Nice pickup. If it's 90 outside and the car has been sitting outside for a day, you're good to go on the windows.

Whatever we're tuning!
What a BEAUTIFUL car!!!

Congrats Tom on your new ride and thanks for letting me "test out" the throttle blipping!

Tom has assured me that his new CLS is going to be a constant evolving tuning program-performance and appearance-wise!

5 minutes after he picks up the car he wants to do a filter swap, carbon filter delete and while I took care of that I also did a little air intake mod(something that I do on all 55's that I tune) on the QT and Tom knows nothing about it.

Maybe that is why it feels like a true RAM AIR!!

The only issue was the exhaust was crooked so I had to loosen mounts and clamps to realign......weird. Looks sweet now though.

BB .. Thanks again ! ... I'm sure your plan will get her running just right. Guess I'm a little desensitized after several years of 400 & 500 HP cars and my obvious need for speed.

So when are you hosting another open house ?

Enjoy.

It would look even better if you changed out the amber colored side marker lights for clears ones.

I was happily surprised that the stock wheels looked so good in person.

I was there yesterday firming up my initial plans. Starting with the performance options and later on the cosmetic stuff. Takes time to do the research and yet try not to be influenced by what others have already done.

A little custom work, avoid the "me too" stuff, and hopefully the outcome is understated yet brillant daily driver.

One of the reasons I picked up another CLS is I dont see many around and living in the middle of the largest population center in America thats saying alot.

Metro NY 19,000,000 (33% larger than LA)
LA 12,800,000
