Here is an interview ith Blvd Customs on the Mercedes-Benz GLK Urban Whip .
1How did the idea for the GLK Unique Whip come about?
1 As part of the SEMA Tuner Challenge, Mercedes Benz had four different build themes, and we received the theme ‘Urban Whip – Turn heads and rule the road!’ From there we just let inspiration take hold and went with a design that we felt would be edgy enough to guarantee results in the ‘head turning dept’. Our design was to use the existing GLK body lines and accent and exaggerate them with bolder fenders, side skirts, and most noticeably a more dramatic front grille opening. We had our concept and when we met up with the ROBRADY staff they had some of their own ideas as well , and the result was a collaboration to create the ultimate cruiser that you see now.
2How long did it take to make this special GLK from start to finish?
2) 2 Once the initial design was in place we had 45 days from start to finish to turn the totally stock GLK it into the Ultimate ride you see now. Without a doubt THE craziest deadline we’ve ever had, but also the biggest chance for exposure we’ve ever had so I guess you’d say it was definitely a labor of love (for BLVD of course!)
3What type of wheel are used on the GLK Urban Whip?
3) 3 26” Asanti AF150’s all chrome with painted black accents, wrapped in 295/25/26 inch Pirelli tire
