Everything is bone stock, except an AFE Dry-Flo. Still under 40k miles.

Thanks.

Mercedes Silver in particular, If it wasn't silver i probably would not have bought it. Had to have matching AMG's.

As far as modding, already dropped an AFE dry flow in. When the brakes are due, I plan on swapping them out with Disc Itailia Hyper Ceramic pads and cross drilled/slotted rotors. Other than that, might get a tune from speedriven. Considering I only gained 5whp from my tune on my 01 CLK55, I might pass. Guess depends on price.

Would also love to pick up a set of ML63 AMG wheels.

Looks good, did you add the headlights? Projector housings are awesome.

I'm running ROTA wheels wrapped in Blizzak DZ-1's. Figures when I have a snow tire set up, it barely snows in Chicago. lol

Have you put your setup to use yet?

Don't waste your time or money. That particular ECU is near impossible to tune and given that she's NA, there's not much you can do to her. You can Kleemanize her (SC) or do some exhaust work, BUT that'll give marginal gains.

Great looking truck and looks like she was garaged and very well maintained!!

Thanks Glenn! Got it from some uber AMG enthusiast. Great truck.

Buffed the front bumper got a little more of the scuffs out, doesn't even show in the pix. Was thinking about putting the front bracket on, but just can't do it.

Got my new plate on now too. Police memorial "AMG 8".
