Looks good to me! How is your CLK55 like after the S/C? I just test drive my soon to be CLK55 and I was very impressed already. I can't image the power gained with your car, it must be insane! Now my E55 seems tame compare to the CLK55.

Thanks John,
The nice thing about a Kleemann System it is just like they advertise "Comfort Power".
It’s a smooth power band, and it’s there when you want it.
It's not like a NOS system where it slams the engine with power.
It's nice even power increase, if you really want it keep the pedal down and it's there. It really only gets insane above 120mph. You better have a lot of clear road ahead because this car screams!

JamE55,
I used a brake paint kit with a brush.
And yes I have allot of time on my hands, that's what happens when you've been retired for 4+ years.

41 and 1/2!
LOL ,thought I'd through in the 1/2 part for fun. There are a lot of younger people on this board. No disrespect to the younger crowd. I find it amazing that they have such good taste and drive such expensive cars.
