2007 CLS550, Wald Kit, Radenergie wheels
Here are some pics of my CLS. I took a couple of months to get it setup the way I want, and still have brakes and exhaust on my list. Maybe do a light window tint as well. CarLab in Santa Clara did all the work, their prices are competitive and the work gets done right.

Thanks for the positive comments. I'm pretty happy with the way it has come out. I was a little concerned about the bodywork because I like things to look as if it could have come from the factory and was originally planning on going with Brabus bodywork. CarLab had an outstanding deal on the Wald kit and when I saw it on another CLS I thought the more aggressive stance could work. It does IMO.
The other thing I have learned with this car is that the color, pewter, is really eye catching but requires extra thought when picking accessories. Chrome wheels, or anything highly polished, doesn't look right IMO while black is unbalanced on the car are a primary accessory color. The Rad wheels with the polished lips and the diamond cut centers look great. I was considering color matching the center to the car color but am increasingly thinking that might not be such a good idea.
The black insert on the spoiler does look good and that has me thinking that maybe a matte black treatment on the grill, chrome trim around the windows and the chrome trim on the rear deck could be a winner, especially if I go with a darker window tint. When I put the big brake kit on I would also matte black the calipers, which against the bronze tinted rotors would definitely look good.
First I want to get the exhaust done because a few extra hp would be nice and a little more rumble would make me smile.

Nice setup I was thinking of the same kit. I have a white one so mine is easier to match with other mods. Your future mods sounds nice post pics when you're done with it.
