Yup, you can. you have done a great job on your car so far.


you run around, you do the labor, you design it.

just for kicks, add up the cost of your parts and factor in a labor rate of, say $120? not to far from reality right now??

now what??


I am sure that they will sell some of those to people that just want to write the check.

I thought thats what I saw when I went to your profile. Atfirst I thought it was a turbo manifold in the process with the flange that looks like it bolts a bov. I would be interested in making the turbo manifold I just need to get a hold of a factory header so I can get the bolt pattern like you have.

I saw it when it hit autoblog the other day... I tend to gloss over posts for the smart on there because the comments get annoying.

That being said, I'd like to hope the leather (pleather?) covered dash from the Brabus makes it over here on our Brabus... that would make it more accessible for me to slap in my car

Yeah, Autoblog tends to have a lot of armchair car critics that have never driven the (not just smarts, but any) car but then bashes them for anything and everything.

Why can I not see pics on that site anymore??

I too looked at the photos yesterday but they won't come up today. They are spectacular, wish I could find some of that workmanship locally..
