Thanks for the props guys.

Here are some updates. Front lip and diffuser installed. Fitment was pretty good on both of them. I am not entirely happy with the diffuser because it's not really that aggressive. I'll probably add some more CF to it and mod it a little...make it more in-line with the front lip.

Also, coming up next is a more aggressive spoiler...if I can find one haha.

looks good man. Need some close ups of that lip! lol

megacrazy

You mean this lip?

maverik259

interesting so the lip actually comes up over the front of the bumper...hmm

maverik259

you hsould black out the chrome ring around the fogs and the chrome trim! would looks ick witht he blacked out grilled and contrast nicely to the silver paint!

megacrazy

Huh the lip ends right below the bumper. I have the middle part blacked out though. Maybe that's why it looks that way.

Yeah I might black some stuff out. Next on the list is making some changes to the rear diffuser though.

What's next for you?

maverik259

hmm well I am probably gonna take a break on the mods for some time. The next step is to fix my rear suspension (driver side rear wheel is rubbing). Find out what is making this "wharp wharp wharp" noise from the rear that happens once I hit about 30mph...

HI, one of the most beautiful CLK I've seen! great work!

ZAYED,,

Looks awesome. That lip is super aggressive.

megacrazy

That it is. I've made some mods to the rear diffuser to balance it out a little. The car was too low in the front because of the lip and pretty mild in the back. This will change things a little . I'll take some pics as soon as the foot of snow is cleared from my driveway.


On a separate note...not that many spoiler choices out there for these cars. Sad.

AvocentAMG

I agree. The Vorsteiner spoiler is THE BEST choice though. If you can find one, grab it!

megacrazy

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Love the spoiler...but I dunno if I can bring myself to pay like 1k for it...when something like that is 200-300 tops for any other car out there.


I might have a custom one made...it'll probably be cheaper haha.

megacrazy

So here's the updated diffuser. The car is a little more balanced now...not 2 inches off the ground in the front and 3 feet off the ground in the back. I'll take some better pics once the snow is gone...6 months from now ha.

looks good man! cant wait for the close ups!

Hey Bro,

The snow looks refreshing but I know at time its colder than he!!.

It is top down and BBQ weather in Florida right now but in the summer be prepared for smoking hot sidewalk cooking contest heat. The Humid air in the 99.s will make the worst cooling fan blow steam.

The car is looking great, only wish to see some tire smoke from it one day, mine is coming along good slowly but surely.

Cheers, Gator

megacrazy

Haha you killing me with the closeups. Let me get a spoiler first and some decent weather...then I'll do some actual pics.


Thanks Gator. As far as tire smoke...best I can do is slush for now...got another foot coming in today. Still, I'd rather deal with the snow than the humid...shirt sticking to your back summers.

megacrazy

Black Series spoiler installed. I think I'm done with appearance mods...unless I get some random ideas later

maverik259

what suspension you running?

megacrazy

Just lowered on Eibachs. So far so good. What...not good enough? haha

jkiddd33

With stock struts? NO issues?

megacrazy

None at all. What would the issues be?

GatorMB

The stock suspension on most AMG is far more resilient than most aftermarket setups. The AMG suspension is tuned for the HP and Torque of the car. AMG suspension starts to wake up around 80 mph and the car starts to react.
The lip is catching my eye as Nascar splitters are dominant in aerodynamic trends.

megacrazy

Yeah I never got the stock shock bashing going on usually. I've been lowered on coilovers, springs/shocks and just springs and I think the stock shock/lowering springs combo is the best around if you want decent handling and comfort at the same time. Also, they don't blow in 5k miles like everyone suggests. On my other car I'm lowered about 2 inches on stock shocks and they've been fine for about 40k miles now.

maverik259

I would do that if I wasn't rubbing already with 19" on my driver side rear...
