GFEAR: Admiring your SL & light/tasteful mods, I think the perfect touch to set your vehicle into hyperspace would be having the AMG caliper logos done in matching RED, NOT the entire caliper JUST the AMG logos on all (4) calipers it would be awesome w/your current mods.

I'm betting you could buy some Vinyl RED AMG logos off the bay!

we took about 10 rolling shots, speeds from 10 to 30 mph, judging by where that is, its probably faster though.

i dont know his settings. sorry

PM ME FOR DETAILS AND PRICING, BUT THEY ARE A FANTASTIC COMPANY TO DEAL WITH, I AM A DISTRIBUTOR, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN THE KIND OF PERSONAL ATTENTION I GOT FROM THEM FROM ANY WHEEL COMPANY.


SORRY BOUT THE CAPS
