Renntech mods for cls63?
Has anyone out there had any Renntech mods done to a 63 yet? I've been in contact with the local retailer and there is an ECU mod and air box available now. They also said that the headers are close to being available. Just wondering if any of the mods are going to be worth the high cost.

I talked to the guys in San Diego about it. Looks like it costs about $100/HP which isn't really worth it to me to be honest. That's for getting 30 more horses which translates to about hmmm, maybe 15 at the wheel. In contrast to about $10/HP that I can add to my bike 
.
Do what I am going to do. Wait about 6 months and there will be plenty of options to choose from. This is a HOT car and they're running out of 07s already. I am not sure but what I heard was they only made 500 for the US market (not including special orders I assume). So that might limit the number of vendors willing to spend the required research dollars on anticipated returns but ... Judging by the number of mods available on the 55 I am confident there'll be plenty of options soon.

Note: Headers are coming out pretty soon, probably in early spring/late winter.

Wheel for a CLS 63 in black leather & high gloss laurel, with paddles, of course. I tried ebay and no West Coast dealer seems to have one. Any help would be appreciated.

Yeah we spoke briefly the other day. We could do the Software upgrade with a free Pre and Post dyno for $3000. Or no dyno for $2900...
