Anyone got anymore pics or details? Pretty neat, I think.

To the best of my knowledge there was never a factory BS Cab offered to the public. This is most likely a run of the mill CLK 63 Cab that has been converted. This is the third CLK BS Cab I have seen, VRP did the first conversion over a year ago, there is a thread somewhere in this sub-forum, there is also a mars red example rolling around Miami.

Of course, I wouldn't badge it as such but if I got the kit on a CLK for cosmetic reasons, it would make me a poser?

Now, if it were a regular CLK and not a BS that some MADE TO LOOK LIKE A BS - that would be posing. If it's already a BS (which the KKS seems to be) that someone just turned into a cab, then thats not posing at all....just a one off aftermarket conversion as far as I'm concerned. And this one seems to be well executed so I give it a

What does HOW you pay for a car have anything to do with being a poser ??

I have always been curious as to why standard CLKs(inc AMG) have only one twin tipped muffler on the left side of the car while the BS has the traditional quad pipes. Does something structural hinder the exhaust routing and how is it resolved with the BS?

Hughes, subsequent Clk55's actually had the quads. The initial ones didn't have them however. e.g. 208 and pre 2005 209's.
The car is a clk63 cab with bs body parts attached. see here and scroll down:

Here's one, I been wanting to get a SL Black Series kit on my car-- I'm absolutely in love with the Black Series SL aesthetics -- and debadge the SL, I would then be posing?
Even if the price of the SL Black came down, I don't like the fact the roof doesn't come down which is a biggie for me, so for me to have the bodykit plus the drop, I think it would be pretty cool. I don't consider it posing, but hey...I always thought posing involved sideways hanging exhaust and "E95 AMG" badges on one side and "V12 Bi-Turbo" on the other, not body kits.

WTF?
That's is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. So a CLK63 (cabrio) with a Black Series bodykit (no badges) is posing? That's kind of ridiculous, it's not like I'd be trying to fool anyone.

The car in question started life as a regular CLK63 Cab. You can clearly see from the pic below that it DOES have a BS badge on the rear; thus, making it a poser.
You can do whatever you want to you SL. But, IMO, posing is trying to make what you have look like something it's not. An SL BS bodykit would fall under that pretense. Do whatever you like....just don't be surprised when some people disagree.

sorry lz i do not agree either . someone has decided to make a bs conv no biggie . it has a badge , so what mate? its not the end of the world there is no bs conv anyway . it reeks more of customization to me a badge does not a poser make ( necessarily ) an attitude does.

POSER - defined as:
a person who habitually pretends to be something he is not
Someone who acts like a fake
who tries to fit in but with exaggeration
One who attempts to appear to others as something they are not
Not sure how much more cut and dry that can be.

I think this is a VERY cool car and appears to be very nicely done but; BS badges (or whatever badges) on a car that is not a BS (or whatever car that it's not) like/understand it or not = POSER!
I'd be embarrassed to be seen in it.......
