Hey guys, how are all of you doing? I have not posed in a while, but this is some fantastic news! Finally got my (dad's car, my baby) S500 today from the shop (STI motor sports on Washington Blvd, Culver City)

2004 S500

*Tectite Grey/Charcoal (Chestnut trim) lightwood really sets it off nicely.

*317 Comfort package with dynamic seats
*318 Trim Package
*321 AMG sport package
*Active body control
*Distronic
*Electronic trunk closer
*CD changer
*Keyless go
*Parktronic
*Voice Control

*Window Tint
*Chrome AMG thinspoke wheels
*Borla Exhaust with genuine AMG tips (resonator back... stock pipe, did not upgrade to a 3" catback system)
*Smoked Taillights and smoked yellow side markers on the front fender.

This car is just awesome. I will take pics tomorrow and post them. The new 7 speed is a lot better then the 01' 5 speed. The first gear is a lot stronger.

Can anyone recommend any additional modifications? The car is a 39-month lease (started last Tuesday). I was thinking about a chip and K&N filters. (Power Chip and K&N filters). I really would love to hear your input. Also with the Power Chip, it looks like I would get the Gold 93, what kind of octane booster should I buy, and how much of it would I be using? Or is regular 91 octane premium fuel ok?

Thanks,
Alex

I would NOT recommend modifying a leased car.

Ok you guys, got an online photo album working. These are resized pics. I have the high res ones on my comp if anyone wants them. (Good backround ) Hope you enjoy

Yea i agree i don't want to modify a lease vehicle that much, but I just want to pull the most out of this car in the 39 months that i will have it.

A chip and a K&N filter would work well. I wouldn't go past that on a lease car.
