How does one find time to add useless feedback to a for sale add they have no intention of purchasing. I could hardly make it on here to try and sell the damn thing.
The $6800 for the tuner kit is completely irrelevant to what im selling.
But thanks i really value your opinion...

Does anyone know if ESS is offering a CARB legal version?
I didnt see it specified on their site. I guess this is my main selling point for west coast guys that dont want to hassle with it.

I'm in CA and pretty sensitive about CARB legal stuff as I'm not into homie smogs. I've done some research and I think I can confirm Weistec is the only one with a EO number/sticker. While I'm not shopping, I think it's valid that some CA guys would want that sticker. GLWS

Regardless of ESS’s groupbuy, VRP is also offering a groupbuy for weistec stage 1/ stage 2 for 8K and stage 3 for 11K. It will be close to impossible for you to sell yours if you werent even considering 8K.

Price is already updated. I feel 8k is fair at this point and yes hind site being 20/20 i should have sold it to BLKRKT (oh well).
Ill seek the 8k and if not maybe entertain buying another one to throw it on.
Always wanted a black series...

It was rubbing before the suspension work was done. The tires are only 1 size larger 265/30/19. I should be able to fit 275 or even 285s. But it was rubbing bad with 265s.

I feel you man, **** happens. If I were you and couldn't find an acceptable selling price, I would just buy another, enjoy the **** out the supercharger and sell it used. At least this way you dont take a full on loss.

I dont really need a 3rd one around my house but this supercharger will not go to waste.
The CA legal aspect may be the reason it sells though. I do love the ESS setup but smog is a pain and since I am somewhat aware of the changes coming for smog it will maintain some good value having the sticker.

Many politicians in CA feel that CARB wields too much power overall. Here's a gem from CARB in 2009. There was a lot of talk at that time about this already being a fait accompli.
In a move that will likely get California's consumers in a huff, impending legislation may soon restrict the paint color options for Golden State residents looking for their next new vehicle. The specific colors that are currently on the chopping block are all dark hues, with the worst offender seemingly the most innocuous color you could think of: Black. What could California possibly have against these colors, you ask? Apparently, the California Air Resources Board figures that the climate control systems of dark colored cars need to work harder than their lighter siblings – especially after sitting in the sun for a few hours. Anyone living in a hot, sunny climate will tell you that this assumption is accurate, of course. In fact, legislation already exists for buildings that has proven successful at reducing the energy consumption of skyscrapers.
So, what's the crux of the problem... can't paint suppliers just come up with new, less heat-absorbent dark paints? According to Ward's, suppliers have reportedly been testing their pigments and processes to see if it's possible to meet CARB's proposed mandate of 20% solar reflectivity by 2016 with a phase-in period starting in 2012, and things aren't looking good. Apparently, when the proper pigments and chemicals are added to black paint, the resulting color is currently being referred to as "mud-puddle brown." That doesn't sound very attractive, now does it? Windshields, backlights and sunroofs are also slated to get reflective coatings starting in 2012.
When we first heard of this issue, an internal debate immediately began as to whether this might be an elaborate early April Fool's joke, but it isn't. Read through CARB's complete Cool Cars Standards and Test Procedures here (PDF link) for more.

I honestly don't follow much AMG related parts anymore but I was under the impression the price $9,999 listed for both stages 1 and 2 on weistec's site were valid?

Here you go! You should take the advice that members are offering you on your supercharger. It's going to be next to impossible to get 8k for your supercharger, especially if it's the older design.

As i mentioned in my question this is a group buy so i guess im banking on weistec protecting their brand and not lowering the prices.
If that holds true the difference would be 8k for my older system and 10k for a new one.
