Sorry for the delay... I can't name the shop because he's not a vendor but I had the carbon fiber side skirt extensions fabricated for my 6 series and CLS after seeing the enlas EGT6 versions for the M6 and grand coupe. I'm sure my guy would be willing to make both versions (straight rectangular and rounded) if enough ppl were interested in purchasing.

Understandable, I think it's one of those things that you need to see in person to appreciate. The carbon fiber trim and accessories doesn't show up very well in these photo's as well.

Brook, I like the red MB star, not my type but looks cool! We really need more pics of these cars on this forum. I couldn't find much when trying to get rid of the wifey's C400 daily.

E350 Coupe
I just got mine a couple weeks ago... took it from the Dealer straight to the shop... got a set of staggered concave XO luxury wheels put on... Smoked the Tail lights and side markers... Tinted it... Had a Blinder HP905 Laser Jammer system installed and The Nav Tv Video in Motion module installed so i can watch movies and use navigation while in motion...

OMG Yes they are. And no offensive to the owner, maybe it's a generational taste thing for me.

Thanks for the info... I figured it was from RW, no shade but I've heard that the fitment isn't always great with RW. I may have a custom CF lip and diffuser made.

I've come across a few CLS63's with forgiotos... Not my particular taste but this new generation loves them. The wheels are to "busy" for me and take away from the flow of the car.

Nice!! I really like the new front bumpers and grills, I wanted to change mine to the CLS63 AMG S but MB said the whole front end would need to be modified. Any other plans for yours besides tints?

I ordered a diffuser and a new spoiler. It will be on my car by September as I'm out of the country. The fitment for the front lip wasn't 100% as there is a gap on one side. If you have a guy who can custom make parts, I'd be interested in side skirts.
