hey so it turns out that I'm gonna get a 99 ML320 and I would like to spice it up a bit both on the outside and on the inside. Any ideas on how to boost the hp a little bit without dropping a bunch of money? Any ideas on wheels?(I might take it off roading) any ideas on brush guards? I'm looking for any advice Thanks!

I can tell you you will need a 9mm allen 3/8 drive bit for the bolts that hold the calipers together and a t-30 torx for the screw that holds the rotor on when you do the brakes. (That and a hammer)

I wont need to do any huge mods will I? What about cold air intake? no mods necessary? I'm trying to keep the bill under 3k. Any ideas on brush guards? Any advice on adding fog lights to the brush guard?

I like the wench on the front but the grille guard is kinda wimpy i was looking at this one http://blackhorseoffroad.com/index.html but i'd get the all black one. The ML is silver with a dark grey bumper and i think black would make it look better. Also i'd put on kc fog lights on the grille guard. And I'd probably get rear tail light guards and possibly get a back guard too. Seems a little excessive but the problem is it lacks in the horse power i'd love so i figure might as well make it look hardcore. i might also get a different air intake just to kinda help the horse power. http://www.mercedesbenzwheel.com/mercedes-intake-41/ml-class-air-intake-371.htmlany additional advice? |
