theory of general forum relativity

Just to keep up with the popular trend of this forum, (that is, talking about mods that one can't afford) I'm going to post a list of mods I'm thinking about. If any of them seem like a waste of time, money, or will make my car look like one of these- , please let me know. Basically, I'll be happy if just aho answers with a "haha" and no one else cares. I'm also posting this to prove my theory of general forum relativity, which will hopefully get me the noble prize in German Car Forum Posting.
-sholly

and now, without further adieu...

Zebrano Shift knob (for my mercedes.com)
AMG Pedals
Bilstein Shocks (to complient my H&R springs)
ECU mod (either form Renntech or Powerchip)
20% Tint
Remus Cat Back exhaust with a high-flow "bullet" cat---> (evosport)

Hey Sholly.
I think that is a great idea.. I continue to research and research what I can upgrade and mod in my C230.. I am not wealthy, so eventually once I can afford a mod I will have thought it through completely. I also think we should all document our mods with photos and explanations of the work, so when we do finally stop talking it in the ground.. we can ensure we truly have a place to help our 202 brothers and sisters...

sounds like youre backpedaling tough guy. if not, why would you have stated out of nowhere that you get paid to make sure peoples computers go down? if your gonna talk trash at least be man enough to stick by it, instead of spitting out some ridiculous remark than cowering in fears of the repercussions.

i thought you would think something like that, I started just fixing them, i got a A+ a little over a year ago, which doesn't really mean **** because i didn't learn anything form studying for that test, then i did that smart certify bull**** and got a lotus and CIW training, and i didn't start out of no where, i did volunteering work for them for two summers before I got the job I do now, I also do a little bit of notary when i get a chance. Believe me or not either way I don't give a damn, and back to mb stuff, I did not get the pedals at formymercedes because they had screws and stuff and i didn't know what that was all about, I wasn't sure if that was the cover or a new pedal, in addition, I had perviously seen others and numbers that moved me towards getting the covers that were from slk/sl,
