Not upset just don't appreciate people running there mouth like Emoving, He is the last person i would want to take advise from about these cars every other person on here is very knowledgable on here and have givin me great info on these cars that is the reason my car (well now your car lol) 
was and is in great shape. But that could be right about the tune. If your intreasted i have a flat hood amg emblem i had on the car i could give to you if you like to come pick it up.

My tech said that all the mods were done correctly and professionally. The only way he could tell the sub frame was replaces was because the part labels were still on other wise he wouldnt have noticed. I have a feeling the check engine light has to do with the stock reflash. Ill keep you all posted when I have more information. Right now i like the hood emblem as is but i might hit u up on the carbon fiber front lip if you still have it

Funny thing is I wanted white too but came across this grey one with 46k and could not pass it up. Great color especially if you black out the grille and other pieces.

That's funny you say that. I want to matte black out all of the chrome trim, handles, badges, grille, and the lips of my wheels, but I'll just wait on that for now.

Always running your god damn mouth one day that mouth of yours is going to be put in place.
Anyway Salty i drove my car in there without any problems no codes no nothing thats the honest to gods truth everyone on here already knew i had engine issues and i swapped the motor as well as you do when i spoke to you over the phone. After having my unfortunite situations with fluid motor union I purchased a 2nd hand motor. After installing the motor at my shop it then took it to Hoffman Estates mercedes had the ECU reflashed and downloaded with the factory software also had them check the entire car over before i took the car. I was told the car was in perfect running order only thing i had were a few bad coils off the motor installed after i swapped out the coils i had not one issue with the car i even drove the car to Washington IL 2 times on NEW Years eve. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to call or message me.

well instead of reflashing it back to stock again, I decided to do some tuning via Powerchip cuz I got a great deal from my mechanic and the Check Engine light is gone! Car has considerably more power through the mid range and WOT now. I also put my iForged Daytonas on as well. The only problem is the offset is just slightly off on the rear so it rubs very slightly on sport 2 mode. Oh well, looks tight and more pics not from an iphone to follow. what do you guys think?

That looks really nice
I recomend ARCH FLARING which is a painless task but will solve your problem, or you can get the offset reduced by a good wheel machine shop, cant recomend anyone in your part of the world.
Had the same problem after using camber adjusting arms on the rear.
