From WCF...

The Vorsteiner name is still somewhat fresh in our brains following the recent E92 M3 CSL package story, but the California based tuner wants us to remember it permanently. So they've quickly released another kit but this time for the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series dubbed, “Black Widow”.

Striving to subtly enhance the already dangerous looks of the Black Series CLK, Vorsteiner have crafted functional front and rear spoilers which are constructed of lightweight dry carbon fiber. Vorsteiner states the spoilers improve down force & aerodynamics during high speed tests at the track over 321km/h (200mph).

The carbon fiber rear spoiler balances the front end out by extending the original factory rear lip spoiler design by approximately 50mm with a more aggressive wing profile. Both of these components are a direct bolt onto the factory body panels without any modifications required.

That little dinky shift knob looks stupid, but I'd still take several copies of the car, just with darker windows.

Yeah, it's really out of place and unattractive, but it was done to save weight.

Think if I promise to take a dump before I drive it they would give me something that looks good?

Otherwise, the only other change would be to get rid of all traces of red on the exterior and drive around scaring people..

I actually like it. I do agree that the center emblem on the wheels should have remained black. Rear valence/diffuser is a little much though. And that shiftknob? what the hell were they thinking.

Not a fan of the front valence. Why not a CF shift knob?
