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.

Thanks gents! They seem promising based on initial impression of their websites. I'll take a ride over either place this weekend. Thanks again for the help.
