Coming out of stealth

Hello all, thought I would introduce myself. I've been lurking for a couple years but started posting recently. Started modding the C63.

Welcome, beautiful cars. My cars are all white as well.

I am curious to hear your thoughts on how the c63 compares to the SL55. I'm in the market for an SL (more or less) so in regards to power, drive, etc. Im also sure that the SL has cost quite a bit in maintainence?

Lighting was an "option" - Unfortunately, some did not add it. Mine came that way. Depo's are the closest OE looking aftermarket units.

I loved my SL, one of the funnest cars and a real head turner. Even non car women love that car. Unfortunately mine met a bad end. Yes the SL was more maintenance and not as practical with kids (no back seat). I want another one but it will have to be more a weekend car than a daily driver.

Biggest/scariest part of owning an SL is the ABC. Problems with that can be very expensive.

OK, headlights are next on the list, can I just change the bulbs to LED? Or I need a whole new headlights? Found a kit online for $99, any recommendations?

It is not just a matter of changing the color of the bulb output, but updating the look and design of the inside of the light that you get with the lighting package Bi-Xenon. Now you know, look at some pictures of cars with the lighting package and you will immediately see the difference.
