Why is the CLK55 AMG engine bay so boring?
The one thing about the CLK55 AMG that leaves room for improvement is the Engine Bay. The shroud the covers the engine is very boring. Even the stock 430 looks better. You'd think they could of given it a little more personality. The aftermarket tuners do a better job. The Carbon Fiber Renntech cover looks very impressive. Kleemann does a nice job except it’s pink. Anybody seen engine bay dress up kits?

It dyno'd at 380HP, 382TQ at the rear wheels. That put it about 450 at the crank.
Top Speed 190 mph, 0-60 should have been in the high 11's. But I suck 1/4 mile runs.

I must be missing out on something. I usually don't open the hood when I am looking for something exciting. I must try it. Are there any other kinky things I can do with the car?

I personally like detailing my engine compartment. I call it "Cheap therapy"
LOL,

If you don't want it to look boring then you should get Kleemann!
