What to do for a plate frame for the SLS.

Carbon fiber or just straight black? Any votes for silver?

AMG or Mercedes Benz .... or nothing ?

Slim line or thick?

4 bolts showing or 2?










decisions... decisions...

I have an Obsidian Black SLS AMG GT coupe with the same rims that you have, so I bought a silver AMG frame from my dealer. Looks good in my opinion. Also, since it looks like you just bought the car, or at least recently, you should get the front bumper orange lights blacked or whited out. You can get them from Brabus. They give the car a more aggressive front.

I have the "carbon fiber" AMG from Mercedes. It's not real carbon, just printed. Looks good from far away but up close you can tell it's not real carbon. Came with the car so haven't changed it.
