What after market parts are available so far for the c230k??
Can you guy's tell me what is available out there as after market parts go. For example:
Under Drive Pullies.
Cat back Exhaust.
Free Flow Cats.
3.73 - 4.10 Gears.
Headers.
K&N Ram Air
Shorter belt.
Smaller pulley for the S/C
Chip
Short throw shifter.
When will the after market companies jump on this car? I think the new c230 has a potential to have close to 300HP just on engine.

I don't know if any domestic (meaning US) manufacturers are planning on stepping up to the plate, are they? I mean, they either go to the american iron (stang, camaro, etc.), or the imports (civic, integra, miata, crx!, etc.). I wouldn't wait for any domestics to start, either. With the possible exception of Unorthodox; it wouldn't surprise me totally if they put out a set of underdrive pulleys. Though, the MBs have so much electronic stuff that I'd be concerned about underdriving.
BTW: did you see Kleemann's nappa/alcantara seating pics? Bodacious! Any guesses on how much that would be?
EDIT: Left out Renntech, who is domestic. They are pricey, though, so they still wouldn't count as cheap domestic.

If you have the C-7 package you already have a short throw shifter If you do not it’s pretty pricy to install it the part runs $510 and 2hrs labor to install. I have not cross referenced it but I think it’s out of the SLK.
Price, one issue is that there will only be 20,000 or so C-coupes built a year. aftermarket sales are much more limited, when compared to Honda, Nissan, and Acura with production numbers in the hundred thousand units or better.

ren, You mean to tell me that C7 cars have a different shifter than other cars? Wow. The downside of having the only one in town (so far) is that you can't compare to others!

Brandon told me the price once, and I believe it's about $4000 total. I'm not sure what it all entails, either. I think seats, door panels, and floormats. But, I'd just call and ask if I were you, they are very friendly. They still talk to me, and I call them with all kinds trivial little questions.

You can also get the color matched door handles like in the C-7 package. They cost about $63 a side are a must if you have the grey ones.
