    @coldraven, electric atm is a joke... it may be feasable in the future but atm they are nowhere near good enough for even average joe driver..... that is unless of course you like buying bridges
    It's called a splitter, I have included it

    New Front Shocks
    improved brakes
    improved cooling
    Front stability bar
    New Drivers seat and front passenger seat
    Front splitter
    Rear Valance
    Ceramic paint protection
    Improved fog lights
    Improved driving lights
    Daytime LED's

    And anything else we think of along the way

    1. Donut and burnout test.

    2. Repeat 1 two more times.

    3. Police confiscate vehicle and have it crushed.

    Myself and my Sons have more respect for our motor vehicles and other road users to do that. This is why it will primarily be a track car.

    One thing I'm surprised I don't see on the list is a new exhaust system to help that supercharger breathe. It's not exactly a necessity, stock may suffice, but I'd imagine another 5-10% power gain on top of the forced air.
    Any advice given is the direct result of my experience solving my problems on my system. I have no idea what I'm talking about. ~bouge

    I plan on looking at home Certified Pro Owned Benz this coming weekend. But really all depends on the dealer and how willing they are to deal. Gonna be customizing mine as well, but prob only things like LED foglamps and such.

    Haven't decided on exhaust yet, have to get the right mix of extraction and back pressure
