Ive been looking for a good one and i have nt found it yet but i will keep you updated bklyn. I have my own shop now so we can do the swap very easily. I just have to find the porsche first!

thrill i dont think there is anything else to part out besides my wheels and there havent been much interest in them so i might just try to sell them locally or give them to my girlfriend.

thanks

RonnieN Im not to sure about adding to the system you have. I just replaced all of mine with aftermarket products which is the best way to do it because all the factory speakers are horrible and are made with a paper like cone. But if you get all the stuff i can install it all for you. And for a remote start that is impossible on newer mercedes as of right now but they are working on a solution for it. Let me know if you need anything.

Thanks.

A '99 911 is a great car and is WAY more fun to drive than a CLK. Just make sure it is not leaking oil (especially check the Rear Main Seal (RMS)). Also note that the new 911 (2005 - up) looks so good that depreciation on the previous body-style is likely to be steep. Agree that the '02 and newer models are a better option if possible due to the bigger motor and the revised headlights that distinguish it from the boxster.

Do it. There is no substitute.

I'm 6'4"...I just simply can't fit in a 911. make sure you kept that in mind. For me, there is no substitute...for my benz which is both sporty and luxurious.
