SPEEDHUNTERS CLK BS Feature

I was fortunate to have Speedhunters do a small feature on my CLK63 BS build up. Enjoy

I was really impressed by the Varis wing. I heard about it and thought it would look terrible but Varis makes good stuff and it fit in on this car because its so aggressive. Love the diffuser too.

Thanks Rob! I fell in love with the Varis wing the moment I saw it. I considered several different options but after measuring the trunk on my buddy's M3 and doing some awful photo shop shop attempts I decided to take the risk and go for it. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

Amazing build from beginning to end. Parts used are top notch themselves. If you don't mind me asking did you get sponsorship pricing on all of the parts that were used? How much did the mods Aline cost you excluding the car? You can PM me if you like.

I've had the opportunity to be pretty heavily involved in several aspects of the automotive aftermarket for over a decade now and have been fortunate enough to make some good connections on some of my past projects that I was able to carry forward to this one, too. I secured some pretty good deals on some things and paid retail for some as well!

As far as the total amount spent... I'm afraid to add it all up... mostly because I'm not exactly done with the build just yet I will always however, happily pay for quality work on the car

Beautiful example of a Black Series. Very nicely done.
Very cool color as well. Which color is that exactly?
