Thanks Mike.

Thanks mate! When I get the car home tonight I'm going to put the front CF lip on and get lots of pics this weekend - for sure I'll get some close ups of the lights for you and Wes.

You're right for the time being but I have more silver accents going in - if in the end it still doesn't blend, black CF it is.

Kevwood

Thank you.

looks great so far... I would love to see it when finished with the AMGwheels back on. I just love those wheels and how big they look with the spokes running to the edge and they really show off the brakes.

Kevwood

Thanks and yeah, the original AMG wheels do a great job of looking bigger than they are and they certainly show off the brakes. Maybe I'll try to find some plasti-dip spray and do a little custom painting to one and see how it looks.

Normally I do not like the blacked out headlights on some Benzs but you are definitely pulling it off better than I thought. Also the interior trim is coming out nice and can't wait to see it complete.

You must love the blackedout headlights

Looks absolutely stunning Kev !!!

sonnyhoang

wow looking good bro! btw for the guys who are intersted in the blacked out headlights, other than the heatgun, you can use your oven, bake it for like 5 mins and use two screwdrivers to pry em out. You can find alot of DIY if you google like honda diy black housing headlights, as thats where i learned to do my honda back in the day. Once you open, you can spray paint the chrome housing and use silicone to reseal the lights. I love how u placed all the items in that first pic.

Kevwood

Thanks man, I always appreciate you comments. Being truthful, blacked out headlights weren't in the original plan but after seeing them on a white SLR in the same shop I thought I'd try it. I'm really happy that I did, it seems to flow with the car's theme so well.

Thanks a lot mate, and yes, I think they worked out pretty well.

Thanks!

Kevwood

Gents, I have the car at home now, picked it up last night. All the exterior and interior vinyl work is now done. I installed the front lip today and now that it's on, I'm glad I decided to do the center section of the air dam in black - left white it would have been far too strange looking. Guys with silver and dark colored cars can pull it off without the black but I wouldn't have been able to do it on my white car.

Anyways, I'm going to try to get it in for the rear diffuser instal next week, then the full exhaust on the weeked. I have an appointment for a dyno run tomorrow before I do any power mods. Here are a few updated pics;

dr_npz

+100. Blackout lights, rims, and accents all go well together! How about some front lip pics....

Kevwood

Thanks for all your comments guys, I really do appreciate the time you guys take to have a look and comment. BUT, I have posted pics of the front lip, it's the second pic (close up of the front), I guess it really flows well, so well that it's not even noticed

I did want it to kinda look stock, guess I've sorta achieved that!

dynomite05

It looks amazing. I love how the headlights get out.

Kevwood

Thanks Wes. Coming from the '209 Mod King' that means a lot!

Black airdam, I'm loving it .

chrislis

you need to do the hood rain thing in black, it's essential. other than that, good work.

Clkboi

Your headlights look so good Kev i cant stop looking at them. I cant wait to get mine blacked out

Clkboi

+1 on that it will flow so good with the rest

Kevwood

Thanks guys.

Now, in regards to the hood center vent. I tossed around the idea of painting it black but decided not to because it is (IMO) and 'obvious mod'. I want to try to keep the look of the car away from that, I'd rather have someone look at it and say "what kind of CLK is that?" rather than "looked at that modded CLK."

I have no doubt it will look good, other guys have done it and it actually looks great but again, it's going a little against the theme I had in mind. I might change my mind (like I did with the headlights) later on but for now, she stays put

chrislis

your car doesn't look stock anymore give it up!

haha

Kevwood

I think you might be right dude. Next you're going to tell me to let go of my 80's music!!!

M-bENZ

Yup let it go that 80's music lol Jk
