Mercedes CLK with Prior Design Black Series body kit

Prior Design has introduced a new body kit which makes any Mercedes CLK (W209) look like the CLK 63 AMG Black Series. Constructed out of Dura-Flex Fiber Reinforced Plastic, the kit includes a front bumper, a ventilated hood and ventilated front fenders. There's also revised side skirts, extended wheel arches, a trunk-mounted spoiler and a rear bumper with an integrated diffuser.

While the styling kit closely mirrors the CLK Black Series, owners of entry-level variants will likely want to add a sportier exhaust system and larger alloy wheels to complete the transformation.

The styling package is currently available and is priced from €4,999 ($6,720) which doesn't include paint or installation.

Mercedes CLK 63 Black Series by RENNtech

U.S. tuner RENNtech has a new carbon-fiber aerodynamic kit for the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 Black Series.

The body kit includes a front splitter, carbon air box, front brake air ducts, a rear diffuser and a DTM rear wing. That carbon air box features a vacuum chamber that adds up to 10 hp to the CLK Black Series total output.

But those 10 extra horses don't come cheap. The air box is priced at $2795 while the front splitter and rear diffuser cost $2450 and $3250, respectively. The DTM wing comes it at $3350.

All carbon components are available in either a matte or gloss finish.

RENNtech is also offering a suspension upgrade too with front ($1250) and rear ($945) adjustable camber bushings for improved handling and braking.
