OK, Tell me what you think
I've had her for about 6 weeks, and after reading many threads and a "few" hours in the garage, I thought I would post her pic. I added the 18" AMG wheels and Yokohama Tires. I also added the clear turns to update the look. There were plenty of useful threads about cleaning the paint and detailing techniques that I used. So give me your opinion...

I've never been that big of a fan of those AMG rims, but it does go along with the car. The old SL is one of my favorite Mercedes so you really can't go wrong with one. I also like the clear corners, but whatever you do don't get the clear tail lights. All in all, it looks good.

That's a very nice looking auto.
A nicely done, painted-on pin stripe to match the interior color would give it a very distinctive appearance as well
Where did you find the clear turn signals?

The cleared corners don't do much for me (could take 'em or leave 'em), but I've always like those AMG rims, like on the sport models. The rims that come stock on most SL's are lame on an otherwise strongly styled car.
