New SL550 owner, helpful tips?

So I bought a 2009 SL550 (It's on a truck on it's way to me, have not taken delivery yet). Any cool extras I should buy? Should I buy mbrace? Any other helpful tips or tricks anyone want to share? Thanks guys.

I would look for a windscreen on craigslist or Ebay if the car doesn't already have one.


I would also buy a smarttop.
The smarttop allows you to drop the top with a key from like 100 feet away instead of standing next to the car.
You can buy it from www.mods4cars.com/ .

The instructions were simple and the install was easy, so I did it myself.
It takes about 1 hour when you do it the first time and then 30 minutes or less there after.
