C2Design of Tampa is getting my SLK55AMG "READY" for action!
Well I just dropped my car off by C2Design of Tampa, Florida. They will be doing extensive work on my car. I will be dedicating this thread to the work done on my SLK55 AMG. I will be including pictures of my car before mods (which I have started), during and after. Below I have made a list of all the mods that are going on to my car:
Kleemann Kompressor
Stage 2 ECU
Kleemann limited slip differential
Kleemann front lip
Side amber signals painted in Iridium silver to match the body of the car
LSD-doors
K40 radar/laser detector with laser jammer, this will be a bluetooth system with remote control. The indicators for the K40 will be mounted into my rearview mirror.
Before and after dyno.
The car will be finished by the end of December.
Here is a picture of my car before mods.
More pictures and info to come!

Great looking car 
I think I know exactly where that photo was taken, If you're on 275 West you take the Airport exit past the Hilton or Hyatt and there is a little side road on the right that is parallel to the 4 lane highway that runs into Clearwater? I could be mistaken, but I’ve taken photos of all of the cars in the same location

NOTKTS,
The pictures were taken on a road parallel to FL-60 E I believe it's the same road your referring to, this was however taken in the opposite direction going to Tampa coming from Clearwater. Thanks for the compliments, I like your Lamborghini as well as all your other listed cars.
Zaint10,
Chris and Spencer of C2Design are great, you can always send your car over here and fly down to see how the work is coming along
C2Design is really worth it. I baby my car and wouldn't trust any other shop.

Once the transformation is done we should definitely meet up some time, I'm normally in the Treasure Island/Reddington Shores area twice or 3 times a month.

I'm sure this has been answered before, but what are "LSD Doors"
I can't even order my SLK55 until January or February, but I will certainly be interested in the progress of yours.
It will be a monster

Dinko,
I was wondering if I should do the kompressor or not, after much thinking I have decided that this modification will be the most beneficial upgrade.
Chappy,
Thanks I will be keeping everyone posted.
NOTKTS,
I'm looking forward to meeting up with you once I'm finished, I know it will be a pleasure for me to see any one of your cars.
zaint10,
I have considered doing the headers/exhaust but this will cost me more money and at this time I feel that I'm doing a lot as is. I might do the headers and exhaust later on. At this time I'm happy doing the kompressor, Stage 2 ECU and limited slip differential since this will add the most power to my car.
WDRiley,
NOTKTS answered this question correctly Lambo-Style-Doors, this was just something I wanted to add in order to have my car stand out, I wanted some cosmetics along with performance upgrades.

nishi,
Thank you, I'm looking forward to putting all that power to good use . I will stop by Mercedes to get the V8 KOMPRESSOR logos for the side of the car, I had them in mind as well. I look forward to seeing that Kleemann kompressor in your car as well, good luck to you.

The Klemann kompressor is $11,000? Is that with fitting, or without?
hmm... that's just over 13,000chf... and over here, Kleemann sells it for well over 20,000chf...

If it is $11K, I think I might start planning my '06 B-Day gift.

Shinigami and dsb,
The Kleemann kompressor installed costs close to $15,000.00 but the stage 2 ECU upgrade is needed in order to get maximum performance, a limited slip differential is needed if you want to be able to actually use all the power that the kompressor provides, So this entire setup will cost more. My car will be a Kleemann Stage 3 setup.

Well, we just did the dyno. The car has 293 rear wheel horsepower stock. C2Design will do another dyno when the work is complete. Chris and Spencer of C2Design are great. Keep in mind that the shop where we did the Dyno is not the C2Design shop.

nishi,
I already bought the V8 Kompressor logos from MB, I heard many people complain about the quality of the ones on Ebay.

Thanks, AMG_55
I wasn't planning on getting new rims since I like the rims I have, I actually paid for the 030 package just to get these rims and all the other stuff included. I don't want to go over board with cosmetic mods but I did consider painting the center of the rims, but I still don't know if I should.

What size are your tires/rims on the 030 package? I just bought a SLK350 and absolutely love your rims!
