I'll help you out though if you want to get started soon, it'll keep me motivated to do mine too.

Diffuser on, exhaust now
Got back to Dubai last night, picked the car up this morning from the shop that installed the diffuser, they did a very good job. Instead of filling the open space behind the 'diffuser' with foam them fabricated a fiberglass enclosure to block it off and used that to mount the whole set up to 2 brackets on the back side of the bumper. It's very, very stable.
So, I went from there directly to the exhaust shop where they are installing the headers and a full new system from the primary cats back, it should be done tomorrow sometime. One of the UAE Prince's SL65 AMG Black is in the shop getting a full new system as well, snapped a quick pic;

So far all the shops I've had it in have had some pretty nice stable mates. As for the tails, sure, I'd love to change them out but I'm not going to spend a fortune on shipping anything anymore. The stuff you sent me cost me a ton (and in the end, only the Sprint Booster ended up working out!), the camber kit from Ghostrider is lost in the UAE and USPS isn't willing to do anything to assist me and my muffler ended up costing me more for shipping and duty than the thing is worth.
So, ya, I'd love tails, but...

Wes - It's all part of the game when you mod a car in a region/area that requires parts to be imported. And yeah, 100% I'm still full steam ahead and still very positive even after the call I got from the exhaust shop regarding the AMS headers...
Mike - The aftermarket in Dubai is 'picky', there are an abundance of ricer parts for Honda's and stuff for old W208's and 3 Series at the cheap a$$ Chinese market but for newer MB's and Bimmers it's mostly all very high end performance stuff. I looked for the LED tails here for months, everyone that said they could bring them in for me would charge shipping and customs, so, they are getting them from the same places you and I would, just marked up.
