'12 White CLS63 on ADV08s, preview pic from shoot.
Did the Freefall head/taillight treatment, and also tinted the front side markers. Removed resonater, painted roof rack strips, side mirror lowers, and entire door handles. Here's a preview, waiting for the rest of the pics.

I just got mine so I don't know all the visual mods yet, sorry for my ignorance 
Freefall, I saw your car in the pics thread and it is right up there at the top too IMO! I actually showed both of your cars to my wife last night as cars I thought were tastefully done. She agreed.
Don't know Car Leasing Inc. though.

Just playing around and Ajag is right. Everything we do is pretty much displayed and talked about here. When I get around to it I am going to post all of my visual mods with pics.
And if you want to see a great looking black CLS check out Vics...

ADV08s just finished engineering, going to be machined and tested, I can't wait! See excerpt from Jordan@ADVs email below as well as CAD pics.
"ok so as mentioned, the ADV08 Track Spec SL version looks quite a bit different when we reduce maximum material for the ultimate weight reduction. Right now, in this state which is now using titanium through bolts with the reduced material assembly flange, a split 8 spoke design for weight savings / material reduction and the pocket cut pads / SL spoke aesthetics we're down to:
F: 21.28 lbs, no hardware
R: 22.73 lbs, no hardware
Pretty amazing!!!! Now, keep in mind this WILL require testing before we can produce the entire set. We do this in house luckily so it's a quick process however will obviously take longer than a normal set as a result of having to first machine the test centers, destroy them in radial fatigue testing, analyze the data and proceed to revise the engineering and machine the final set. All in all I would say 2-3 weeks before machining the final set, then another 2 weeks or so to complete them once machined.
If this is ok, and you like the way it looks – give me the green light and we'll get moving!!!"
