We don't have an aggressive looking car, the lines are soft, this hood on our cars would look out of place.
