300D body kit, tires, suspension, muffler question

If done some work with my car thanks to some of you on the forums, so thanks for the help. I cant seem to find body kits for my merc 1990 300D Tdiesel, any links on sites or stores would help. Same with tires, I dont want 22inch gettho tires, Im looking for high traction good miliage tires that will hold up and give performance in corners, im unable to find any that mercedes themselves make, anything over 19inches is too big (19 sounds good now that i think aobut it), links would help. I also plan to drift this car in about 2 years when I work on the suspension more, are there any stores online or anywhere where they might have racing suspension specificly (or a system than fits) my car? I was also wondering the benefits of drilling holes in the muffler and exaust, what are they? and what are the cons? Any help is appreciated. Car is in the sig.

try tirerack.com

19's are a bit too big IMO for sport driving. Forget drilling holes. You have a Mercedes, not a Neon. Try to search for some cat back exhausts for your Mercedes.
