Looks nice man. Can you post pictures of the sub setup. Do you have any problem with the sound making it into the cabin. I have been doing a lot of reading on here and a lot of people have been taking out their factory subs for a vent hole into the cabin. Also where did you get the carbon fiber for the wheel? I am having a hard time finding a good MB customizing site I have only had my car for about a month now and i am getting the itch already

I have a Kicker L7 and JL Audio Amp...nothing crazy. I have the remote bass knob which is great so I can adjust it. I got the carbon wheel from a seller on ebay...I am getting the interior done in carbon fiber this weekend!

Nice. Great progression.
How do those Tints affect your light output, and are you running the stock HID's?
I was thinking of getting a VERY light tint on my headlights, but I don't want to do it if they sacrifice even an ounce of light output. I went to a shop and one of the owners had headlight film on his W211, and he said even with that light tint, he had to put in 6000K bulbs to get proper light output back. Also, they came out a bit purple-y (the headlight tint).

Probably not, but definitely doing the AMG brakes instead.

Nice work! I recommend a dyno before and after you perform the ECU tune. Then you can see what your actual gains were on your specific car. Good luck!

this tint is like 75% so I only loose like 10% so I still can see. with foglights, its a lot better! I had regular fogs and now projectors, these seems to add more output and can see further. I don't know why yours would be purple though? Maybe he put a 8000K bulb, which makes sense to be a bit purple. That owner doesn't know **** apparently cause 6000k lowers your output lumens. we have 5000k bulbs in our cars and lowering it to 4300k would be better cause you get more shine but you lose the "blue" look.

Do you know if the AMG's are direct bolt on? Do you have any original parts that you are willing to sell?
