Next Mod?
I have been working on engine mods for the last few months & should have them wrapped up in the next couple of weeks... I think I am going to enjoy what I have as far as that goes for a while before I go for cams or something else crazy like that 
I have about enough left in my budget to do one of the next three mods:

- Carbon Fiber interior?
- Multi-piece floating rotors?
- SL63 Rear End with CF Difusser?

Most people will probably say brake rotors, but I find the stock brakes excellent.
I'd say the carbon fiber interior trim...especially if you have wood trim right now (With piano black or dark wood trim it might be less of a priority).
The SL63 rear end isn't that different and the stock SL55 rear bumper looks great as is...especially if you currently have a carbon fiber diffuser.
You see the interior everyday.
Only people with slower cars see your rear bumper.

Thanks for your feedback Lukas!
I kinda put them in my order already & I did OEM rotors on all four corners over the summer BUT am starting to think about areas to shed weight
I am leaning toward the interior as well especially since I have so many CF exterior mods.

I have been really retarded about keeping all of my OEM parts & am trying to decide if I should send Ivan @ DCT (if he ever answers my email) my core or just buy an entire new set... I could possibly be talked into selling my wood... I am easy

Well - just telling him not to go for carbon vinyl - rather get the trim wrapped in real carbon.
