If you find your Mercedes-Benz CLK63 AMG just a little too plebeian for your tastes, the team at Renntech have you covered. The high-end Silver Arrow tuners have just turned out a crate-load of carbon fiber goodies for the German monstrosity, all designed to give the vehicle a little extra speed and some flare to boot.

Renntech got started with a carbon front splitter, which, aside from adding a little down force, also channels air to the front brakes for greater cooling. Speaking of those front stoppers, Renntech is also serving up a set of carbon fiber brake ducts as well. Strictly a bolt-on affair, the ducts should be useful if you ever decide to put your CLK63 AMG through some track abuse.

The tuner is also offering a CF air box, rear diffuser and adjustable rear wing for the carbon fetishists out there. The icing on the cake is a set of front and rear adjustable camber bushings. Don’t expect all of this kit to come cheap, though. Tally up all the pieces and Renntech will politely ask for $15,290 without installation. Hit the jump for the press release and a detailed price breakdown.

2011 Volkswagen Jetta being hoisted into launch position – Click above to watch video after the jump

It’s said, by America’s postmen at least, that nothing will stop them from delivering your mail. Comparable dedication is found in carmakers, who will do everything that time, city permits and bagfuls of money will allow in order to put on a good show for the press.

Case in point: The 2011 Jetta launch is still going on in San Francisco right now, and to create the right impact, Volkswagen put a Jetta on the fourth floor of the St. Regis hotel. It took halting a few lanes of traffic and a ol’ big crane to make it happen, but nothing succeeds like excess, right? Maybe next time the can do like Porsche did with the Panamera and just use the elevator… Follow the jump for the video.
