I like the SB on this car more than the GTS--- maybe cause of the wing and other black accents.

Yeah the contrast is great.

IMO input needs more meaty tires.

Or maybe spacers to fill the wheels better?

The stretched tires on all the new AMGs look so stupid, they put a 265 on a 10" wheel on the C63, it needs at least a 285. I don't know what the reasoning is.

A little spacer might help, but the bigger tire would do wonders.

That's a simply amazing car/color combo. The solar beam with the carbon works so well, better than the green IMO.

What was the damage on that one ? Over 200k? Did Fresno charge 30k above MSRP?

Normally not a fan of yellow but it works here with the black accents.
