2012 CLS
New Member - CLS550 - Michigan

Hey guys, been lurking for awhile, but figured I'd introduce myself and my CLS. I'm about an hour north of Detroit. Bought the car about a year and a half ago. The only downside is that I live in the snowbelt...so it spends more time in the garage than I would like.

2012 CLS550
Debadged
Rohanna RC10 Wheels
Tinted tailights
Painted calipers
Weistec tune (boy that was an adventure)
Weistec high flow airfilters
RennTech Lowering Module
RW Carbon Rear Spoiler / Front Splitter / Rear Diffuse / Mirror Covers

Coming very very soon:
MBH Downtubes and resonator delete
Water/Meth injection (still deciding how to go...)
Paint/Wrap chrome trim

Down the road potentially (read...$$$$)
turbo and IC upgrades
???????

All work has been done by myself and my local shop - Motorwerks here in Detroit.

Welcome to MBWorld. Sounds like great progress so far and great plan coming up. Have you thrown her on a dyno yet? Wonder what numbers you're putting down at wheel.

Let us know if upgrading the lighting is on your planned mod list. We can get rid of those ugly yellowish lights for new modern white LED/HIDs.

Hello

Good looking ride! Motorwerks are a good group of guys. I feel your pain staring at the beast in the garage, waiting for spring.

Thanks brother! Yeah Satish, Rusty, Deebo and Aaron have really helped me out and take good care of the car. I'm really hoping to get the exhaust, water/meth injection and paint/vinyl done before spring.

Do you ever go to M1 for cars and coffee?

I haven't been to M1, but heard a lot of good things. I used to hit up pasteiner's once in a while if I had a free Saturday.
