$1500 To Burn!!!

I have $1500 to burn for a mod...which one to get?

1. Smaller Side Mirrors (my car will be two years younger + 0.0001 HP gain)
2. Vorsteiner Diffuser (my car will have a badass rear )
3. ECU Tune (my car will have bragging rights )

*sorry If I keep asking for advice

I would say go for an ecu, it will be the best $1500 u will ever spent on your car.

I think you were the one that had initial issues with the PC tune right? Looks like people are happy with it nowadays. Or go Kleemann. The "best bang for the buck" will be the Eurocharged tune. We just dynoed (sp?) mine and Vegas_AMGs on Sat and he is within 7 hp of my K1. I have the "ROW" boxes and K&Ns which he did not.

Or

You can come to Vegas and help out our local economy by placing a donation in the slot machine.

ECU tune all the way.... You will enjoy every minute of your car even more than you do now after the tune. It wakes the car up big time. Throttle response is also improved all around not just at WOT. So, you will feel a difference even when you're not racing.

Come down to SD and get instant satisfaction with a tune... we have the tool to flash it here


Or wait for me to come to LA next week and I'll do the kleemann tune up there

We also have a front lip and rear diffuser from Euroteck instock.... Or pony up a little bit more and get the quaife installed if you don't have an LSD.

50% off? Well since you have 1500 why don't you get the ECU at full price and give me the 50% discount so they can earn my trust

To be honest, I am very happy with my PC tune still..

Only issue i have is with being scared of getting reflashed... which might happen today because i left my car overnight at mercedes for testing.

Besides Powerchip, who else would do ECU tunes for $1500 or less?
