Greetings from a noobie

Hi all, I just picked up a s450 4matic from my local mb dealer and was wondering what are some diy mods out there for this vehicle? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you all in advance & happy Friday.

Congrats on the new ride and welcome aboard.

What sort of mods were you thinking about? Prob the most common would be wheels/tires, window tint, clear bra, etc. ...

Hello,
Congrats on your new ride . Well, I would do some AMG exterior parts on it such as bumpers, wheels but those could be costly . Darkening the tail lights can be considered too .

I think the cheapest and most effective mod is getting that thing tuned. Just a tune will give it S560 level of performance and can be bought for under $1k.

I was thinking about changing the front door speakers out to the ones in the link. Anyone know a shop in the NYC metro or close by NJ area that can do the install?
