The new CLK55 engine builders signature block found on the plastic engine cover. That is crappy.

I wanna paint my engine cover red... you think that would be a good idea or no? Would the heat do anything to the paint? I always loved the whole "Brabus" theme. I wanted to go towards that route. Thanks!

I loved opening the hood people would just drool.
The car's HP was around 450 at the crank, 375 at the rear wheels. With NOS over 550hp. I dyno'd everything I did to that car. I had just about everything you could think. The car also had a 2400 watt stereo, Strobe lights, Halon Fire system, Sparco Racing seats, 5 point harness, NOS, the list goes on and on. I sold the car in June to buy the Porsche 996TT. That wasn't the best thing I've ever done.

The parts are a little pricey; the Fuel Rail Covers (Covers that say Corvette on them) were about $200.00 a piece. The Air Duct was around $400.00. The Airbox that is in front of the radiator and under the hood was a painted to look like carbon fiber (sorry forgot about that one was fake). The finder well covers around $300.00 for the pair. The battery cover and fuse box cover was about $200.00.
The Chrome pieces now those where expensive. About $1500.00 for what you see in the pic.
There are a lot more pieces available in Carbon Fiber and chrome. I had an estimate to have all the chrome part this one company offers put on, over $9,000.00 just in chrome goodies.
As for the Carbon Fiber pieces there are a few more available now.
