I looked at this car today. Cosmetically, it's a 9 out of 10. The car only looks like it's 6 months old. I'm keeping an eye on this one.

I went and looked at the first one....it's mentioned in an earlier thread. I passed on it at $2995 and the seller raised the price to $4500. No thanks.

Didn't really have much interest in the other two. I do appreciate your contribution.

This way I had an inlet outlet tube on the same side like the existing muffler, but then have another pipe on the opposite end for the dual pipe look. I like it, and it sounds great. I had the shop bend some pipe and cut it to look like factor tips and I had them tuck it up as tight as possible for a stock/discrete look.

Any pics to share?

Anybody have this Remus muffler?

I posted pics before, I'll try to find a link. Imagine that muffler w/out those god-awful tips. Those tips really stick out when it is installed on the car.

myfirstbenz · 07-17-2007, 04:39 PM

Here is a link, if the muffler is hard to see, that is the point

And I thought someone left me an "I hit you" note
Post #10 is the photo

Your's looks really nice.

Where did you find the tail lights?

steve211 · 07-17-2007, 11:43 PM

DITO!!!

Where does one source those cool TAILIGHTS????

ZedStyle · 07-18-2007, 12:08 AM

screw the lights, i want his 280...

myfirstbenz · 07-18-2007, 01:38 AM

I made those tail lights

I actually went to a local store, got a can of the spray tint...
Masked everything except the amber, then did two light coats, then revealed the amber and clear and did one coat over the both of them, and then I removed all of the masking tape over the red and cleared the entire tail light. I am really happy with the results, not too dark and a hell'ova lot cheaper than the $250 that KATMAC wants for smoked tail lights

The trick with tint spray is that it can look spotty if you spray too light and it can get seriously way too dark too. Tint both lights at the same time in the same way to get good results. I love them.

This weekend I also, finally, installed the euro wipers on my headlights, and damn is it nice to not have those US headlight panels with the holes in them under my euro lights

My bro had some euros and wipers on his CE but didn't need them, so I bought him the blank panels from the dealer and I took his panels and wipers. If you are thinking of doing the same, I recommend Tower Paints, since they will mix you a 16oz aerosol can of your cars paint in enamel or laquer. I chose enamel and then cleared the panels. Looks shmantastik.

I can't wait for winter nights when I can clean my lights from the comfort of my drivers seat.

I looked on their website and they are no longer there. I had my reverse lights tinted on my CLK55 that perfectly matches the look of the W210 E55. Since I'm not a DIYer, I had a shop in Cali purchase a new set of tails, custom mix the tint and spray and bake the lights before shipping them out to me. Came with a lifetime warranty.

These are the ones I want!

Chappy · 07-18-2007, 08:11 AM

Could this be the one?

Thanx! they make the car look 50x modern! I mean you can have the car hooked up, rims lights drop, and the tail lights will ruin the entire thing if not smoked!

When I did them I was like
