Guten Tag!

Just brought home our 08 451 Passion Wednesday and I'm super stoked about it. Can't wait to start digging into the aftermarket. Already ordered the stereo install kit because the factory stereo is terrible but so far everything else is really fantastic.

If anyone has any input on CAI's for the car besides what can be found at Smart Madness I would appreciate the input.

Thanks all!

I think of all of the available CAI's, the Genius version looks about the best, IMHO

Is Genius the brand? I've never heard of them. If you have any more info about them I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot!

Genius is a great vendor / designer / producer of parts for our smarts... Matt is the man behind the genius name.... for the ultimate aftermarket he can hook you up with a Hiabusa swap.

Hi 451AMG,
There is a group of smart owners right around you, the Smart Alecs car club. It's a good way to check out what other owners have done to their car, and have some fun. let me know if you are interested.
As far as mods go, there are several good supporting vendors to this forum, check them out and you can read up on some of their products by searching this forum, it's a great resource.

Welcome aboard!
Tom

Thanks Tom, I would certainly be interested in getting involved with a local Smart group. Where exactly in the Lehigh Valley are you based?

Welcome Lehigh Valleyan fellow smart owner!!! Glad to see an extra smart on the roads around here
E-bay may be a good source for aftermarket parts if you know what you are looking for.

Smart Alecs

It seems that we meet at often at the America on Wheels Museum in Allentown. I'll forward your info on the Bill Bessman, our chief instigator. We do have a St. Patricks day parade event coming up on March 12.

Supporting Vendors List is right over there
<<<<<<<<<<<<<
at the bottom.

Smart madness does seem to have the Most stuff but their are other items to be had from the other vendors as well. Although, some of the vendors over there have nothing to do with smart like the sand sport folks
