Looks great! Where did you get the wrap done? Getting a blk cls soon and want to black out the chrome around the windows and maybe the strip in the back.

Nice job done so far on the CLS ! Do you plan any brake upgrade? Noticed the ones you have are still standard.

i have 2 good vinyl wrap places to send you if you are located in the tri-state area

jett2jett

my cls is a lease , i do not plan on playing with the brakes.

recently purchased some new wheels/tires for winter after i cracked my niche apex.

inovit revolve
20x8.5 20x10

probably going to powder coat gloss black when i do my brake calipers

thoughts/comments?

jett2jett

Top picture is the niche apex in matte black

Do the markers still work after being painted?

jett2jett

i painted them white to match the car & they still work perfectly. Instead of painting them black, they have been vinyl wrapped. Incase I ever get tired of the black i can switch back to white by peeling off the film

bigigg

looks good. Im surprised you didn't go with the black/machined Inovit wheels to mach the black mods.

jett2jett

in retrospect i probably should have opted for that color.
In my opinion , When i ordered the wheels they looked cheaper in the machine/black

to each is own

Last 2 pics are of the AMG reps I tore to shreds driving in manhattan .I took some better quality pictures today of the inovit wheels. I may go with something else until summer, I am open to sell the wheel/tire package to anybody interested.

bigigg

mind sharing the wheel/tire specs?

After tearing up 3 sets of Hankook v12's this year I've decided to switch over to Nankang with a bigger profile until summer. IMHO they are just as good if not better than the hankook for a little bit less money. Same exact manufacturer warranty.

$1,700 takes the set. I ordered new wheels and they should be here in a week. Will entertain any reasonable offers/trades. Lugs & locks included

bigigg

would u know the offsets? Funny I had Nankangs on my E class and had no problems. And my new wheels for my CLS have the Hankooks.
I just noticed you spoiler, I like the way its painted

jett2jett

I dont know the offsets off-hand. I believe 35+ all around. I will update tomorrow.


Thanks, the spoiler is actually wrapped 3M vinyl
I wanted to order those CF mirror covers off ebay for about 125. Thoughts?

bigigg

Im not crazy about CF.. honestly I think you would have to complete the look, like spoiler,lip,grille,mirror cover. Cant just have 1 thing, but I think CF on a white car would look good.

juliana21

Hell Yeah!!! but I'm not sure about the stick on ones.
Why not just wrap it in CF vinyl to match the trunk spoiler, which I think would look way
better than the stick on CF covers. I got my oem covers wrapped in real CF by Carbon Fiber Element to match the front grill & trunk spoiler.

jett2jett

I went with 3m gloss black opposed to the CF. Your car looks good i like your wheels

juliana21

Nice!! thank you

jett2jett

I was wondering if anybody purchased the clear side-markers on ebay from seller fishcake.
I have purchased from him in the past on my sclass but i would like to see how the european style looks on the cls. New wheels and a few upgrades on the way

Pictures to follow....

jett2jett

Or this LED side-marker i found on amazon.

That looks like Al Hubcaps in Mineola, Long Island?

jett3jett

Haha yes! Ive been going there for years
Hes a bit crazy but he does great work & usually very quick turnaround time

robnyc

First time I went in 2011 to get my wheels powder-coated , 18"s
to Glossy Black .. he even fixed 2 small bend I had on the rim .. I chose him since no one else was offering same day turn around. Once I drove in, my Cadillac was the lesser car in there lol, there was a AMG parked next, Bentley, Maserati.

Hahah yes bit crazy, but good guy and great work, he's very straight forward!
