Tuning for my 2012 CLS63 AMG PP?

Hi, I just bought a 2012 Cls63 with PP, however, I am thinking about doing some affordable upgrades. At first, I wanted to purchase a body kit, and I got them from Duraflex. I'm telling you, never buy something from Duraflex. I left the car and the kits in a local auto body shop for a week and they told me they had tried their best to make the kit fit the car but failed. Damn it, wanted my cls look special and failed. The WALD kit is gonna cost 14k which is a no due to my wallet.
After alot of googling, I find ECU tuning is a good choice. Which company will you guys recommend for an ECU tuning, Renntech? EuroCharged? Alpha? AMR? Any suggestion? Right now, AMR has the best price which is only 999 for ECU tuning which they say will gain 115-125whp and 155-165tq but wondering the quality.Also, please feel free to give me some advice about other upgrades I can do which really makes some difference. Thanks.Also, my car is still under warranty until 02/2018, will tuning the car ruins the warranty? Thank you.

You cannot go wrong with AMR Performance. I have their stage 1 tune for the C43 and I have had zero issues. Car is astonishingly quick compared to stock and also have not had warranty issues so far. I had a great experience with them, so that would be my recommendation 110%

Oh, I just shipped my ECU to Eurocharged since they have a huge sale on tuning for 900+shipping. Will get it back on Friday, and let's see how it works.
