Okay, I've seen it twice this week with WC MB plates. Surely you're on here.

I've set up several AMG meets and drives before. We could do one later this month or next.

That would be awesome.
Ive only had my car a month and want to meet other AMG owners.

Not to get off topic, but who do you guys have do more advanced modes locally?
I am fortunate to have access to a state of the art shop, but id like to meet some techs/shops that already known my car inside and out.

Actually it's a good question.

Same here, would like to get going with mods (mainly bigger tires, and other stuff) but I dont even know where to start (and who to trust).

Otherwise, I'm in for a drive!

I've heard good things about Sonic Motorsports, which recently moved to Milpitas. I would consult Yelp or ask some local shops. I go to European Werkstatt for basic maintenance stuff, but I'm sure they do performance mods.

Thanks for the info!

I'm hoping to get the wheels blacked out and the front chrome wrapped (or plasti dip) but trying to find a shop to do it.

I have no clues on how much it all cost so I've stayed away unfortunately.

Keep in mind that even though I read the forum constantly, springs/coilovers/cat delete/spacers and other things are like Chinese to me.

Rite Way wheels in WC might be able to paint them. That would probably run a couple hundred.

Plastidip try yourself. If it turns out badly, just peel and redo.
