Looking for GOOD aftermarket parts for a 2001 ML55
I have decided to add some things to my ML55 AMG after having it for a few years. Can I get some input here on what I should add? Price is no option here.
Before i forget, I am wanting to part with my factory AMG wheels (18") with dunlop's on them, along with the factory exhaust, etc. Whatever I put on, I sell the oem
Brakes - the factory rotors and pads are terrible. I was looking at EBC Brakes - rotors #'s D1102 and D1103 with EBC Pads DP61363 and DP1395. Primarilly looking for drilled and slotted rotors and KEVLAR pads.
Front bug shield - anyone GOOD make one? My car is silver. Looking for clear or i will settle for smoke
I am looking for a chip. Honestly which one is gives the most power using 93 octane fuel?
I am also looking to rid of the AMG exhaust. Want something that is less restrictive and a little louder.
The air box - All I have seen on ebay and on the net are these crappy made in china pieces of garbage. Does anyone make a real cold air intake or something besides clamping a K&N to the MAF and using a bracket?
I am also in need of the rear cargo cover for the ML55. I have the dark grey (almost black) interior.

Update:
Ok, it looks like I will go with the brabus exhaust, powerchip unit, and renntech intake.
How about underdrive pulleys? I am looking for them also.
Finally, a rear spoiler - somewhat like the lorinser one without the brake light in it.
One thing that has been on my mind was what to do with the 150HP NOS (wet) kit that I have left over from my 2001 Audi S4. Has anyone put one on their ML55?
Supercharger/turbos available for this yet?
Rear tail lamps. I have a 2001. I would like the clear jeweled center look.
For all you wondering, my thoughts and seriousness was never ever fueled by "rice" Just Kraut and german beer... (and German women... with better shaving habits

Ok did some deciding and whatnot. Going to go the route of the KLEEMANN Kompressor. As I said, no holds barred in this one. My budget is $25000.00 to put into this ML55 to make it look like a silver sleeper

If you want something louder, Brabus probably isn't what you are looking for. Brabus exhaust has an awesome exhaust note at idle but once you come of idle its fairly quiet.

sorry i meant to say once you come *off* idle it is pretty quiet. I agree, at idle it has a nice rumble, not too loud but just enough. Accelerating it is pretty quiet, slightly louder than stock.
