Either the Hood of that car is very clean and glossy, or is that a different hood. There seem too be custom air vents on that hood. Maybe im just seeing things or its a reflection, but it looks as if that hood has dual air vents If so, wow, It looks NICE

Thumbs up There are defintely two hood vents...

And that car is seriously awesome. Looks really tough in black. I'd consider the starless grill if my car was black, otherwise, I don't think I would. I love Brabus, but it's a real shame that they are soooo expensive, and imho, you don't really have a "Brabus car" unless you have their motor work done. I have Brabus wheels, but more than likely my car will be a "mutt" with Renntech motor work in the future, and who knows what other mods...


Best regards,
Matt

Very nice. Anyone know how i can get that hood. I read an article, and it mentioned that the CLK K8's vented hood and CF add on splitter is a custom thing for that car, and is not for sale. Aslo, I was told that Brabus may be coming out with a new bumper, K8 bumper this coming april. Could anyone confirm. Thanks

Harris told me the same thing, and i mentioned it few posts up. I would take Harris's word for it. As for the new bumper, i can call brabus and find out today.

Good Deal AMG Bred. Well I know this good body store here in Los Angeles and they do a really good job in custom work. I will ask them if this is hard to make, and where and how i Can get that Add on CF splitter. I just cant stop looking at those pictures. The hood and the CF splitter makes the car so much aggressive.

Ok, well, yesterday I paid a visit to my body shop and showed him the pictures. He says that the CF splitter on that car seems to be thicker than other CF splitter and has more curves on it. It seems like they had a figerglass mold and then converted the add on into CF. If you can tell on the picture, it looks as if the splitter curves horizontally and vertically on all angles which makes it hard to duplicate. He says that it is possible, but for the areas where the splitter curves downward which makes it look thick will be bondoed and molded and painted black. I think i will try to see if this is possible. He will be making a computer photoshop of how it will look on my car. I hope all goes well.

I finally got a moment to photoshop your car with the black brabus grill; not that it's a good photoshop job but anyway...

thank you frisco, i think that would look good on my car and i would retain the silver star on the grille so it would break up the complete black out look.
