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

 

does it fit the old clk55. If so Iwant to buy it

 

would W208 amg engine cover fit a CLK430 engine? just curious

 

It's a heck of allot nicer than mine (2002 CLK55 AMG):

 

I Would Be Interested In The Cover Also

 

yes, the hooks are in the same place, the AMG cover is two pieces with the airbox, and you would have to trim it a bit because the oil filter (i think its the oil filter, forgive me its the oil something or other) is in a different place, but yes, ive been told it can be installed on a 430 pretty easily.

 

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!

 

For the best results use Dupont Plastic paint prep, than some high temp paint and you shouldn't have a problem. Here's a pic of my old Vette's engine:

 

are those real carbon fiber components or is a carbon fiber sheet? My god, the detail in that engine, looks awesome!!! Do you still have the Vette? How much HP does or did it push? Thanks!

Everything was real carbon fiber. I had a bunch of it in the engine bay and inside the car. And a little chrome to brighten things up a bet.
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.

timmy, the CF work on ur vette engine... were they custom or what?! how much?!

 

Everything is available off the shelve.
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.
