Talking New Clk55 Owner / Time To Modify!
WHAT'S UP BENZ LOVERS!

I JUST PICKED MY FIRST MB- A CLK55. PURCHASED DOWN IN ATLANTA THIS WEEKEND AND CRUISED BACK TO ST. LOUIS IN LESS THAN 7 HRS.

WHAT AN AWESOME RIDE. THIS IS SOME MACHINE.

I'VE GOT A FEW MODS IN SIGHT AND WILL BE ASKING FOR HELP THROUGHOUT THE END OF THE YEAR.

LET'S START WITH TRIM, ANYONE KNOW WHO MAKES A CHROME OR BRUSHED ALUMINUM KIT?

THANKS IN ADVANCE. EXITED TO BE AROUND!

Why not Silver Carbon Fiber trim by Kleemann?! Much better than chrome or brushed aluminum. www.kleemannusa.com

THANKS FOR THE SITES. I'LL KEEP THEM ALL IN MIND FOR LATER RESEARCH.

THAT CARBON FIBER LOOKS GREAT.

@JamE55 - IF YOU HAVE CARBON FIBER, ANY PICS OF YOUR
INTERIOR?

Quite a machine Timster!

How long have you been working on putting that beast together.

I'd imagine it's goint to take me several years on getting everything together.

About that voice activated system, does it only control the phone? Does anyone out there make voice controlled nav and radio systems?

I seen a post that you mentioned about putting together a CLK55 road trip.

Throw me a email when it happens, I'm in!
