You could throw that into a savings account... lol
You could replace the badly curbed rim.
Still got a busted tail light or did you fix that?
Buy a Spin Brush Pro & Save $490.
Get rid of those Primacys and get better tires?
IMO, the DDM HID kit is worth it. I'm not talking about projector DEPO *****. I'm talking about just the PNP HID kit. As you know, I have the 55w 6000k kit in my stock housings and the beam pattern is just as it was with stock halogens and the output/intensity is amazing. Mine was $84 shipped and has a lifetime warranty that has already given me two new bulbs when 1 failed in July.

I am interested in the HID kit. Did you get yours from DDM? I went on their website and only say DEPO, and only said 35w. I would want to go with what you have if I did though.
I have the V6, but the m272, not m112.
It depends on what you meant by components. If you mean a matched spring/strut combination (like Eibach's, which I have) or coilovers, that would be good (though over $500!); if you're talking springs only, I don't think that's a good idea, as it will decrease the life of your stock struts, and the combo would not yield a good handling car overall.
For your $500, I think that sways will give you the best bang for your buck, from an enjoying your car perspective.

Another thing, off topic as it is, my dealership now has a small computer lounge for customers, and they did not block this website. I am waiting on my dad's S550 to get balanced, and thought I would check in.

Drew, my kit is from Apexcone/DDM Tuning. I don't think DEPO makes the HID bulbs and ballasts on any kit, just the lens, but I could be wrong. Anyway, 55w, 6000k, stock housings.. I now cannot imagine my car with halogens anymore.

I'm contemplating doing an overall lighting upgrade. HIDs, xenon fogs, maybe LED city lights. Who knows. Any recommendations on companies and such?

Thanks, but that's a little too expensive, and without springs, not a viable option.

Hids get at SharpHID.com they are 100% behind their stuff, dont forget you need BIX=Present to be changed at the dealer.
Also GET A TUNE! for 300 dollars its a good deal, and every one makes a tune for the M272 V6.
