I loved how brutal my CTT was on 23"'s with FVD (loud as f***) exhaust. Turning heads.

But I really enjoyed driving CLS and to be honest I appreciated the fact that it didn't pull that much attention (debadged AMG).
Thanks...

If you are going for the full makeover, something like this is what we suggest ...

How much would a kit like this cost? I think it's perfect.

Congratulations!, I'm looking for a sporty 4 door something and the CLS AMG was on top of my list, I love the lines of the car however I've been told that the electronics especially the 7 speed gear box and the air suspensions are a very common problem with those cars, any true to that?

hah. Thanks guys.

@D2 - Thats a pretty hot CLS. I'd do some things differently.


My rims came in, obviously... had them on for a month but I'm not sure I like the look.

Anyways, I also had the chrome from the headlights redone in matte black. Makes the frontend look a lot cleaner. I need to redo the grill but I can't without having a solution for the bottom grill as well. Hmm.

Updated pics (From tonight, actually)!

@xeno let's talk some wheels! Seems you are not satisfied with what you have now, so why not go with D2's then? We definitely know our thing when it comes to CLS fitment!

haha. Perhaps. It'll be a while before I change them out. My company just picked up a GTR (2013 black edition in white! heck yeah.), so thats gettin some love at the moment. I do love me some D2s, though.

Good luck with the radio. I don't know of any adapters for the steering wheel. Usually you loose those functions. I have an S550 and I use the Blue tooth for the phone and I purchased a separate MP3 (Ipod) for the glove compartment.

Nah, its pretty much the same. I added a carbon fiber lip and kept the rims on it.

Also, in those pics the suspension hadn't lowered yet, I have the renntech module.
