C63s in the MD/VA/DC area w/ ECU upgrade or other mods

Anyone do the upgrade yet around the area or any other mods? I would love to see & possibly drive a 63 w/ the ECU upgrade. Really thinking about upgrading soon. Also, anyone know a MB service center that is mod friendly?
Just a little worried about warranty issues. Also, figuring out which company to go w/ for the ECU upgrade. Is Renntech & MHP really that much better than Evosport/Powerchip & Kleeman? Price difference of $2k.

Thanks.

Come to MIR on the 23rd for the track rental and you can drive our C63 and/or make a pass in it.

Got to work that day, but I'll try though. I will definitely go next time JayCL600 has it on Sunday.
