I think the outside looks pretty good, not a big fan of the Fab kit on an Sl but this one looks nice... now scroll down to the interior... barf!!!

That sound system is hilarious! Kind of clashes with the refined image of an Sl. The seller should be a carnival barker, his sales pitch is full of pomp and circumstance.

Whatever,

I was surprised he did not have a SLR nose on the hood. The great thing about tuner shops is that they can create you anything that your taste desires.

The car kind of reminds me of art, not all art is beautiful to my eyes.

Talking 10,300$ bid...and it's already 2-3 days into it.
For a $90-100k car, I'd probably pay $30k for me to buy it off & hide it somewhere in storage.
LOL

EWWW that interior clashes alot, but I've seen alot worse. I'd take it and put back the original interior and put some different rims......actually those rims could grow on you so who knows.
