Couple hundred bucks at the most. Find someone who does interior work. Usually Audio Places will do this. All you really need is a few yards of Suede (Alcantra) and it is glued to the top.

That's all it is. You can do this yourself, but I'd rather have a pro do it.

****, where do I start? $5k - $6k on wheels. $5 grand for Kleeman Headers & ECU. $3200 (est) on Kleemann LSD, and the rest for minor things.

My suggestion, don't spend the $16k at once. Go order some wheels from Peter first.

Just my 2 cents. Get a Kleemann s/c and you'll feel like you've purchased another car!

I have 2 choices , either to mod the car , or save and buy a new car... to tell you the truth , the SLK 55 feels numb.... i dont know if its from the tires,,, + the car doesnt allow you to drift ... but with my ex carrera S 996 , even with PSM on , lets you drift the car side ways...

I thought I can do the same with the 55 , too bad I guess my skills applicable in other than MB's .. MB electronics are against me all the time

Jam, you aren't running the Kleemann SC, right? I think you have the AMG blower & other power mods from Evo & Kleemann (ie pulley, ECU, LSD, headers & exhaust?). You didn't yank your AMG blower & replace it with the Kleemann SC now did you?

Aren't you putting down about 460 RWHP? :v

See ya,
