Pics?
If it goes behing the passenger seat and attaches to the carpet area, it sound like what the owners manual comes in. Or maybe it attaches to the engine wall carpet.

Exhaust

Wow -- $1200 for the Brabus exhaust. Who are the effing kidding? I was hoping the Brabus exhaust could be an alternative to the current aftermarket offerings (which are all too loud).

But not for $1200.

I'm hoping Borla comes out with something usable.

I'm imagining something like the owner's manual case, but made out of netting to store other stuff in it. If so, I think its a good accessory and at a good price. But I'd like to see it first before I order it.

i have the under rocker light kit and the interior light kit in stock (front only).
smart help line for parts had no idea what they actually were i had to send them pics of the packages so they could see what it was. the rocker kit is just 6 clusters of 5 led's with wiring. the interior kit is two clusters of 1 led with brackets to mount them. and then a wring harness that connects directly to the same module. The rear interior light kit i honestly havent seen so i cant say what it is or where it goes.
the net with logo i think is what most or the 08 smarts got to hold their owners manuals. the small hard backed pocket with netting.

the for the brabus stuff the whole kit looks like a killer price compared to building it piece by piece.

I have an '09. Is the manual pocket different in my car? Can anyone post a pic of the '08 to compare?

THANKS!

Yes, very disappointing. The exhaust is priced $200 more than the Brabus suspension package!

Looks like the bike rack has been redesigned and slimmed down from the original design for the 451. But the catalog says the rear body panels and tailgate need to be removed to install this. Why? Can we get the installation instructions to see if it's easily doable as a DIY?

There are two brackets that have to be installed on to the rear absorber. they take 3 three screws each and you have to predrill the bar before installing the brackets. The bike rack actually comes with instructions no where to put them. You do have to loosen the tail gate (just two nuts), and move the rear tail gate seal to drill some of the holes.
DIY..? if you can give your own car a tune up, or build a bird house, yes its DIY but if changing your headlight bulb is a challange then NO its not DIY
(edit)here is a link for the instructions. half is in german and then there are a bunch of spec. pages.http://scp-parts.com/pdf/baserack.pdf
