Just picked up a new black SRT-6 coupe a week ago and do enjoy it so far but already thinking about some small mods..

Traded in my M.B. since I was getting close to the end of the warranty and even though I know the SRT-6 uses quite a bit of parts off the old SLK (R170) still surprised to see the engine part #'s still have the 3-pointed star and AMG logo's

Long-timer over at MBKlasse and MBWorld and will do a detailed search for all my SRT-6 newbie questions but if some one would like to point me in the right direction for some of these, it would be most appreciated


First,


-Looking to change out/paint my lower mesh grill with a silver one to match the silver trim. Anyone done this yet with pics to show?


-Hate the plastic shift **** and did see a Momo one posted a couple of threads down. Any other pics of leather replacements, are these an easy DIY on our cars?


-DIY mod for the MB C32 (same engine as the SRT-6) was to change out part of the intake with that of the SL55's since it's not as restrictive with some positive gains on the dyno. Anyone try this or another aftermarket intake on the SRT-6 ?

-Notice a rattle that seems to come from the display cluster. Dealer says its normal for the car... ..is this a common problem by chance ?


-Lastly, prefer the "beep" sound when I arm my car and found that changing my DAS country settings on my MB thru Stardiag. to Netherlands would produce the beep. Anyone know of anything similar for the Crossfire ?

Again..Thanks for any advice...
