I'd say you'll definitely feel a difference especially after driving it for 6 years completely stock

I'm trying to get a price from one of our sponsors, Eurocharged. I can't believe I missed the deal they had in January for $165 for a hard tune and $265 for a tune done over the internet. Hopefully they get back to me soon.

samaritry, so what kinda of differences do u notice in the car....
stock the car is reasonably quick, its moves well, u can get to 100 quick from 60 on the fwy as needed, obviously its not push u in the seat quick but not horrible,
my avg mpg is around 22
is the tune gonna make a 4-500 dollar worth difference do u think?

Alternatively, we now have the EuroTuner that will allow you to flash the files to your vehicle at your own convenience.

So I'm getting my diffuser and euro impact strips installed this weekend. I'm also getting my engine cover painted white and might do my calipers white as well.
Next up is the lip.
At first I was thinking I'd just get the carbon fiber lip, but almost everyone here has it! So I was thinking of going a different route and getting it painted two-toned like in the pics of a fellow member's (slang500) CLS63 AMG below....
It looks beautiful. Thoughts?

i wouldnt do my calipers white, you can ask Karo that question lol it looks really good when its clean but looks like a$$ when its dirty. I've seen someone do the lip two tone before, i was going to do go that route but never did, it'll look nice though. I was even considering molding the lip onto the bumper but that's be alot of work and a project I'd have to do when I have some time, maybe down the road I'll do it.

looking good giannidy. surprised you opted for the dual outlet ones or are you planning on doing a dual exhaust in the future? I was planning on ordering one but everyone has one now lol I might try some custom body work later on down the road on my rear.

Thanks phi. And I actually went with the single outlet one. The right side is actually covered with more carbon fiber. It sucks that the design is like that but here is a closer picture of how it looks:
What were you thinking as far as custom work goes?

Yeah I agree... it looks like I'm missing one side of an exhaust setup. Oh well.
I can picture that looking real good! Your car is gonna look extremely unique if you go through with that, especially with the hood ducts! That is pretty pricey though, my diffuser was just $200 shipped lol.

Wow, i haven't been on here for a week and to see your car with new add-ons makes me envy you! I'm still saving up for the AMG body kit like yours, but it's not happening soon for me. My rear passenger tire just blew up a couple days ago due to a nail that shrew the sidewall into smithereens. It cost me $180 for the tire. It was a sad day.

Yea haha most of my money goes to this car. The other percentage goes to food, clothes and random stuff like my Xbox live and gym memberships lol. I live under my moms roof so she pays all the bills that would normally kill my wallet.
