I have no rattles to speak of, but I'm coming from a Nissan/Infiniti, so my bar may be lower than yours!
What vehicle do you drive?

I did get some cool custom fit floor mats. Only had them in for a month or so. Will see how they hold up in the dirty/rainy weather of south FL.

If you’re looking to save money you can get your mirrors wrapped in carbon fiber for like 75 bucks, that’s what I did. Looks pretty much identical at a fraction of the cost
Yeah, I was thinking about taking the mirrors and making them M4 ones at the same time.
I really wish that you could get color matched carbon fiber. I really want the weight improvement without looking like a tool in my white car with a black trunk lid.

Yeah I gotta admit that with the exception of small trim pieces like mirrors and accents, carbon fiber on larger parts like the trunk look too pimp on a white car. Looks much better on a blue/black/grey car.

My Pops friend was a Czech Mercedes mechanic whos specialty was buying a half dozen 600s at a time from Saudi Arabia, he would snap up the ones that were damaged in big sand storms, all the paint and glass trashed, they were dirt cheap salvage priced. He would repaint, swap the glass and add all the metal to meet US collision standards. They were always top of the line, every factory option so he could flip them for a very pretty penny. A fully loaded Mercedes is the national car of Saudi Arabia.

AA midpipe would be my suggestion. Downpipes require a tune or the car will stumble and throw codes (don't believe a manufacturer claiming otherwise) and if you tune it you void the engine warranty. Food for thought. The midpipe merges both banks and gets rid of most of the rasp/weedwacker sound, adding bass and smoothing the tone. And if you haven't already, Michelin Pilot Sport 4s tires all around.

I mean if the dent is the cleanest part... just dirty it back up, no one will know

That dent isn't something you can fix with suction cup.
You'll have to take the panel off and work it from the inside. Few hits from a rubber hammer might work.

I did not love the M4 and the paddles but clutch, I can’t put my finger on it but it was weird. Cornering and shifting was awkward mainly.

And its fixed:
Have to love the attention they spent on both the interior and exterior. Car is nearly as clean then when I do it myself to prepare for the summer, and it takes me half a day at least.
Happy to have full insurance since the invoice was over 3500$.
