Will do bro. I hope they drop some intake and exhaust mods soon. I am sure those will help free up a few hp. It will be hard to compare the Renntech to the stock tune because my car only has 400 miles on it and I have not opened it up yet. I am sure the car will feel much faster....the Renntech ECU delivers a 70 pound increase in torque.

Were you not able to find AMG logo stickers for the brakes that feature the new, modified "A" character that has been used on new AMGs since 2012?
If you'll notice, the "A" in AMG now is slanted.
The original logo on the CLA45 AMG brakes should've featured the modified "A" character as well.

Awesome work buddy! Looks so much better! Keep the photos and mods coming….you are motivating me to do my exhaust to match the NSP!
What about a black spoiler option on your car? We both have white so I am curious your thoughts??

Thanks bro, as soon as someone drops a carbon fiber trunk lip spoiler I am going to pick it up.

Btw, I think you've done a great job with the mods you've chosen thus far. Tasteful yet aggressive.
