I would also suggest you send Steve and email and see if he can aquire the necessary parts first. he does have some inner contacts that may be able to help. As for superchargers, search the forums and you will see HPS is not the way to go. I suggest you go with Kleemann

As for Jlee, you did not inspect the steering wheel yourself. How do you know it is an imitation? You just assume he bought it from ebay because he did not pay as much as you? Maybe you got ripped off. Steve does not sell junk and there is no problem with people asking Steve if he can get the necessary parts. Why do you just assume he cannot get them? ...... and no one cares how much you paid for your CLS IWC! Reading the tone of your messages does not want anyone on this forum to like you.

Goodness.... Well, if anyone knows of a definitive source for the CLK DTM parts, please let me know how much they cost. Also, does anyone have a good source for superchargers? And, does anyone in the NJ/NY/CT/PA area know of a good shop who does clean blower installs on Mercs?

You don't have to talk about my IWC whatever. I can write what I want to and you don't have a damn right to dictate what I write. My IWC and its price is none of your business so just skip if you don't want to see it.

All I said was that what he post is not an authentic AMG steering wheel. It is true so get over it. yeah yeah yeah as soon as I started talking about the ebay steering wheel shop misteriously posted an authentic picture of AMG steering wheel within 10 mins of discussion in this thread.

What a coincidence! I smell somthing here. but the person has to do a better job photoshopping the image cause I can totally see the image of paddles added on the steering wheel. The person did a good cut and paste job but it is so obvious.

Maybe I was ripped off by AMG but at least I got the parts and that's all I care. Believe what you want. Don't need to argue over this anymore.

I added 3 photos. First photo is the steering wheel that was just photoshopped by the ebay store seller which had the short black paddles like the second and third picture originally before photoshopping. Enjoy.

For real? Let's assume for a moment you can obtain the necessary parts.

Not including performance mods, it would likely cost you over $100,000 for real Performance Studio parts.

Body Kit - $25,000-$35,000 (probably a low estimate)
Wheels/Tires - $12,000-$15,000 (if you wanted the real ones with part numbers stamped on them)
Rear Wing - $5,000-$7,500
Interior carbon fiber trim - $18,000-$25,000
Seats - $6,000-$8,000
Instrumentation - $15,000
Steering Wheel - $4,000
Console - $11,000

After spending all that, you would have a neutered CLK55....without any performance improvement.

Let's add engine - $55,000
Tranny - $12,000
Suspension $16,000
Exhaust - $11,000
Brakes - $23,000

Now, after all that it probably still wouldn't operate cause you'd need the proper ECU and tranny control modules....say another $10,000.

Keep in mind, the above prices do not include labor.

And to think I was paranoid about spending too much on my rims!...Wow This makes what I paid for my rims (even though they make the real DTM rims) look like a bargain price.

To be clear....all my prices are guesses.

Jlee, since I'm not a member of the other forum, would you mind posting your pics here? Or pm me or something, I just wanna see them! I'm not hatin' or anything.

Also do you have the "special" IWC Ingenieur watch? How is it different than the regular ones?

Sorry for OT...I don't believe that AMG would let go of the DTM parts very easily...if at all. Try going aftermarket. There's a jap company that makes widebody kits for the 209 I think./
