One thing I am looking at is you swapping out your speedometer which has the milage on it. I know that if you change something like that, it has to be documented. I had mine swapped out on my jetta due to it being defective, and they posted a sticker on the drivers door by the tire size chart. So, hopefully if you DON'T do that, good luck if you sell it down the road. Hopefully you don't have a ton of miles on it. hehe. I just don't see myself wasting that much on making my car a Brabus. But to each their own. Good luck on the install bud.

Oh, one other thing. Why do you want Km/h instead of Mp/h. You planning on moving to Europe? hehe.

I swapped out the LCD's, so I still have my own info. Before ordering, Boris checked to see if this Brabus speedo would work in a US car. It's confirmed that if won't work for the US. Despite that, Boris said he would order one for me, and if it still didn't work, he would let me return it, EVEN THOUGH he would not be able to return it himself...Boris REALLY took care of me!! That is what I call customer service.

He also said I could try the S-Mann bumper, and if it didn't fit with my Brabus muffler, I could return that too!

Boris has been great with me. I started emailing him and asking questions many months before I even owned a Smart. He was prompt and informative every time. The fact that I hadn't spent a dollar with him, and he still provided that type of service made me come back to him when I was ready to mod my car

But back to your comments - Why spend so much money on mods? Cuz that's the fun part of owning a car for me. Why km/h? I like to be different ...and now it seems like i can go up to 200 mph if I don't pay attention

ROFL, TB you are funny, I give you that. It is good to hear about Boris though. That might be somewhere I go down the road if I do anymore upgrades then my DVD/Nav I am installing tomorrow.

Nice.

Do they have a website with the price for these parts?

Did the tach/clock pods include the silver plastic ring that goes on the front of them? I'm asking because I assume it'd be a lot easier to resell the factory tach/clock pods on ebay with the silver ring.

T-bone, if you get a ticket for speeding, you can tell the cop, you were only going 200 km/hour now.
