This CLS came in the shop in need of some serious work! We started with the wheels. If you take a look at the "before" pictures you will see the extent of the damage to the outer lip. We decided to give the wheel a make-over and go with something a little different. We kept the centers of these Lowenhart wheels in the original chrome finish. We decided to go give the lips a gloss black finish, which would really compliment the black accents on the car such as the tinted tail lights and blinkers on the mirrors, which we also just finished. The wheels were also straightened and wrapped in a brand new set of Pirelli PZero tires.

On to the brakes... The OEM calipers are just too plain and boring. They were begging for some attention, and we here at Proformance Industries know that attention to detail is a must! We removed the calipers and decided to go with a gloss black finish. But before that, we added a nice touch with the AMG designation. The wheel and caliper combo came together just right!

On to the audio.... This car came in with a custom audio system installed. The owner was having issues with the music cutting out. After some troubleshooting, we concluded the cause of the problem was the amplifier heating up due to a lack of ventilation. We went ahead and installed a few fans and created some exhaust openings. In the process, we also noticed the lack of bass in the cabin. We decided to create a port from the trunk into the cabin. This totally changed the sound and quality level of the bass, an overall improvement!

We also installed a DOT Emergency lights strobe kit along with a yellow top battery to accommodate all the added electronics in the car.

Needless to say, the owner of the car was blown away when he got a look at the car!
