Where did you hear that? I've never heard anyone with rattling problems when they lowered their slk's.

It a r170 short stubby antenna, not the SL, the SL one is alot shorter and is plastic, mine is rubber. I got mine at my dealer (glausermb) for $55 bucks.

I don't want to lower the rear w/o lowering the front. The rear already looks lower than the front, it's going to look really funny if I lower the rear anymore.

Your SLK looks awesome with those wheels & tires. It's amazing what a nice set of wheels & tires does for the look of a car. The tint really adds a nice touch as well.

yeah, I agree, I liked it to be another 1/2" lower front and rear. Here's another pic.

Like graphite? I thought about those too but I decided on the brushed alum at the last minute. I doubt if I'll regret either choice.

as in order the option on your 08 clk? or do you already have the car and are thinking about buying the bumper parts? because someone in the classifieds section is selling the bumpers for dirt cheap.

Ynot, I thought you have a 6 speed manual? Why do I see an auto in one of your photos of your car's interior

Thanks, do it, the body kit is not going to affect warranty in anyway, there's someone selling it for a good price, it's normally close to 4grand, he's selling it for a little over 1K, that's a bargain. Glad you still like the C230.

I always park in gear, so used to it, sometimes I forget to pull the hand brake.
