Congratulations, nicely ordered and the white stitching with white setbacks seals the deal, very simple and nicely done.

Enjoy it in good health and Welcome to the forum.

Let me know if you put clearcoat on your car, what brand and if you have problems with it yellowing after a few months. The white cars are having issues with that. THanks.

Thanks alot guys.. I love it. Its simply amazing. It makes my cls 55 seem slow. i was messing with some bikes on alligator alley a couple of weeks ago and they seemed shocked that a porsche was keeping up with them. the fabspeed exhaust is awesome. the only problem is we are having probelms with the CEL right now. porsche is taking care of it though... they say a couple of weeks and ill have new ones. i want to do the cat baypass pipes so i can hear more of that turbo. anyways thanks again on the congrats.

ps. yea the inner fenders are yellowing. i think that it is because of the tire gloss? am i right? or is there any other guess?

i will post rims with the hres on monday. cant wait!

I am glad that you are liking it then, the CLS55 you know can be as fast or faster than the Turbo you've got with a 178mm pulley, ecu upgrade, cam shafts, 80mm tb, cf airbox, headers, primary cats delete, green filters and some inter coolers.

Anyways regarding the yellowing of the protective layering on the sides its a pretty common sight on white cars, it doesn't happen on black, silver or other colours if my memory serves me right.
