Car looks awesome. I thought the 2005 had different taillights (white in the middle instead of two stripes) and grill (three slats instead of four)?

I do not know much about forgestar, I'm assuming the wheels are forged. What is the weight of the wheels? I do like the style of them.

It is a fantastic car! Thanks SamBoler! As I got serious about purchasing a CLK, I was really surprised to find out there were only 247 Coupes for 2005. Too bad because these cars are very unique. Nothing else out there like'm.

Also, I was able to stop at AutoTalent on the way to pick up the car. Great guys over there. Wheels and suspension on this car are awesome.

I can't wait to see your next project!
