I would determine your...
1. Budget
2. Realistic goals...performance/aesthetics
I think the W211 AMG platform has probably been the most extensively modified AMG on here...that is just from my perception and from personal experience...so there is a wealth of experience that you can tap as far as mods. Just take the effort to do a search first and get a gauge on how far you want to go based on what you find. The W211 AMG platform is over 8 yrs old so a general question as far as recommendations has been covered a multitude of time.

Yea it does in that pic. What was weird is once I start the car it lowered a little. I can mess with it again I suppose. Just the first time I lowered it, as usual the rear was dumped and had to adjust it back up.

Maybe its also the angle... here are a few more pics.
This is from earlier today at my buddy's house
And here was my first aweful attempt last night when it got dark on me working g on it in the driveway at a friends house. Don't laugh too much at the rear dumpage.

Haha yea the "little" 18s. I told my buddy today if he ever put different wheels on his CLS55 I have first dibs on his 19s.
And yea thanks. I love the color. I did notice when I was shopping for a car most were black or silver. I really wanted white, but I am OK with black Opal. It sounds like its pretty unique. Probably not as rare as white though.

+1...CH..."at least twice" is an understatement. To OP...I'd link you up to some threads but its a ***** to do it on a cell phone. Just try the search button...you will get a lot of info (more than you want possibly) on mods you can do...mild to wild.
I would determine your...
1. Budget
2. Realistic goals...performance/aesthetics

Ok awesome, I've already done lots of searching. The one thing I really want to do is upgrade the awful factory nav. I have only found one descent looking solution, and that's the Dynavin unit, but can't find any concrete answers or verification if it will work in my car with HK 7.1 I have a nice Kenwood DNX9960 nav unit from my last car, but from what I hear would be a nightmare to try to install in my car. Anybody have anymore info on what options I have from what I've found searching so far?
