7. There is a chance that your SRT wheels would fit. They need to be 5x112 and as Chappy mentioned, offsets around 30-32 for the front and 35-37 rear. +/- a little could be ok. A test fit is the best way to find out.

9. Recommend eBay for the hood emblem. Around $30 is possible. Several styles available.

10. Could be plenty of things. Different compression ratio definitely calls for some changes. Adjustment to intake, tuning, and exhaust could add a few as well. If you're worried about it being more powerful, remember that ours weighs less

No, just seeing if we can upgrade the w208 for the extra 20hp. From using something specific from the w209.

Much like using an LS6 intake on pre-2001 LS1 f-bodys. Good bump in HP, in doing that.
