Shops for mods around NY (west nassau/ queens area)?
I see there are a few of you from long island/ queens, NY area who had done some mods on their w209. If applicable, can you please recommend the shops (name and location) where you got your mods done? Here is my to-do's before the summer:
1) Replacing halogen headlamps with OEM xenonunits. So far the best price quote I got on a new pair of OEM xenon units was $1100. Ideally, it'll be great to have someone/a shop near me to perform the install and switch xenon on via SDS. Don't want to deal with an MB dealer if I don't have to.
2) I want to purchase the CF diffuser from VIS and get on with quads mod. Like many of you, I'm having a very hard time sourcing for a piar of matching OEM tips (I like the existing AMG dual tips on my car now). I believe Wes (Dyno) said ML tips sold by Parts.com are of the same size as CLK550's. Am I right? I 'm hoping to be able, after all required parts have been purchased, to a body shop and a muffler shop (near each other - hopefully) that can do good and clean install.
If I can map out NY members recommended shops within reasonable distance it will save me much time running around. Appreciate your input in advance.
