Lol, my brother asked me if I found drugs in the seats when it arrived and told me it looks like a drug-dealer-mobile.

Dude, I love this car. I got a chance to drive it (around the parking lot when Aamir wasn't looking :biggrin and it sounds like a beast, and looks the part too. The sickest CLK I've ever seen....besides the black series.

Reminds me of my sisters C63, which I'm driving since she's outta town. :smile:

I think the weight reduction goes a looong way, the clk is the the lightest Benz next to the SLK I believe. Weighs around 3600 lbs stock which is less than the newest m3, and I think I have about 200 lbs of more weight taken out of mine. I need to weigh and dyno it!

So I am thinking I will paint my calipers after seeing this:

Should I paint them gold like in the photos or brembo yellow to match my NSX calipers??

Want to solicit opinions on an idea I had- I may create a set of 19" Hamann PG3 wheels custom built for this car. They would be made from yet another set of 18" PG2's that I have sitting around. The 20s are a bit of a headache for daily driving and it gets old real quick, I think they look phenomenal but the benz guys all seem to favor the P40. The other advantage is that I will be able to utilize the full widebody potential of the car, meaning ridiculous lip sizes-- think 5" rear stepped lip easy.

What do you guys think of PG3 vs the P40?
