Renntechs look better in person and in my opinion better on lighter colored cars.

It was a beautiful day yesterday here in GA. Around noon, the temp was fantastic, it was partly cloudy (so the sun wasn't burning your skin), and getting the chance to ride with the top down was fantastic. Definitely a great 4th of July yesterday. It seems that many others decided to join in, since in a short ride I counted 7 cars with tops down. What a nice day for a ride in the SL65.

Yep! The R230 is really in its element with the top down cruising back roads on a nice summer day. The wife and I also took advantage of a beautiful 4th of July day here in Southeastern Wisconsin. It was sunny, mid-seventies and low humidity. It amazes me how the old R230 still turns heads. We made a few stops along the way and got complements on the car everywhere we stopped.

Going back and reading this thread brings back some happy memories

Small update, the swirl marks were starting to drive me crazy. So I bought a PC7424XP from Autogeek along with their Wolfgang 3 step total swirl remover kit. I've wanted one of these DA's for over 5 years now, but never got around to it. Here's the results!
