OMG! A satin orange BS, what is the world coming to? I love it when I read about other owners destroying the value of their BS with "mods". It just makes my OEM low mileage BS that more valuable and collectible in the future.

Nope, mine's stock. I've just seen that picture floating around here before.

Good looking black BS. Mine is also black for now but not anymore in a week.

Color choice is subjective and personal. The "Great Pumpkin, Cinderalla's Coach, Halloween" look is unique and makes it stand out from the other sheep. Personally I wouldn't want that much attention. However, I must also admit to seriously likeing a copper colored 2009 Corvette Z06 I saw recently.

So, by just looking at some pictures you know the history of the car? Or do you actually know the first owner? Oh no, it's the roll bar that gives it away

Seriously, nothing personal here, Jimbo. I'm not considering myself a racer, but I didn't buy that car to parade up and down a Boulevard or hand the keys to the valet in front of an expensive restaurant. I had it a few times at the track, but nothing the seem welded and triangulated chassis or the industrial strength rear end couldn't handle. Unless you track it in 100 degree weather, the BS wont even notice it. For street use only, it's seriously over built.

Here's a couple of pics of that poor thing at the track
What wheels are those? They look like the D2Forged I just purchased!!

That sls is amazing except for the wing, it's a little strange and looks unstable. As for this color on the Clk, i think it's one of the few colors where the dtm wing will actually compliment the car.

I'm assuming it's a satin wrap. Is that incorrect?

Yes it is. After wrapping, I am going to keep everything original.
