And Coming up a First Gen Kleemann Super Charger with a 70mm Pulley

Mods look good, but that hood looks awful on a silver car...

yeah..... different strokes.... but i think we might be painting the roof black as well.... maybe that will make it look less awkward....

Looks great.

I agree with esh, hood looks weird. maybe tint the orange sidemarkers??? they stand out even more with the hood i think.

But I totally wish i could have done all those mods to my e55.

Just screams tuner boy to me. Why not paint the hood? You could always leave some cf showing on it and paint the majority of the hood your factory color.

I admit I'm new to the E55's, but what does the SL55 airbox do for you power wise? I don't like the way it makes the engine look, but that's beside the point.

there are some that say it flows more air... And there are some members that have proven its gains.... So i usually have a few lying around.... So why not...

How do you like that phantomgrip? It the was the funniest scene ever when I drifted the turbo e320 around my buddies 240sx at a little auto-x event. I love mine.

the owner of the car loves it.... He said that it was one of the best mods that we did on the car...

Where did you get the hood? And you were still able to find a first gen K s/c? Wow.

Yeah... its a funny story, we had to buy a whole car to get the S/C.... lol

The hood was direct from VIS....

Wtf? You bought the whole car just for that? lol Damn! That's crazy. Keep us posted on that.

Interesting on that hood. I inquired about a hood like that for our cars and was told they don't have any. But that might have changed since that inquiry was maybe a couple of years ago or so. I was looking for a silver one too but not available.

Yeah it was a CLK430 Cabrio from California.... Also has a Kleemann Exhaust and H&R's... We stripped it and the guy gave the car to his wife... Everyones happy! lol

I think i know who that car belongs to. Small world.

nice car! i think if you put a carbon fiber trunk it will match the hood.

Awesome job, great car!

I like it.
I'll have to stop by your shop one of these days.

Dyno?

The customer will prob have it done.... If he does. i'll post results...

Your customer has two great options. You can paint the top of the roof and trunk lid black or maybe a pattern around the hood edges, roof and top of trunk lid, or you can get Real Carbon Fiber on the roll and mount it over the roof and top of trunk clear it thick sand it down thin buff it out and everything looks carbon. I know a guy who did this to a motorcycle tank and fenders and they look great and of corse made of Carbon! Any good painter can do this.

How is the fit with the hood,are the lines straight?

update.... Phantom Grip out.....

Quaife went in today.....

What was the reason for switching?

it was slipping, spitting the axles out and dumping all the fluid.... All phantom does is reinforce the factory diff with springs and someother little stuff...

Where the quaife is much a better almost "drop-in" Complete replacement....

it was time, that diff was a orignal part of the car.....
